Konterr Brilliant and touching

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The_Film_Cricket I have a particular love for imaginative fantasy worlds. The forest world of Tao in 'Warriors of Virtue' might look right at home in 'Star Wars'. Unfortunately it is one of those movies that gives us an imaginative world, wondrous creatures and can't find anything of interest to happen there.Almost every plot development in the movie is from a million other fantasy movies. The movie begins with a kid named Ryan who falls through a whirlpool an into that fantasy world that with no stretch of the imagination we can guess is locked in bitter turmoil.All the lifesprings of Tao are drying up because of a villain named Komodo (Angus McFadden who played Richard the Bruce in 'Braveheart'). He is threatened by the Roo warriors, a race of five kangaroo-like creatures who represent the elements of earth, fire, metal, wood and water and plans to do away with them. The Roos look interesting but they don't have any distinctive personalities beyond their elemental labels.The movie does a good job of setting up the look of a fantasy world but it is just so ordinary. We get magical books, and a ruthless sorcerer, a princess, a wise old man, the odd warrior creatures, ancient philosophies and the lone character that is the salvation to the whole world – ho-hum. Why can they never solve their own problems without bringing in an outsider? 'Warriors of Virtue' seems to be positioning itself to capture the same audience as the 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' and the 'Power Rangers'. I found this movie slightly better then either but I wish that it had aimed a little higher to come up with something truly original then trying to stoop down to match those.

rob-2313 Alright, I admit going in that I was predisposed to dislike this movie. I have studied Taoism for many years, and I guess I don't take kindly to it being reduced down to a 90 minute family friendly event. Although it came highly recommended to me, I was put off by it's kid friendly approach to something as complex as Eastern Philosophy.Through out the film, I could not shake the vision I had of a Roos vs Turtles sequel.Although not as bad as I feared, this film looks for all the world like it was edited by a Cuisinart. The over extended climatic fight scene had so many different editing styles present that it nearly gave me an epileptic fit. Either that, or my digital TV is on the blink.I really cannot recommend this film to anybody except possible a few hard core gamers who would get off on the cartoon-like action sequences.

Jiggyray This movie is the cheesiest, most horrid movie ever made. Being a fan of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movies, I wanted to see this blatant rip-off as a kid but luckily didn't. That was until today, when I saw this lemon. The lead child Ryan Jeffers (Mario Yedidia) is the worst and most annoying child actor since David Mendenhall in "Over the Top". His fake crying is Oscar-worthy....not! The villain is just annoying. He looked like a gay-gothic Prince on speed. The whole movie looks like it was filmed in an abandoned warehouse with a truckload of leaves and tree stumps hauled in and thrown all-over. Add this all with the most annoying filming technique of a choppy-slow-motion that is guaranteed to make you want to puke like you were seasick after watching. Even the people who sing the songs at the closing credits make Michael Bolton sound like a soul legend. Eghad, this movie is like fingernails on the chalkboard! Avoid at all costs! The only good of this movie is the cheesy line that the black friend says "make like Tom and Cruise"! I plan to use this line on a daily basis for the next two months!

La Gremlin Alright, let's get the joke out of the way first of all:"Crouching Glam Guy, Hidden Wallaby", anyone?Seriously, I rented this movie expecting your typical late-80's fantasy with cheesey dialogue and bad special effects and annoying child actors. Well, to that end I got my money's worth. However, while this is nowhere nearly as good as, say, "the Neverending Story" or "Labyrinth", it's not nearly as bad as I expected.Curiously, this is one of the few movies I've seen that might have been a *lot* better animated. Kung-fu kangaroos isn't exactly a concept best realized in live action. However, the crappy effects belie the clever premis. Give it a look.
