Kung Fu Hustle

I just went to see the new Stephen Chow film Kung Fu hustle and have to say it was a great film. Visually it was amazing, however much like Sin City was there is a strong sense of surrealism because of the CGI and other special effects used. Of course going to see films like these you don't expect reality and complete lack of laws of physics is just part of the story and setting of the film. However it is interesting to notice how blatant the use of CGI and other techniques can be in some films over others. As has been mentioned before, in films like lord of the rings the cgi armies are meant to be seamless, you're not meant to notice that they are not real. Yet in Kung Fu Hustle some scenes just seem blatantly fake. So the use of the new technologies in films varies from trying to create realism to simply showing off.
The worst aspect of my trip to the movie though was a power surge that meant the projector blacked out for awhile, very frustrating for a subtitled action film.
Anyway I found the film very enjoyable, very funny at some points and some neat special effects.
