User Review - 8/10 by Edward RThere are so many reasons to hate City Under Siege, it has laughable dialogue, embarrassing costumes, most of the effects are bad and the story is just flat out ridiculous. That's exactly why I liked it. The story is about a group of performers(lead by Chou) who open up a container full of chemical gas. This turns them into super strong and super fast mutants. Kwok plays the good guy isn't effected visually by the chemicals. Chou and his group of mutant buddies terrorize the city and it's up yo Kwok and some friends to defeat them! While it is so stupid and laughable; that's what I found so delightful about it. There is even a live triangle to mix in with flying mutant dudes fighting each other. The only people I recommend to watch this would be those looking for a fun, albeit hilariously stupid, ride full of rediculous.
User Review - 6/10 by Victor Vchina's first mutant movie is like x-men. lots of characters competing for screen time, plenty special effects.. on top, martial arts (wire-fu) action! loads of talent, ageless shu qi so hot, chou vs. jing.. storywise and pacing tho ehh x;
User Review - 6/10 by Roger CNothing surprise in Story and acting, fighting styles and scenes are designed quite nice though.
User Review - 6/10 by Shui Yen SSilly but entertaining. Aaron still looks very very good :) :)
User Review - 6/10 by Stevens LIt seems like Hong Kong movies are having their confident to win back the name of top 3 film industry in the world, but I wonder how will it work when the scene of their star system stays the same as 20 years ago. However, "City Under Siege" provides more choice beside Hollywood.
User Review - 6/10 by JY SBenny Chan's City Under Siege doesn't live up to its name, yet it does find a way to amuse.The story is straightforward, while the storytelling is uneven. The 1 hour 50 minute run time contains the humor, the action, and even some drama; however, overall the film feels somewhat, for lack of a better word, cheesy. That isn't to say that this is an awful picture because it is entertaining in a silly way.Given the talent of a few of the actors, the martial arts wire-fu action is lacking in quantity. As for the quality, it is pretty good despite some overload on the makeup and CG effects.The cast is loaded and Aaron Kwok is the star of the show. His performance is the most notable piece in the entire film, aside from some of the action segments. Simply put, Shu Qi is nothing out of the ordinary. Jingchu Zhang, Wu Jing, and Collin Chou never reach their full potential and this is a disappointment.City Under Siege does have its flaws and its satisfaction level is a toss up. Not a high recommendation, but one to take a chance on.
User Review - 6/10 by Joe TThis film felt cheap. But that investigator guy was good.
User Review - 6/10 by Kevin RThe whole movie doesn't have a focus - you don't know if you are watching science fiction, action, romance or comedy. Feels like more can be done to the story and characters' buildup. But nonetheless, the action sequels are still worth watching. Not awfully bad but as some critics said, HK should still stay away from science fiction movies.
User Review - 6/10 by Entoman JI noticed 'Funimation' in the early credits, and sure enough, some of the voices used for dubbing are veterans from anime titles, North American dubbed versions. One line summary: Fairly good as action-comedy; Funimation did not do well on the dub. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The film opens in a Japanese prison camp in Maylaysia, 1945. The Japanese experiment with chemistry to artificially produce a super soldier class so as to turn the tide in World War II. This fails and the bad stuff seems to be lost. In the present, Sunny is a buffoon in a traveling circus troupe, the Thundering Daggers. He fails at knife throwing, and does better as a clown. One night he goes with fellow troupe members to check whether a small group has found some gold. Sunny's fellow circus members knock out the gold hunters. Sunny falls down in the middle of the fight. When he gets his bearings, they recruit him for doing all the dangerous steps first. The find a bit of gold, but also release the chemicals that the Japanese experimented with. The thieves hop a boat for Hong Kong. Sunny falls into a fishing boat; he gets very hungry, eats some of the catch, and grows quite fat. The crew discover him and throw him overboard while out at sea near Hong Kong. In return for changing her tire, Sunny gets a ride home with Angel, who is a star reporter on CSS News on television. The mutated thieves stage a violent, showy, and very public attack. Two expert researchers (Suen Ho and Tai) are brought in by the police. Angel loses her job because her producer found a younger woman to sleep with. Sunny regains his usual shape the next morning. His Uncle Tak thinks Sunny is trouble. The Malaysian police blame the thieves in the troupe; Tak gets most of his possessions appropriated in recompense. Sunny goes to straighten all this out with the police. By chance he meets Angel outside the police station where a robber is holding a policewoman hostage. Sunny throws a stick through glass, then through the robber's hand. Sunny is lionized, and Angel helps him get away from the crowds. The mutated thieves see Sunny on TV, and are really angry, since Sunny recovered his normal shape, whereas they stay messed up. In fact, they are moving to a second stage. The attack soon enough, and Sunny is both quite skilled at fighting them, but sometimes also quite bad since he is unfamiliar with his mutant powers. The two researchers intervene. They also have usual abilities, but perhaps not enough to match the thieves. Sunny and the researchers eventually prevail. Sunny becomes the hero, and then a media star with Angel's help. The 'researchers' are just using Sunny as bait. More confrontations are to come, especially since the lead mutant wants to drink Sunny's blood to return to normal. In a major confrontation, Tai is killed. Sunny convinces Suen Ho to train him. Meanwhile, the mutants continue to evolve and unleash a reign of terror across the defenseless city. Angel has no idea whether Sunny is alive or dead. Who will win the final confrontation? Will Sunny find himself before the city is burned down? Will Sunny and Angel become more than business partners? -------Scores------- Cinematography: 8/10 Almost always good-looking and well-shot. Sound: 5/10 The incidental music was reasonable for increasing tension. Unfortunately, in the dubbed version I watched, the translation was terrible. The subtitles did not match the spoken dubs most of the time. The sound of the voice was disinformation. Acting: 6/10 I liked the performances of the two principals, Aaron Kwok and Qi Shu in this film. However, compared to his performance in the glorious Floating City, Kwok was using less than 10% of his craft. It was like watching a master chef conducting a wienie roast. I did not believe the acting of much of the supporting cast. Hearing the dubs by anime voice actors made this much worse. Screenplay: 5/10 As an action comedy, this should have been quite good. However, the war between the subtitles and the dubbed text was a major detriment. The director's intentions were much harder to see when the voice said one thing while the subtitle said something contrary or even contradictory. When my sons were younger, I watched many hours of anime with them; this was usually the North American version of the anime. I recognize some of the anime voice actors used in this live action film. This added another layer of dissonance. SFX: 6/10 Mixed bag here. Some FX are well done and fit well with the fight choreography. Others look just plain stupid. There is also the recurrent matter of explosions that seem to have no cause at all. I found those the most annoying.
User Review - 6/10 by Cat AAwesome fight scenes, teary moments, a hot guy. Only real problem is the movie is too long.
