The Promise(2005) Wu Ji


I promise not to use -**insert nickname for suggestive fantasy weapon**- on you and not to -**insert action**- your ass!

Another big inside joke of mine. Although I usually admire ancient Eastern stories and the movies that portray them, The Promise was just too whacky for me to empathize with. What went wrong? Simple. The costume designers went totally out of control and all the characters looked like idiots.

The newlyweds all dressed up for....something.

I mocked this movie as nothing more than some footage from Silkroad Online, featuring a bunch of nubs fighting over armor with high buffs. The name of that legendary equipment? The "Crimson Armor", which includes some garment class robes and a big dumbass helmet.

A lvl 70 mage in armor class garbs fighting alongside some ninja glaivers. Notice his +7 thumbs-up scepter, very powerful.

The acting was amature, the CG looked fake, and the story was total nonsense. Everything was so bad that I cracked up throughout the entirety of the movie. Oh, and I guess it didn't help that the version of the movie I got was some kinda British dub with dull England accents.

If you want to see characters dressed in stupid crap that get PK'ed, go watch hack.sign instead.

How can you expect any acting quality when the entire movie was filmed with bots?
