Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

It is a performances centric movie

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

This movie that exceeded my expectations. Not only did it have better action than your average martial arts movie, but it also had a good story with great drama.It was a mix between exciting and exceptionally-executed action and emotionally resonant yet really sad drama. The action scenes were shot and done well, even with a budget of only about 4M USD. The drama was surprising for a martial arts movie. While not that complicated, it managed to be really sad and interesting in the way that it made you feel for the characters.When compared to all those other martial arts movies out there, it's hard to believe this didn't become a worldwide sensation.Don't miss this movie. The action is great. The drama is better than even your average drama movie.+ Great action+ Drama is sad and engaging+ Better story than most martial arts moviesUnrealisticScript could be a little betterScore: 10. Great action and great drama.

Pretty much run of the mill martial arts movie from Thailand. I didn't go crazy over it like some people, but I didn't find it as bad as some either. A lukewarm 5/10 for this guy. The picture quality, editing, and script could use a LOT of work like most films from this location. The fighting scenes were fairly top-notch, though. If you watch movies like this for the story, as much as the action do not waste your time. If you watch simply for the fight scenes and nothing more, give it a shot. The acting chops of the lead girl are probably the best of the whole film. All sub-characters seem so annoying that I wish the story line hadn't existed at all. I will not be buying this on DVD. One view is more than enough for me.

I love the movie, but don't know why the makers decided to name it Chocolate, my favorite food. The casting was excellent for the film and the their screen play perfectly fitting.I have seen this movie more than once and found that the story and read-between the line meanings to make more sense on the second viewing. The picture is breath-taking and the artistic perspectives unique even within it's Genre. Lasting entertainment and one of my all time favorites! I will be watching this again soon.Also for chocolate lovers: HTTP://www.chocolate-app.com

There is so much politically wrong with the premise of this film, a young autistic girl picks up kungfu moves by watching martial arts films and then goes on a rampage against those who owe her mother (who is dying of cancer) money, especially toward the end when she takes on a mentally and physically impaired boy with equal fighting skills. Yet, everything is right about this action packed slug fest too. I don't know what more one can expect from the genre. We aren't handed just a few short fight scenes among a bunch of talk (but of course, I saw the 90 minute version, not the 110 minute version), but, instead, we are delighted to enjoy one outrageous fight scene after another, from the ice factory to the meat packing factory, as our young teenage hero turns out to be a real kungfu terminator relentlessly continuing after her prey no matter the odds. It's funny but it's not played for laughs. Chocolate (I guess it's named that because our hero likes to eat M&Ms) is simply a perfect kungfu film. It makes no excuses for its excessive violence and it even brags about what it's done at the end with some outtakes demonstrating how the stuntmen actually got injured during the filming. I like films that don't believe they can't do what they want to do. Horror films these days are afraid to be horrific. Kunfu films are afraid to kick ass. But not since the original Ong Bak has there been an addition to the genre this exciting. Ten stars for sure.
