    One Bad Movie!

    LOL I must say, THIS is one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life. I don't normally watch movies that are dubbed because they always seem to make more sense when you watch them in their original language with subtitles. This movie must have been dubbed by English speaking people from another country who were either really bad actors or weren't actors at all. I was so distracted by the language issue that I couldn't even pay attention to what was going on in the movie except for the fact that there were a lot of fake flames, a lot of people running and screaming and some really weird music so I changed the channel. I do believe that if this movie were watched in its original language with subtitles it might not be as bad because the actors were actually pretty believable if you watched them without the sound.

    Intense Action Film Filled with Emotion

    THE BRAVEST accomplishes the extremely difficult feat of delivering stunning, edge-of-your-seat action along with intimate emotional moments and very appealing characters you can feel for and root for. Even though it's set in China and subtitled it feels absolutely universal, so you can lose yourself entirely in the story no matter where you're from. And it's not afraid to make you cry. First rate, eye-popping summer entertainment about real heroes rather than superheroes. A great time at the movies!

    Lousy Chinese movie

    Cringe worthy, some bad effects, horrible acting. Only China giving it good reviews. Truly appalling.

    chinese melodramatic heroism

    This is far away a theatrial melodrama of dimensions, that gives you a pampered roller coaster ride of heroism and grief.

    its based on true happenings back in august 2015, and the film didnt mention that 170+ fatalities and 700 + injuries batteling the fire. far to little has leaked out on this incidenjt so we must embrace the film that has been made, because the fire and the action inbetween the saluting and words of wisdome are very well made.

    if you like firebattling in the danger zone, do watch this , the grumpy old man did. by all means recommended
