I went to watch Dance of the Dragon last night...thinking it might be one of the better Singapore production...sadly...its so awful i think its the worst movie of the year...even though its only May now...I am sure no other movie can beat this...if there is a raspberry award in Singapore, this definitely deserves the top prize.
For a movie about dancing, there are surprisingly few dance sequences. There was an absolute lack of direction and lots of unnecessary side stories which makes no sense at all. I had a hard time staying awake and at the middle of the movie, the was a weird diversion towards martial arts...martial arts? Thought this is about dancing? The director also couldnt decide whether the story is set in 2008 or 1978. First they showed Jang Hyuk arriving in modern Singapore, with the Singapore Flyer at the background..then later he arrived at the dance school which seemed to be located at a very old row of shophouses in the 1970s.
There was nothing good about the movie...the english was bad..the plot was thin...the soundtrack was terrible and yet it played like forever..The dance sequence at the finale was nothing to cheer about...it was badly edited and with the inclusion of Enrique Iglesias "Hero" drove the final nail into the coffin. Everyone in the theater burst into laughter...it was embarressing. I find it hard to believe that Fann and Jang were able to pull off the final dance sequence when the movie did not show them practising it together...not even once. If you are considering watching this movie...keep the money. It sucks.
