Double Dragon takes place in Los Angeles in 2007! I can't believe the movie took place sixteen years ago! I should have watch the movie back then. You win some! You lose some for sure as always and forever!
Amazing how things have gone. Gene says in this that you can't really expect a good storyline if the film is based on a video game, and perhaps at that time he was right! Fast forward to 2022 and what do we see? The movie industry still loves telling great stories, but not at the expense of those all important dollar bills. "Can we make a few nonsensical twists here and there and make it more appetising to our Chinese audience? Then do it!" Meanwhile, you could throw a pebble in a video game store and you'll probably hit something with ten times more love and care put into it.
Some of my favorite movies as a kid I now recognize as poorly structured and shallow… but i still had a great time watching them. Critics are wise to remember that most kids prefer pizza to filet mignon.
@@KorganoCritics have to have a higher standard than that. It’s simply insulting the intelligences of young people to grade things on a curve for them.
