I was bored with this movie, I kid you not. My rating of "Casino Tycoon II" is a mere, and somewhat generous, three out of ten stars.

While this 1992 Hong Kong movie definitely had an impressive cast ensemble, with the likes of Andy Lau, Chingmy Yau and Shiu Hung Hui on the cast list, it just failed to be entertaining given the lousy and pointless storyline and script. And I actually can say that I have no intention of returning to watch the rest of "Casino Tycoon II". But a storyline that was just mundane and pointless, and virtually nothing overly interesting or particularly action-filled happened in that time, so I was bored senseless. I had been tempted to turn it off a couple of times before then, but stuck with it, because this was Andy Lau after all. Set in World War II, Casino Tycoon chronicles the story of Benny, a university student, on a difficultly-earned scholarship, who flees Hong-Kong during the Japanese invasion and heads for the gambling haven of Macau. Actually I managed to endure 1 hour and 4 minutes of the ordeal, then I simply had enough and got up to turn off the movie. This movei from writer and director Jing Wong was boring, so very, very boring. Well, apparently not everything that Andy Lau stars in turns to gold. But still, it was a Hong Kong movie and had Andy Lau in the lead, so of course I ended up sitting down to watch it. First of all, I don't think I've actually seen the first movie here, so I had no idea what to expect from the 1992 movie "Casino Tycoon II" (aka "Do sing daai hang II: Ji juen mo dik").
