Worse than The Room? Not ever close. Just judging by the trailor—the color was processed well, the scenes are (often) lit properly, there's more than three people in it, and most importantly; there's like, stuff happening on the screen. The Room has none of those things.
I am DYING to see this movie, in a theater, and b/c I live abroad, I probably won't be able to.
The thing is, I saw some publicity on the Internets for this, and I thought, Y.K. Kim, Y. K. Kim, why does that sound so familiar? Why does that guy look so familiar?
He's familiar because I grew up in Orlando in the 80's, when this movie was made, and when Y. K. Kim had his mug plastered all over billboards on I-4 and on commercials for his dojo all over UHF teevee (Channel 35, w00t!).
Oh, what better way to spend a nostalgia stiffy than to watch 80's martial-arts nerds act out their Hollywood fantasies.
@2 I was with you until that last 10 seconds. The rest of it was basically a very dated music video intercut with mediocre action scenes. But that last bit sold me - I WILL SEE THIS!
(it's so good)
Good for the soul!
