Painted Skin

Meh. I was expecting an action flick with Donnie Yen, but it was more of a romance story. Even for a romantic movie, it wasn't that great. But, the demon girl is good eye candy. The one good thing that did come out of this is that it got me curious about the author of the story.

How does it compare to Twilight, because that movie was god awful

I haven't seen Twilight, so I can't say. This movie wasn't all that great either. From the action sequences to the cinematography and everything else, it was kinda mediocre, if even that. Of course I'm no movie buff, but I can tell when a movie isn't all that great. The story is interesting though (original story by Pu Songling).

i don't see it as a hong kong twilight.

Painted Skin is one story from a set of chinese folk tales ... I see Twilight as some teeny bopper book turned into a movie.

I watched it, it's crap. The story itself has no depth, but that's excusable because the story is from the chinese folk tales. The main problem is the director's complete lack of direction, he doesn't know whether to make this a kung-fu movie or romance movie.
I had to sit through this piece of crap and wasted $16 on it.

Jesus, where are you going to spend $HK125 on a movie ticket?

2 tickets. If you go IFC Palace at Admiralty is $75 + $6 for online reserve.
My favorite place to watch movie in Hong Kong is in Olympic City.
But yeah just to conclude, nothing remotely close to Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, Hero, House of flying daggers all those pseudo kung-fu films.
