Shaolin 2011

It has been ages since I last stepped in a cineplex... wonder when that was...

So imagine my shock when I went to buy tickets to watch Shaolin 2011 last Sunday.... one ticket cost a Whooping RM13.00!! Waahh... I thought it was RM9 the most...

When the girl at the counter told me that it was a total of RM39, I really thought of walking away.... for that amount of money, I can buy the Shaolin VCD to watch at home and have a real good meal for three persons...correct?

But I ended up buying anyway..

So much uproar about this movie...
Heard only positive comments so far..
OK, my own views: storyline is very simple
but the scenes/actors, they were really good, very real....
in fact, very "splendidly" produced and directed..
the 13 ringgit ticket was worth it... hahaha...

Anyone of you seen this movie yet?

    I haven't watch this show yet, but from the way you mention how it was worth your RM13, I'm getting interested!

    I have never been to a cinema or cineplex before. I have my own philosophy of movies: "By spending RM5, I can buy a DVD and enjoy the movie with the whole family. SO, why should I waste my $$$ in cineplex? cannot rewind, forward, pause, play again.....

    Hi Claire, I've never heard of that movie --but I'm not into many movies these days, even here in the USA... I do know that movies cost alot more than they used to....

    Glad you enjoyed it.

    Of course, I've never heard of this movie. I do read the movie reviews, but don't go to the theatre even once a year! It is cheaper and more comfortable for me to wait a bit and buy the DVD, watch it at home. I used to go quite a bit when much younger.

    I am not into Jackie Chan's movies anymore,,, Andy ok...i read about the review,i thought the story line is so so only,so i rather settle for a book for RM39..hahahahah.

    but then again, it was the time spent with the family in the cinema,then it is all worthwhile lol ,right?

    Wah Ipoh TGV also charging RM13?? The one in Sunway Pyramid is charging RM14! and I tot Ipoh should be much cheaper but it turned out to be almost the same. Really expensive! I'd rather watch GSC premier class like that :P
