Audience Member another love triangle pic Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Awesome action and a hugely impressive scale, set in feudal China with a variety of scenic locations. The story is weak but it manages to present itself in a way that you aren't let down by it; you were expecting it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member It was kind of boring and slow and appears to be a typical historical movie, but it got better and quite interesting. A very entertained movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review ma'ark t Although there are some well choreographed fight scenes the story was underwhelming. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A chick flick action movie. I found myself spacing out a few times. This movie isn't even trying to be good. It's a popcorn commercial style film starring movie stars. Way too much overblown music (almost all the time, making this an overgrown music video - almost universally a bad idea). There's also not much of a script here. But the sets look very nice. If you watch with the sound off, you might be under the impression that it's an awesome movie. It's not. Everything is derivative of better films. But the young, especially chicks, will be into the movie, so I will be generous and give it a 3.5 out of 5. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member so,so,but Donnie yen's karate is so damn good in fighting . outnumber 1:1000 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
