Hit 'em hard

No pun intended - Space Jam has got nothing on Don Lee ... or rather the character Ma he is portraying once again. And at least another time next year ... the yearly event. Someone told me the character name lends itself to make this his own "MCU" ... which he also was a part in (Eternals) - even if not many have seen that movie.

But back to part 3 of the Roundup movies (international title) ... Don Lee channeling Bud Spencer once again - maybe a bit less comedy in the fight scenes, though they were always quite painful. And another interrogation scene that is just ... amazing! Let's clean up ... you can see how this was only a lead up to another movie. At the end it even tells us, that they will be back! Something that the other movies did not really do - they seemed to be standalone. The stories were done - this ... well let's just say you could say it has loose ends.

You may also get ... I dare to say bored with the superhuman punches (I don't even think his MCU character had such power in his fists) ... but only if you do not appreciate the great way it is shot! You can feel every punch .. full power! Sound wise but also visually! Don Lee - introduced again with his back to the camera .. but we get to see his face way faster than in the previous movies.

What I did miss a little bit: the other movies had a few more character beats ... the dry humor (not for the sensitive people amongst us) hits its target with the same precision Ma (Don Lee) does ... looking forward to next year!
