TEST SCREENING
REVIEWS OF BULLETPROOF MONK***
Ain't-It-Cool-News
has posted reviews from the first test-screening of Bulletproof Monk
which were held this past Saturday night. The participants who
attended the screening were told they would be watching a movie called
Silver Bullet, which in fact turned out to be the first official
test-screening of Bulletproof Monk! Note that a "test
screening" is not the final cut from the movie. It is merely a
rough cut of the movie to see how the audience reacts to it. The
music, special effects, and editing are not completed in this
version. The reviews posted on the movie site provide extensive
scene-by-scene descriptions of the movie, including major plot spoilers
and character descriptions. Among the three reviews, the first one
(which was the most extensive review) was pretty negative, citing problems
with the movie's storyline, special effects, and action sequences.
However, the reviewer admits that this WAS a rough cut of the film (ie:
incomplete special effects & editing), and says that the movie has
potential. He also makes some suggestions on how it could be
better. The second and third reviews were more positive.
