TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE-- NORTH BRIDGE ROAD

My Personal Experience: I went to North Bridge Road in Singapore probably last August 2022, together with my sister, as we rode number bus going to home I took selfies and outside! North Bridge Road is one of the major roads here spanning huge length in distance and paths broad and wide for pedestrian crossing the road, the pop of color on cars and walls nice sights!

North Bridge Road

North Bridge Road (Chinese: 桥北路) is a one-way road in Singapore, running north of the Singapore River. It starts at the junction with Crawford Street in Kallang, on the western bank of the Rochor River, and continues in a southwest direction before ending at Elgin Bridge. The stretch south of the Singapore River after Elgin Bridge is called South Bridge Road. En route, North Bridge Road travels through planning areas of Kallang, Rochor, and the Downtown Core!

My Movie Review: The movie is a fistful of guacamole you eat when it's fresh but having hard time finishing it with a mashed of punches that counterflow didn't delver the impact it supposed to hit leaving you with all the crumbs and juice to dip' you settle to spread the action till the end! Fistful of Vengeance is a hit and miss have a kick-ass start that's nice to see with fancy lights it felt elevated then the somewhat refuge camp felt homey and some of the fight scenes were promising and to some extent were extreme but the fight to save the world is not felt seems it has lesser scope than what it promise that's why a bit dissapointing the cast were amazing and a lot capable of producing more engaging and worth seeing actioner if the storyline have more depth towards the last parts could have great follow up to bad it didn't unleash its full potential:( It has fleeting moments where things come together but is often a dramatic waste of the talents involved weak film that's rushed, chaotic and full of clunky exposition, bad one liners and poor visual effects on some parts that should have been better making the latter part forgetable one! Primary villain is Ku An Qi, Dr. Pan's twin sister, holder of the second amulet half, and queen of the Bangkok underworld who's formidable opponent against the Wu Assassins, sending wave after wave of assailants against the Wu team until the Interpol agency is forced to intervene too bad don't remember how they defeat her and that says a lot, all of a sudden their on the beach!

Critics Reviews: A movie in duration only; its pretty slapdash in terms of its execution, even during its glossy-looking action set pieces. Fun action packed, short run time, wonky cgi, some plot holes but great set designs, cool gadgets and lots of ass kicking. If you prefer your action movies sexy, rather than brutal, look no further, “Fistful of Vengeance” is definitely the film for you. Wu Assassins: Fistful of Vengeance could've and should've spent more time on creating a more coherent story with original characters and little less time on the fight choreography. With a more engaging story that did more than settle for merely being average, Fistful of Vengeance could have been a real contender instead of being a passable and forgettable distraction. It’s the kind of thing that plays well as an evening’s diversion on Netflix, but doesn’t ever rise above the level of “just another good mid-tier actioner." You can tell that the plot and the character arcs weren't the focus here, and that's fine until it starts raising more questions than youd like about who's who and what's what. But Fistful of Vengeance is undeniably generous in its action. An action packed and exciting movie with great fight choreography. The exposition laden adventure segments can be a slog to get though, but then the next brawl comes up and will suck audiences right back in. There's still a lot of mileage in the continuing saga of the Wu Assassins, but Fistful of Vengeance is unfortunately something of a rough patch but for keeps:)

Plot: In a quiet residential area, four domestic robots suddenly decide to take their masters hostage in their home. Locked together, a not-quite-so-blended family, an intrusive neighbor and her enterprising sex-robot are now forced to put up with each other in an increasingly hysterical atmosphere! While, outside, the Yonyx, the latest generation of androids, are trying to take over. As the threat draws closer, the humans look elsewhere, get jealous, and rip into each other under the bewildered eyes of their indoor robots. Maybe it's the robots who've got own soul -- or not!

My Movie Review: The movie is a satire that can quite be polarizing either you like or not, I'm leaning more on the like side despite its oddball presentation there's something genius about it! Bigbug is one of the most quirky yet highly enjoyable if not slightly creepy movies I've watched in with great effects and a unique story bit of sci-fi, robot mutiny, and eclectic storytelling! Fantastic performances by the cast and a great soundtrack that's been well scored, I like their creepy Yonx androids as they were super evil and very scary not everyone will enjoy the fun! This was cool to me it's a French movie so I watched it with subtitles as the performances are better but there is an English dub that actually changes the way it feels especially the androids! Almost like watching a tweaked version of the original as it feels way more menacing I highly recommend it if you like unique movies, French is the way to go though there's something rare! Bigbug is ultimately a very smart, singular piece of film-making, a sparkling comedy that lifts the spirits and dazzles the eyes as written by Jeunet and Guillaume Laurant, Bigbug filmed on a single stage set, delivers artificial-intelligence suspense with doomy vibe' just like Cassandra! It's a hugely clever and engaging film that defies expectations with a sly warmth that sneaks up on you it's smart enough to temper comedy in a tense robot uprising exposes humanity's flaws!

 

Critics Consensus: Jeunet fans will find the whimsy they seek within BigBug, although it isn't enough to make this mishmash more than intermittently engaging. It is part dystopian drama, part comedy farce. Full of child-like imagination but surprisingly horny... And yet, Jeunet must have performed some form of alchemy because all of these elements work well together. No one grows. No one changes. Bigbug is a French sci-fi comedy from the director of beloved movies, and the propensity for Rube Goldberg devices and absurdity play to the strengths of a story about technology run amok. Netflix’s oddball film Bigbug is bonkers, for better or worse! Probably worse. Big Bug is a total disaster: conceptually, cinematically, and narratively. Went on for too long with the same nonsense and bug me by becoming increasing unfunny! "Bigbug" yearns to be so strange with every grotesque high-angle close-up, every wacky development, and it certainly achieves that thick air of strangeness. Here, Jeunet’s bright colors and prankish manipulation of space makes a suburban home and its lookalike environs an appropriate carnival atmosphere. Big Bug turns a spiritual and political pandemic into a three-dimensional funhouse mirror. Wacky! What is what it is. I would say this isn't masterpiece' but very amusing!
