The IT premise is a bit flashy and shorthanded. The CGI of data traveling on the circuit boards, IT criminals only using one hop to perform their attack on Chinese Trade Market, each IT professional being trained professionally to shoot fire arms? In one scene, they're reading machine code, obfuscation code and hex code directly, not using a hex conversion, eliminating "salt" coding, nor searching for coding signatures. And using what looks like only maybe 100 bits of information. He uses CAT and says "there's the code" like the first set of lines was supposed to be some mind-blowing reveal. Another scene, they located the physical location where cyber criminals were running their operation - hard to believe they moved to a physical location instead of tracking their activity remotely. On red alert of a suspicious financial transaction, the "network engineer" jumps to the seat of a computer and begins typing because she is supposed to figure out how to track their transaction... using what? Ping? Was she supposed to SSH into their cisco switch and turn off the port to their computer? Also, why was the Chinese communication dubbed? lol. Feels like a cheap attempt to get into China's good arms by creating a b-rate film in their country. I think the only thing I'd give them props for was using a real helicopter and firearms in their action scenes.

Rumor has it the star penguin, Steve, died early on in this production during the cataracs but his brother Chad was more than willing to take his place. Way to go Chad!

Seriously undervalued. I don't think the people that watched this did the research to find that this is more than 'really cool moves.' Huo Yuanjia was living individual who did establish a martial arts athletics association, he was about chinese nationalism at time when european colonialization was becoming rampant, he persevered in the perishing Qing dynasty long after WWI, and his cause of death was most likely due to some form of internal organ failure or his asthma but the actual causes are unknown (and there are 2 stories that hold true, one of them being the competition). Although, there were no revenge killings of the Huo family, there were no lavish lifestyles, so this embellishment did earn Li his share of legal disputes due to his portrayal of a still extant family. Yes, there's mystical stunts but i think the intention was to also include a bit more realism into their choreography. Watch it for the action and you miss everything.

I obviously came here because of Jermaine and Taika, which, compared to the Flight of the Choncords, the WWDitS was slightly more comedy-blunt than Flight of the Choncords. Think The Office. The Comedy is there with the writers what with their own satirical and witful play throughout the episode: the theme music from the original movie (You're Dead Norma Tanega) or clumsy vampirical situations (such as an overpopulation issue in Transylvania), subtle paradoxes that apply to Vampires (such as trying to take a selfie in the mirror). They also play with other factors of comedy such as Virgins being the best source of food and referring to LARP (Live-Action Roleplay). It isn't easy to come out with consistent laughs without also belittling a plot so I think production is in it for the long haul and is trying to draw out the likeability of the characters. The 2nd episode solidifies each character's position in the series a little more and I think they predicted the audience wanting a blockbuster pilot but pulling back toward the characters a little more afterward. I feel it's great things to come. I also wouldn't mind a great comedy from FX and I think this is something to enjoy in the long run.

I find this movie ahead of its time. The acting, the casting, the dancing (Julie Walters was amazingly agile), the script, the playwright - everything was put together well. An individual has a passion that confronts sexism and prejudice. It's an underdog story, that is as embrasive as it is ruggedly real - not some typical, easy-going turn-around near the climactic end. It pursuades people around their views for the sake of an individual's innocent desire for success. It is based around the UK Miner's strike of the 1980s and a ballet dancer from the rough north of England that the writer, Lee Hall, interviewed to get some of his inspiration from - the realism adds authenticity all around the film.
