Big Brother

Are you serious? Although this movie is a very positive movie, it still have A LOT OF problems.

Donnie yen comes back in this film as a teacher. A great and wonderful teacher for certain reasons at that.

He does a wonderful job at potraying someone wise and witty and has gone through a lot of stuff for his age and he shows that he truly wishes to teach his students well.

The film's plot itself might be a little overused and cliche, but it's still a fun and sad film to watch. I would have given the film 9 stars just for Donnie Yen's performance. 8 stars because of the film's plot.

However, the film is still riddled with multiple action scenes, true to Donnie Yen's nature. The fights are exciting and unique as it incorporates modern day popular sports as well as some of Jackie Chan's famous prop fighting that adds to comedy.

Overall, it's 8.5/10 for me. 8 because there's no 8.5 but it's not so good that it deserves a 9.

Overall the movie is predictable and pretty ordinary. But it was also refreshing to see Donnie Yen in this role. I am certain as he ages he can't go around beating up the world.

I liked the family elements in this film, which are universal. I think they did a decent job of exploring various difficulties that many families struggle with.

I found this change of pace to be refreshing versus a never ending conveyor belt of Asian martial arts films.

A favorite of mine is "Eat Drink Man Woman"

Anyway, if all you want is martial arts, you won't find much of it here, some, but not much. If you want to see how we all are the same no matter what language we speak and we face the same challenges, you might enjoy this film.

I went into the theatres expecting a full fledge martial arts movie, but I got more than that. The movie totally blew my expectations away, as Big Brother touches on gender equality, racism and more importantly the flaws in today's education system. The role a teacher plays in his/her students' lives, to inspire and motivate.

Reminds me of the hit Bollywood film, 3 idiots, but with more action scenes.

Have not seen a movie that brings out so many positive messages for a Long time.

Also was not expecting to go into the cinema to see so many people wiping their tears during the movie - a very touching movie with comedic elements and incredible action sequences. A movie with a lot of heart and effort, and deserves to be applauded.

Definitely recommended to be watched in theatres! :)

Plot is all over the place, characters are boring and unlikeable, dialogue is clunky and cliche, acting is subpar. It's just not a good movie, the whole thing was very heavy-handed. I've seen and liked bad Donnie Yen movies before (Iceman for example) that still had good fight scenes and were endearing in their own silly ways. This is not one of them. If you're watching it because you're a hardcore Donnie fan like me you can suffer through it just to say you've seen every movie he's been in. But if you're watching this because you're looking for a good movie you won't find it here. The people giving it 10/10 are either paid bots or were part of the cast and crew lmao. There's no way anyone watched this and thought it was a masterpiece, it's not even a top 50 Donnie movie.
