Review of 1911 - Revolution (2011) by Patrick L — 05 May 2013
Universally bad reviews and then I come along and give this movie 5 stars and 10 out of 10!
What gives? I am not a Jackie Chan fan, like one negative reviewer, but I did watch this film finally, deciding to avoid the deleted scenes and watch only the film first.
A good move on my part as it turned out that the film is watchable whereas the deleted scenes do not provide the fact that watching one means you will be watching all of them plus the behind the scenes feature and the preview. No link called "Play All" because clicking one the first one means you will watch all of them, no ifs ands or buts.
Having subtitles on proved distracting as the spoken English didn't always match the subtitles and there were small historical references that popped up from time to time.
1911 Revolution is a sad yet fascinating look at the end of the Chinese Empire, the 1911 Revolution and the revolutionaries including Dr Sun the first president of revolutionary China. 10/10.
