Comment on ‘Twilight Of The Warriors: Walled In’: Cannes Review

That review says:
All of these action sequences – and they are legion – are crisply choreographed, high-octane yet always legible.
But The Guardian complains that, while:
the athleticism and fight choreography is impressive, even if the action is edited so frenetically that it’s almost impossible to follow.
As it’s already on the Odeon app (although no screenings are listed yet) I’ll be seeing this and will have to decide for myself - the way they filmed the action in Monkey Man really let it down.

Ohgods. You had to mention Monkey Man. 😱🥹 What s disappointment that thing was.

Sorry, but I thought I’d share my suffering from the inadvertent flashback to Monkey Man whilst reading the reviews.
It was disappointing as there were a lot of good ideas in there that would set it apart from the other one-man-army films but they dropped the ball.

Ferreal. Hanuman is one of my personal favorite fables (incl the early plagiarism by Sun Wukong’s existence, yes), and they did my fuzzy boy dirty AF. 😱
