“Painted Skin 2: The Resurrection” Chinese Theatrical Poster
Director: Wu Ershan
Cast: Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Vicky Zhao Wei, Yang Mi, Feng Shao Feng, Bei Cheung, Kris Phillips
Running Time: 135 min.
By HKFanatic
“Painted Skin: The Resurrection” was an easy movie for sites like ours to cover since every trailer released for the film looked even more beautiful than the last. Yet I doubt many critics expected “Painted Skin 2” to go on to become the highest-grossing movie of all time at the Chinese box office. Over there, “The Resurrection” was released in 3D; here in North America we’ll have to make due with its 2D iteration. Even without the added dimension, this is a sprawling, beautiful mess of a movie. The story unfolds with all the logic of a fever dream but it’s filled with as much eye candy as one too.
There’s been some speculation about whether or not Western audiences will be able to follow the plot of “The Resurrection” since it is very much rooted in Chinese folklore. This is a mythic tale where fox-demons feast on beating hearts and characters trade faces on a whim. While I’m not sure if I ‘followed’ the story, I thoroughly enjoyed myself the entire way through. After watching countless historical epics that strive for realism, it’s refreshing to see a Chinese-language film more reminiscent of the free-wheeling, special FX-infused Hong Kong staples like “A Chinese Ghost Story” or “Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain.”
Director Wuershan is ably in command here, recovering from the scattershot nature of his directorial debut “The Butcher, The Chef and the Swordsman.” Wuershan’s comes from a background in TV commercials, which is perhaps why his first film made me feel like I was channel-surfing as I watched it. In “Painted Skin,” the filmmaker displays a much tighter control on the film’s visuals and mood. And during quieter moments, the camera actually settles down long enough to showcase Wuershan’s cast.
The scenes in which Zhou Xun (“Cloud Atlas”) and Wei Zhao (“So Close”) play opposite each other are particularly well-acted. Their relationship is at the heart of the movie and it’s not a simple antagonistic one. Rather, there is a subtle game of manipulation occurring here as these two lovely ladies vie for the other’s close-kept possessions: in Xun’s case it’s her beauty, in Zhao’s case it’s her mortal heart.
Viewers craving nonstop action may be disappointed by “Painted Skin 2” as fight sequences are memorable but occur infrequently. Regardless, “The Resurrection” features enough pastel-colored landscapes and gorgeous costumes to rival any Hollywood production. The computer effects are way above average for an Eastern fantasy, putting movies like “The Storm Warriors” to shame. Some renders may not look completely realistic, such as the giant black bear that attacks in a forest, but the story takes place in an abstract fantasy land – realism isn’t a necessity.
My eye was drawn in from the opening scene of Zhou Xun trapped in her icy blue prison. Legendary concept artist Yoshitaka Amano (“Final Fantasy” series) lent his designs to “Painted Skin” and there are times when the film looks like one of his drawings come to life. I honestly don’t think I could pay the movie, or director Wuershan, a higher compliment than that.
“The Resurrection” may be a bit scattershot from a narrative standpoint but it’s destined to go down as one of 2012’s most visually spectacular films. Wuershan’s pop-fantasy confection is likely to delight viewers in search of good old-fashioned escapism.
HKFanatic’s Rating: 8/10

“The Man With the Iron Fists” Theatrical Poster
Director: RZA
Writer: RZA, Eli Roth
Cast: Russell Crowe, Cung Le, Lucy Liu, Byron Mann, RZA, Rick Yune, David Bautista, Jamie Chung, Daniel Wu, Gordon Liu, Chen Kuan-tai, Eli Roth, Pam Grier, Jon T. Benn, Terence Yin, MC Jin (Jin Au-Yeung)
Running Time: 96 min.
By Laser Beahm
If your 11-year-old son, nephew, grandchild, or alter-ego were to write and star in their own version of a Kung-Fu film, “The Man With the Iron Fists,” would be that film.
“The Man With the Iron Fists,” is an entertaining, gory thrill-ride that takes place in the fictional Jungle Village; a place for pirates, gangs, and whores. The film throws in everything a good Kung-Fu movie should have: action-packed fight scenes, a battle of good and evil, beautiful women, and fortune. “The Man With the Iron Fists,” however, reads more as parody to Kung-Fu movies than it does homage. The plot is muddled. The characters are underdeveloped. The scenes range from embarrassingly over-acted to confusing. But, for all its faults, it still has heart and is almost endearing.
The film is former Wu-Tang Clan member, RZA’s directorial debut. While it’s chaotic and perplexing, I found myself rooting for RZA, his character the Blacksmith, and, most of all, his movie. It’s as if I am watching my own son act in his first play. Sure, it’s riddled with flaws but there’s something so charming about the enthusiasm that oozes throughout the movie as a whole that I can’t help but love it despite all of its pitfalls.
There are moments of sheer brilliance. The scenes are beautiful. Zen Yi/The X-Blade, played by Rick Yune, does a fantastic job on screen. His martial arts skills are amazing, and his acting skills bring a brooding and stunning richness to his character. The main villain Silver Lion, played by Byron Mann, is the epitome of an anti-hero. He’s coarse and money-hungry, willing to hurt and kill anyone who gets in his way of amassing a quick fortune. His performance is reminiscent of David Bowie in “Labyrinth”: cool, beautiful, and Broadway-esque.
RZA himself does a great job as the films protagonist. He is enigmatic, dark, and worthy of the love of his muse, Lady Silk (Jamie Chung). However, the film takes a very strange turn while explaining RZA’s character, the Blacksmith. Taking us down a tangled web of slavery, monks, and a shipwreck, it’s never very clear just how the Blacksmith ended up in Jungle Village at all. But that’s just par for the course. The entire movie is built on a maze of stories that never really lead up to the action at hand.
The most confusing character of all is the Brass Body. While former WWE wrestler Dave Bautista looks amazing as he shows off some of his classic professional wrestling moves in the film, there is never a discussion as to who he is, who he is working for, why he is living in Jungle Village, or just how he came to have a “Brass Body.”
Russel Crowe also appears in the film as an Aussie mercenary named Jack Knife. His introduction into the film begins with him ripping a large man in half with his knife, then delving into a night full of debauchery in the Pink Blossom whore house, led by Madame Blossom (Lucy Lui). While Knife ultimately helps the Blacksmith, again there are problems with explaining why Crowe’s character is so sociopathic yet so willing to help the Blacksmith.
If you’re up for sheer entertainment and too tired from a long week at work to care about a precise plot, then I say “The Man With the Iron Fists” is definitely worth the money. If you are a Kung-Fu purist, with a knack for character development, then this movie will definitely lead to disappointment. Go with absolutely no expectations and you will come out feeling puzzled and completely entertained, like I did.
Laser Beahm’s Rating: 5.5/10
