Man in the Funny Hat
Hero
Saw it yesterday. I went in with very low expectations. It had already been painted as a problem production with the whole "Quick! Everything Chinese in the movie has to be made North Korean or China gets mad and that's bad for business! Why didn't we do that before starting to film?" Then the critics starte to see it and gave it the "Do Not Want!" label. I figured there'd be some neat explosions and gratuitous automatic weapons fire and and so-bad-its-good bits.
I was surprised to find that I actually kind of liked it. Although rather thinner in story, more predictable in plot (being a remake), still not as good as the original in many ways - yet actually better in a few, I found it enjoyable enough to declare that It Doesn't Suck.
