Jack Neo continues to bring up issues on Singaporean neglecting Mandarin and the society's perception towards students not performing well (or those already performing well but 'can do better'). Surprisingly, Jack finishes some issues on sex education with a promising sense of humour. However, I feel that some of those parts can be compacted , or shortened, to further expose the main theme of this movie. While the approach of communicating parents negligence towards their children with lack of sex education is undeniably innovative, too many issues (i.e. gangsterism, pick-pocketing etc) overall spoils the flavour of the ingredients. However, I would like to dedicate a bonus of 3 points to this movie as it truthfully tells how bored and 'lame' parents can be when 'educating' their children. Parents not becoming role models are indeed the major problem for child delinquency. Generation gap also cleverly dealt with in this movie. We look forward to your next movie, and in the meantime keep up the good work in reigniting the passion for Mandarin among Singaporeans.

A production that greatly resembles 'Hero', just that the added modern-ancient switch was decently amiable and nicely done. In my opinion 'The Myth' would suit the Asian and South-East Asian market more, since only Chinese (and Oriental Studies scholars) can understand this film thoroughly. People who knew nothing beyond pieces of puzzles formed from 'Hero' would think it's another lame Jackie Chan production. Below-par visuals, especially the floating grave yard scene (please hire someone from Hollywood if you're considering these 'ummph' types of scenes). Great music, however, weave together with the pleasant plot creates an extraordinary feeling never once found in 'Hero' or 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon'. Goofs spotted, even by non-professionals like me. A great step in melting Chinese, Indian and a little Korean culture into the whole movie. After all, the Whites have their dark ages and Chinese have their stance before as warriors and lords as in 'Lord of the Rings'. Congrads and my deepest salute to Koreans who learned Mandarin in this production.
