True to classic Chinese cinema, cheesy in all the right places. Great take on old fable. I know squat about Chinese cinema, any cinema for that matter. I know I like this movie though! I love it and I want everyone to know that it is worth watching. These other fools haven't got a clue either. I'm glad it's not dubbed in English. The fight scenes are full of great stunt work. They aren't running through the tree today or any crap like that, wushu and drunken style kung fu is just fun to watch. Many styles of kung Fu are represented in this film including chi gong, Shaolin and ti chi. I can't attest to the costume or historical accuracy.

I enjoyed film. Story line kept me interested & had some twists to it. Fight scenes were not too numerous, long or exhausting.Loved subtitles. I usually don't watch these type of movies for more than a few minutes. This film told a story, highlighted with martial arts.

This was a terrible film -- not well done at all. I wouldn't even bother watching it, given that there are so many better movies in this genre.

The good: Not much. Costuming was lovely. That was about it.

The bad: The story, the acting, the pacing of the film (ponderous).

The ugly: That I actually /purchased/ this DVD. Thankfully, it cost less than $1, but it wasn't worth that.

Bottom line: Avoid this. Most kung fu/wuxia films are at least entertaining for the action sequences, but this is just a couple of hours I'll never get back.

I love terrible kung fu movies. That being said, this was so much worse than terrible that I couldn't even finish it. If a film could give a human being cancer, this would be the one. The fight choreography was decent. The direction, acting, dialogue and everything else about the movie made me want to strangle puppies. HBO did a very, very poor job of rendering this story watchable. 1/10 can not watch. Can also not watch the next movie because I've poured bleach in my eyes in order to not be haunted by this crap.

When I stumbled upon the 2016 Chinese Kung Fu movie "Master of the Drunken Fist: Beggar So", of course I took the time to sit down to watch it, as I do enjoy martial arts movies and Asian movies quite a lot. And usually the movies that include the drunken style of Kung Fu tends to be rather enjoyable.

However, turns out that this 2016 movie from director Jian Yong Guo wasn't one such movie. Sure, it did include the drunken style Kung Fu, but this was hardly an enjoyable movie. Why, you may ask? Well, because of the storyline, the acting and the dialogue.

The storyline and script was just almost as far from being interesting as it could possibly be. And the flow of the movie wasn't really an overly appealing one, as it was slow and tedious, taking forever to make little progress. And it didn't really help that the characters were like cardboard cut outs with little or no distinctive personalities.

As for the acting in the movie, well it was stunted and mediocre for the most parts, which was a factor that the movie suffered terribly from. And with the atrocious dialogue that the writer had mustered, then the actors were fighting and losing an uphill battle.

It should be said that the props and costumes were actually good, and the martial arts scenes were also good enough. But these things were hardly enough to make up for all the shortcomings of the movie.

I am rating the movie a mere three out of ten stars. I managed to endure just a little more than one hour of this ordeal, and I have zero interest in returning to finish the rest of the movie, because it just failed to be entertaining. I only endured a whole hour because I wanted to give the movie a fair chance and hoped it would eventually pick up its pacing.
