Like
MMA fighting, could be one of the best, thumb up
Nick Cheung, I believe I do not need to elaborate more
Crystal Lee (an up-rising very young Malaysian artist), supporting local artist
I personally felt that the movie did a great job promoting Macau by displaying the best of Macau and Macau's slums that I believe most tourist would not notice.

Not like
No major dislike but wish that Nick Cheung MMA fight could be more and longer

My thought
Although the movie is 90% focusing on MMA but the movie is not about MMA fight and winning but rather more about how MMA had change a person or a family and what are the fighters trying to archive in and outside the MMA cage beside winning the fight. The story of the young and old fighter is well plotted and I believe people can really feel the struggle and the sweat of the fighter. The movie has a balance of action and drama and the ending is just so touching, so ladies please bring tissue or your partner shoulder

I added the salt and MSG and the soup taste better. Please note this is not a healthy way of eating soup. Don't try it too often :D The ingredient inside the soup, beef and corn. Simple but filling and I can understand why the soup i...

They meet new friends at the circus and enemy, the Paris animal control, and has been travel across France, Rome, London and and return back to the big apple, New York City, Central Park Zoo. Again, the movie bring us a lot of laughter and joy. Marty will always so some silly thing, Alex will always save the day will some silly move, and Gloria and Melman will always silly and in love. I love this movie because beside the fun and joy the movie bring, the movie will always carry a positive message of true friendship and family value. I think I like this sequel the most and really touch by the scene when the they return to Central Park Zoo, a place where they called home and realizing they don't fell they are at "home". They suddenly felt that they don't belong to the zoo, they really belong to the their new family at the circus. The circus is the place where...
