Rating:  - Introduced before and bought later.
I previously had taken a Mandarin Chinese class in high school, and was influenced to buy this ASAP. Then, college started and I never had focused to buy this DVD any time sooner. Then, I decided to buy it on Amazon because I doubt I could get it anywhere locally in the stores. The DVD had came in a decent packaging, no sign of scratches and watched it a few times after it came already. I figured the price was decent and was well worth the investment. Thanks.
Rating: - Silly, adorable family movie
CJ7 is a wonderful little family film from Stephen Chow. Our family has been long time fans of his work. This movie was no exception.
It is not as violent or action-oriented as his other movies, but still keeps the quirky, silly sense of humor that makes a Stephen Chow movie.
It is a darling gem of a family movie. There are plenty of moments of hilarity, and a few sweet moments, too.
Definately worth a watch.
Rating: - CJ7 is awesome...
First off the negative reviews surrounding this title seem a little unfair. After reading them, I suspected that this film contained something completely awful. Such was not the case... though it does deal with themes that are a little mature I wouldn't say that this film is for the entire family and that is it's misconception. The film is geared more towards adolecents and adults more so than children. the film is quiky and what you would expect from Chow. but it's humor is somewhat dark at times. Either way, should you sit your 8 year old next to you and view the film? I would say it's probably not the best idea. but it is worth watching for yourself. CJ7 is quirky and sweet.
Rating: - Quirky feel-good SF
This amusing Chinese import appeals at many levels. Dicky (the boy's name in the subtitles, at least) lives with his widowed father. The father struggles to make ends meet, while sending Dicky to the best school that he can afford, determined that Dicky will have all the chances in life that the father never had. Dicky struggles too. Poverty makes him odd kid out at school, and small size makes him an easy target for the school bullies. Almost everything more than essentials in Dicky's life comes from his father's knack for salvage - including an odd little toy ...
It would be easy to say too much about this charming movie's plot, especially if you've seen *Batteries Not Included. I leave it to you to watch this self-consciously cute story unfold, all the way to the smiles-all-around ending. The movie's style seems heavy handed, by western standards. Acting and character stereotypes come across as blunt instruments, and the "flying warriors" idiom makes an improbable appearance in the schoolyard. A few things might grate on Western sensibilities, too, like what constitutes good parenting - although generally kid safe, a few scenes might not work for very young or very skittish children. If you can take it in its own terms and ignore a bit of saccharine, you'll find some charming fun in this one.

Rating:  - Cyanide first.
First of all, anyone who likes this movie is an idiot. Let's be absolutely clear about that. This movie is a heaping slab of crapribs.
For example: **SPOILER** The malicious little twit who finds himself in possession of an entirely creepy, dew-eyed extraterrestrial beast isn't content with just having a toy. Never mind the fact that previous to having this little gooey alien around his only amusement was squashing cockroaches, no. When the alien critter thing fails to magically grant his master a 100% on an exam, what does this charming little pleb do? He stabs it to death. I kid you not - HE STABS IT TO DEATH AND LEAVES IT IN A DUMPSTER. The movie is filled with piles of this kind of misanthropy. It's like a travelogue on Why Not To Ever Go To China, Ever.**SPOILER OVER**
Anyone who says this movie is one of Stephen Chow's best has quite obviously never seen any of Stephen Chow's best films. Try God of Cookery, for starters. And no, this doesn't even work on a camp level. It's not so bad it's good. The children actors are abusive, shrill little boat tailed grackle sounding annoyances, and Stephen Chow - who's freaking greatness is diminished by this scandalous rubbish - is only on screen for about 10 minutes, total. The rest are annoying children, ridiculously over the top, swelling, awful orchestral music out of an A&E rape drama, awful CGI, and other miscellaneous filth. If you value Freedom and Justice and Peace and Love and Everything That Is Right With The World, ... Read More
