The Raid 2 BERANDAL, when is it showing in Sgp, it got banned in Malaysia! So when?

[drift]

Seriously i've been waiting for the theater release of this movie for such a long time! It got banned in Malaysia and Singapore movie goers don't even know about it cos everyone watches CGI hollywoody(computer gamey) looking movies instead of real action and drama where the actors really get hit and goes to hospital trying to make the movie. The Raid 2 is a cross between "City of Gods" and "The Departed" but with much realistic gore in the fight scenes. Even Hollywood has not made such a movie in decades man.

 

The raid 1 is rated: 7.6 on IMDB ->http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1899353/?ref_=nv_sr_3

and raid 2: Berandal is rated 8.8 on the International Movie database polls -> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2265171/?ref_=nv_sr_1

 

Well anyway here's an excerpt from Raid 1: Redemption ->[video=youtube;uI-V0rrlZBo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI-V0rrlZBo

 

Here's the trailer for Raid 2: Berandal ->

 

Just for fun here's the deleted gang war scene that the director decided not to use in the movie:

 

Such a miss if it doesn't get shown in Singapore.

Critical reception

 

The Raid 2 has received positive reviews. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a 81% approval rating, with an average score of 7.4/10, based on reviews from 145 critics. The site's consensus states: "Although its high-energy plot and over-the-top violence may play better with genre aficionados, The Raid 2 definitely delivers more of everything audiences loved about its predecessor".[46] The film has a score of 71/100 on Metacritic, indicating "generally favorable reviews", based on 33 critics.[47]

 

Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly said, "The Raid 2 will make you feel like Christmas came nine months early. Some action sequels don't know when to say when. But here's one where too much is just the right amount."[48]

 

David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter gave a positive review of the film, remarking, "Evans gives the audience a knowing wink by having Rama endure repeated batterings that would leave mere mortals in traction, not to mention some nasty blade wounds. Yet he keeps coming back, finding the stamina to snap more limbs and crush more skulls. Taking place inside moving vehicles, a subway car, a noodle bar, warehouses, a porn factory, tight corridors and in the most electrifying mano-a-mano clash, a gleaming nightclub kitchen and wine cellar, the fights are dynamite."[49]

 

Rolling Stone journalist Peter Travers, wrote: "The Raid 2 lets its warriors rip for two and a half thrilling hours. With the precision of dance and the punch of a K.O. champion, Evans keeps the action coming like nobody's business."[50]

 

Many have praised the film for maintaining the action sequences that made the first film so great, as well as improving upon the plot and the dialogue which its predecessor was criticized for.

 

Amber Wilkinson of The Daily Telegraph commented, "Hyper-violent it may be but there is beauty in its brutality" and wrote, "A martial arts movie brings something fresh in terms of choreography may sound like fighting talk, but Gareth Evans's sequel to his 2011 film is endlessly inventive."[51]

 

Matt Risley of Total Film gave the film five stars called it a "sumptuously shot, perfectly paced and flat-out exhilarating, The Raid 2 cements Evans as the best action director working today and may not be the best action, gangster, or even martial-arts movie ever made. But as a combination of all three, it's unparalleled in recent memory and offers a tantalising glimpse into a post-Bayhem action-movie world. Brutal, beautiful and brilliant" and also wrote, "The sheer imagination on show, both in the cinematography and choreography, guarantees each brawl is instantly iconic. Immaculately edited, each traumatic, tensely tactile fight would blur into chaos if not for Evans's pinpoint pacing something that refreshes all the more in the face of modern blockbusting's tendency to start big and just keep getting bigger, until burnout."[52]
