The Promise with Cheese

The Promise was so terrible!

If there is an award for Cheesiest Show of the Year, it wins it without trouble.

Oh well.

Maybe Cheesiest Show of the Decade or Century? That would do it more justice.

I can't remember any other show that had me twitching in agony in every other scene.

I seriously cannot fathom why it is labeled as "The Asia Epic Fantasy" or something like that. My foot!

If you thought that House of Flying Daggers was bad, this is ten times worse.

I thought Hero was bad the first time I watched it, but I actually enjoyed it a lot subsequently.

Sitting through the show was sheer torture - the scenes didn't link, I was clueless about the dialogue and plot (if there was even one in the first place), the effects were so-so.

The Goddess seems to have nothing better to do than to come down to Earth to make bets with mortals on their fate. What fun does one derive from gambling when you know it's a sure win?

There was a scene at the end where everyone was stabbed and slowly dying. I felt like grabbing the knife to stab myself too. Give me William Hung doing She Bangs any day. On second thoughts, I'd rather stab myself.

Perhaps the director was trying too hard to make it into an artistic movie.

Conclusion: Don't watch it.
