Summary: I don't get it
Review: Cheesy, nearly incomprehensible (and that's WITH subtitles) movie about shape-shifting monsters fighting against a select group of Asians known as "The Anti-Monster Squad."Not a whole lot of this movie makes sense. There are subplots concerning a romance between a human and a monster, between various family members inside the monster family, and someone working in the Anti-Monster Squad betraying them to the monsters. Folks, there are a couple of choice moments in this flick. I think this is the only movie I've ever seen where a man has sex(?) with a pinball machine and our heroes are antagonized by a large, circular clock while making every dumb "time" joke you can imagine. However, this clearly belongs in the bargain bin, or even in the trash can. Don't waste your time with this. It isn't worth it.

Summary: Not for martial arts seekers
Review: First of all, this movie is not co-directed by yuen woo ping. Woo ping acts in this movie,and from the lack of fight scenes you can tell he didn't have anything to do with directing. Don't get me wrong though, this does have some very interesting scenes. For example, monster father and son standing on top of and controlling some airplanes. Or their complete disregard of the laws of physics. Bottom line. if you're looking for a woo ping directed martial arts masterpiece, you'll want to look elsewhere. Like,Iron Monkey,tai chi2, wing chun, Twin Warriors

Summary: A movie for anyone who had a love affair with comic books.
Review: I grew up reading comic books and watching Anime cartoons. I adore movies which revive the exitement I got reading though the latest X-Men or watching the next episode of Evangelion. Wixcked City is cheezy and overdramatic; but this is its charm. Comic books and Anime ARE almost annoyingly goofy--building secret organizations with super powers, they give a reality to our dreams. Wicked City has surreal fight scenes. It has a twisting and turning, sometimes confusing storyline. It has special effects remnoscient of early Godzilla movies. It is a live action Comic book. It is Anime come to life. It is a pleasant change from the high budget Hollywood movies. To anyone who still dreams of flying like superman, or wishes they had a superpower, this is a movie you will enjoy.

Summary: This was not good.....
Review: I have seen Wicked City on vidoetape years ago and found it to be very good anime. The animation was excellent and the storyline was extremely interesting. I decided to rent the DVD and it was NOTHING like what I saw years ago. Firstly, it was NOT anime. It looked like a cheesy b-movie. Secondly, although the story was the same (at least the parts I watched before I turned it off in disgust) the special effects were cheap and unconvincing. I would think twice about watching this.

Summary: HONG KONG BEST SF MOVIE EVER MADE
Review: I was amazed by the concept they did to the change of the original animation. Even with a low budget ( compare to hollywood ) They did a great job and did a lot of effort to make it big. Real fun to watch.Sit back and let yourself blast. It's a rollercoaster ride in the wicked city.

Summary: Take it for what it is and it's great!
Review: I've read all the reviews on this page, and people are taking this film far too seriously. Tsui Hark is a good writer people,a nd you don't know satire when u see it? He takes so many elements: Sci-Fi, wacky hong kong comedy, martial arts and john woo bulletfests, and overloads them with cheesy melodrama. Peter Mak takes all these elements and weaves a lightning quick stupid movie that you can't help but like. I've read many reviews that it has underlying tones about the Chinese takeover, but that's really reading into the film too much. Have a few drinks, and enjoy this film for what it is!
