Finally, 27 years after unleashing Jean-Claude Van Damme on the world, Kickboxer, the martial arts franchise that refuses to die, is boldly rebooted with the supremely silly Kickboxer: Vengeance.

This lean, unpretentious entertainment delivers everything one might want from a film titled Kickboxer: Vengeance - including, at the last, an homage to the younger Van Damme's disco-dancing prowess.

"Kickboxer: Vengeance" isn't going to raise anyone's SAT score, but it's passable in the realms of kickboxing cinema and will hold your attention during late-night cable viewing.

3.5/5

Van Damme and Bautista are certainly the main reasons to watch Kickboxer: Vengeance, and help make it an enjoyable piece of old fashioned martial arts fun

This reboot takes itself far too seriously, and ends up being more of a dour experience, lacking in anything all that fun or memorable.

Maybe in the next one, we can cut out the middle man and watch Van Damme's Durand train someone with more personality than a cup of tapioca.

I really enjoyed this film, most films are too violent and too many gunfights this. I liked less guns nice characters and lovely setting Thailand. I liked this film though the acting wasn't great.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom.

There's no way to start. This film, despite having a good production team and good filming of the locations, lacks any of the essence and love of its 1989 predecessor. Completely terrible performances. Very flat and meaningless characters. A very poorly executed story. Van Damme, now taking on the role of Master Xian, leaves much to be desired. He is a character completely devoid of personality, like the rest. Kurt's relationship with his beloved is horrible; they resort to the classic scene where they make love, when in the original that wasn't necessary. It was simpler and more beautiful. The entire film is very boring in the sense that there is no good execution in the production behind it. And for this reason, the film unfortunately remains at 0 stars for the first time in my life. 👎💔😔

Whole movie should have been left on the cutying room floor. Original was far better.

I thought the movie was good overall as it was great to finally see the original characters from this series with Eric Sloane & Tong Po carried on and even had Jean-Claude play a part in this. Also great to see Tong Po's character played by big Dave Bautista who was quite the villain in this one.
