My Comments: It had been such a very long time that I've been to cinemas to catch a movie because both of us are busy and in the same time we are busy shopping as well until we do not have time to catch a movie. Finally today we manage to spend some time in cinemas although we are on a shopping spree Sunday again. This time, I've watched Petaling Street Warriors (大英雄•小男人) at GSC 1 Utama. This movie is a local movie with the combination of Malaysian and Singaporean artists and with the combination of both, this movie set to be one of the good locally made martial arts between Malaysia and Singaporean history. With the local director and a Hong Kong action director, the martial arts in this movie had improved tremendously but still there's a lot of room for improvement.

This movie was filmed in Ipoh, Perak in one of the ancient streets of Ipoh and it was then acted by a bunch of famous actors including Mark Lee, Namewee, Chris Tong, Henry Thia and many more. I guess we do not need to introduce this artist anymore as they are famous in your eyes. This movie talks about martial arts and a story of a few thousands of years ago where it was then ruled by Qing Dynasty and many of the enemy's are hunting for the treasure map which linked to the Qing Dynasty. Then Mark Lee have to fight for his life to save himself and can he survive? At at end of the movie, do catch some funny scenes where he acted with a lot of kungfu idols such as Bruce Lee, IP Man, Wong Fei Hong and many more. This movie mostly gives you 90% of laughter and I guess you will simply enjoyed the jokes at this movie and the storyline meanwhile was well documented as well although it still have some leakage where in some scenes, it's not so logic. This movie has a little similarity as Kungfu Hustle that was acted by Stephen Chow previously. Overall, I would recommend you to watch this movie in cinemas as I would classified this movie as above average to good too. Enjoy! MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING 4/5
