Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

kosmasp The action choreography is pretty good. Not get out of here fantastic or exceptional or whatever, but it is more than solid. And I wanted to start with this, because when the movie starts (and you haven't read what it is about), you could be excused by thinking this is a documentary. It might have worked better as one actually.But it isn't, it is a fictional story with actors who have issues with their lines and acting in general at times. Our main hero is good at what he does action wise, but when it comes to delivering lines, you might feel weird watching this happen ... If you skip to the action scenes, you'll be good and they are the only reason I rated this that "high" ...

thejim223 I won't mince words. This movie is bad. Bad writing, bad acting, sappy music and editing that gave me a migraine headache. But, I think the acting wouldn't have been that bad, if they had lines to deliver. A half decent script writer would have been worth his/her pay. The lead, while wooden is likable. He is clearly skilled in kung fu. But again, so many times he looks like he's asking for a line to deliver. The editing could have been done better by a 14 yr old with a macbook. It is seriously bad. Then there's the flashbacks, yikes. This is film making 101. Use flashbacks sparingly, or never. In one of the last flashbacks, we see Li kicked out of the monastery. Maybe I should have had subtitles, because there seemed to be no explanation for his removal. This and all the other flashbacks added literally nothing to the story. They were just 20 minutes of filler. So, there it is. Its not the worst movie I've ever seen. If you like kung fu and like to see the good guy kick the crap out of the bad guys, and you can tune out all non-fight scenes, then by all means, add this to your collection.

icameron-723-431890 I've seen a lot of decent Kung-fu movies, however this is not one of them. If you are expecting a Jackie Chan kind of martial arts comedy, then this is not for you (even though they do have the outtakes at the end of the film). Where Jackie Chan films are generally quite humorous, the only humor in this film comes from how bad the acting is. The fight scenes are not bad, but the horrific acting cancels them out, such that you end up at the end of the film wishing you had spent the time doing something else. The main actress is quite cute, however the storyline is so far fetched as to be comical. Seriously, do not waste your time with this flick and watch a Jackie Chan movie instead. You'll be glad you did.

jmigoya trust me when i say this movie with a big budget and better writers would be absolutely friggin awesome because the plot is simple enough, so for what it is and the budget it had which im sure was very small, it does wonders, the acting is terrible at times, the fighting was incredible the main actor which im sure is a shaolin monk or was picture perfect some minor use of wires maybe to acentuate the power of the strikes but other than that pure kung fu, so i cant give this movie a bad review because im a die hard kung fu fan and i don't go to see this type of movie for the acting, i give it 8/10 want to see more of the leading character, reminds me of some of jet li's earlier shaolin movies
