A man is kidnapped and held for reasons he's never told, only to be let out to be confused alongside this movie's viewers.
I want to like this, I really do, but it makes no damned sense.
Just tinkering with a perspective that bounced around my head just now.
There are two frames of mind when doing paired martial arts training.
Permission is "softer", and honesty is "harder". Both of these things are important, and both pose problems.

In a forest where any who die rise as zombies, an escaped convict does something something.
I got 1/3 in and got bored. It's too over-the-top.

Upon hearing of his master's death, a man returns to Shanghai amidst tensions from its Japanese occupation, and learns there was foul play.
Quite a good movie, with all the basic elements. There's next to none of the B-movie cheese that's pervasive of such films, so it's good enough for everyday people.

An assassin tries to leave the life, and though she gets tracked down she survives and takes to a life of revenge.
Incredibly drawn out. I've seen it some time ago, but even attempting to re-watch this makes me cringe. This gets grouped into the category of "I'd be able to pay attention if the lead character was better looking." .. and like those other films, that still wouldn't be enough to make this a good movie.
This is a shit movie that only did well because it was unique at the time.

This is the whole of volume 1 and volume 2 put together.
- I understand there is a DVD release, and it'll be shown in theatres for some reason. I also found a fan edit.
- Properly titled Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair
-
There will probably be a sequel.

Something about a sword that's a greenish, and some people who fight and think fighting is cool because of honour and all that.
I also think there's a Princess Leia/Luke Skywalker thing happening, but I was too distracted by the terrible mixing of accents.
Like superhero movies, this genre has completely worn out its welcome. I'm no longer interested in the same old shit, and even the attempts at story telling have become bland to me. Its scenery and music have become samey and aren't going to make up for the lack of captivating characters and a solid story. Overused wire-jumps are not exciting. And stop with that screeching sound when swords are un/sheathed.

Properly titled Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny

The world, having gone to shit for some reason, has no guns for some reason, and, in a world nothing like Mad Max - (1979 movie), things happen for various reasons.
It's a manly man man show, with fighting and stuff, though it does have some sort of fantasy fiction quietly woven in. It seemed fair, but I struggled to get through season one and just didn't care after a couple of episodes of season two.

Loosely based on Journey to the West, attributed to Wu Cheng'en.

Kung Fury travels through time to fight the forces of Kung Führer.
A fantastic action-comedy, most especially for people who grew up in the 1980s.
