Funny my ass
I've finally watched the Initial D movie earlier this afternoon after getting tired of wacking people on the PS2. And all I have to say it's an overly-hyped piece of stupid crap. I could barely get through the first disc without pressing the fast forward button. I'm a big fan of the original anime, but this utterly boring movie shouldn't be made in the first place, by a Hong Kong director of all people.
C'mon, a singer without ANY acting experience(or ability) is cast to be the main character? Fuck, even those Ah Bengs cars in the movie has more credibility. Jay Chow should just stick back to singing. He tries to be all cool in the movie, but ends up being a constipating anti-social bore.
Anthony Wong is a great actor. He was fucking great in the Infernal Affairs movies. Here, his character is drunk 90% of the time, slurring and babbling incoherent lines and fucking stupid jokes. The director then tries to be Wong Kar Wai by using fancy, dream-like camera works, but instead made the movie even worse. Edison, Chapman, Jordan and the Suzuki chick are just for decorations purposes in the movie.
A lot of people said it was real funny. I found that to be so not true. It's just a boring and terrible movie. A total waste of time.
