Jue zhan shi shen

All together I loved the movie, since I watched it purely because of the cooking scenes.

But as the movie began I was getting frustrated, because the story had no sense from the beginning (it is like from a children's book), and don't get me started on the voice-over.

But I quickly figured out that it is probably meant to be watched with a lot of humour, so I continued to watch it laughing at the stupid scenes and really enjoying the pure cooking moments.

Seriously, the movie has some of the best sound effects and CGI I've ever seen. Purely from that point, I loved it.

In summary, horrible story and scripts, but amazing sound effects and edits.

The usual problems that the Chinese movie script writers and their directors could never improve:

Lousy and child movie ideas and concept, weak and childish plots and scenarios, bad and pretentious dialog writing, terrible, weak, talent-less, unnecessary supporting actors, bad costumes and make-up skills, over the top and overkill settings.

Some of the dishes in this lame film are simply beautiful and amazing, but in the end, you would find out those western cuisines are so pretentious, not as good as a stir-fried dish.

The young Chinese chef was nicely and naturally performed, others, were simply ruined by the childish and pretentious screen-play. All the supporting characters, especially some those male ones, were so obviously without any acting talents and were further ruined by the ridiculous script and dialog.

This film is just a bit better tolerable than the stupidest film of the decade: The Great Wall.

This is a hard movie to define since it obviously suffers from local cinema issues, yet there is quite a beautiful story to discover undernwath it all. I would specially praise the CGI and the actual food, they both look absolutely stunning. If there was something that I would genuilnly change in this movie it would be the pacing and yet I still can't help but love this movie.

Is a story that takes advantage of the trend of the moment (chef) to send a message to humanity, without losing the perspective of encouraging the human to prepare to compete and try to always be the best, however we are the same anywhere in the world , We forget the most important, our responsibility (guide, teach, love), but nature is so wise that it gives us the ability to challenge the half world and face our own executioner, to receive as a trophy a simple .. "Son, well done"

The movie is really enjoyable ,, kinda has that 2005 dance off competition movie .. except it's cooking ;) The story was sweet and even if the plot was a bit predictable it has that fun action element that makes you glued to your seat and wanna see what's next.

The camera work and the visuals though .. WOW ,, It was just phenomenal ,, all these close ups and colorful dishes just made he movie itself look like a happy place to be just in time for the Chinese new year fireworks celebrations.

The cast were really good ... just loved the whole the chemistry and it was all flowing in one place ..

Finale say ,, it's already on your Netflix recommended foreign movies ,, so don't miss it out.
