Mr & Mrs Incredible (神奇侠侣) Review

When I first seen the promotional movie trailer of Mr & Mrs Incredible (神奇侠侣) at the cinemas I was quite sure I'm not spending a good SGD10 per pax to watch it in the silver screen.
























Last Saturday, I actually mistakenly booked using my iPhone the movie tickets (with top positioned seats) thinking that it was "It's a Great Great World" which I heard so many raving compliments. I was praying hard that it will not be one of those "cannot make over the top stupid slap-sticks" or a disaster movie...

To my pleasant surprise, Mr & Mrs Incredible (2001) starring hunk Louis Koo (古天乐) & comedian Sandra Ng (吴君如) directed by Vincent Kok was not too bad an action comedy.

Kok cleverly uses spoofs of familiar comic characters  like DC's Batman & Disney's The Incredibles in the movie 神奇侠侣 (based in Ancient China) to depicts many common contemporary issues like infertility, properties investment, economy boosters, etc. So there's more depth than the spoof humour...

The show started with the retired superheroes duo The Gazer Warrior (Louis Koo) & The Aroma Woman (Sandra Ng) living a mundane life with their glorious heroic past behind them as simple country folks in a small & remote town. Pretty much like Disney's The Incredibles where the ex-superheroes couple secretly wish there's a little more excitement beyond their boring but peaceful jobs...

Things was about to change when they were informed that a major martial art event is to be held at their town...

4 out of 5 popcorn rating for entertainment

Feel free to share your take of the movie ; )
