My Review:
I must be getting senile because while doing all these K-movie reviews I have to revisit the films I kept a copy of and re-watched them. Keeping a copy of a film in my hard drive means I like the movie. However, as I re-watched some of the films I supposedly liked or even probably loved before I found myself after re-watching these films wondering what the heck is wrong with me. Some of the films even for entertainment sake doesn’t even interest me now and find the film kinda shallow and stupid. Unfortunately, Finding Mr. Destiny, is one of those films I am so amazed that I did like before. Maybe because of my age now? I’m not too much on the technical side of film making when I do reviews, I just have to simply like it, entertain me and have some logic in it to make it worthwhile for me to waste my time. This film just don’t have anything in those category. I maybe being harsh but I just ended up stopping the film half-way and went through the ending because my time is getting wasted and the same way in my doing this review.
Would I recommend this K-Movie? Nah. But, you can watch it if you are still young not expecting too much on a film.
