Interesteg What makes it different from others?

CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

portkill How do I begin? I was having an off day when I saw this film, thats for truth. There was movement on the screen that swam into my heart.I only wish I could have a blind man teach me of passion and lack of passion and lack of lack of passion. If this film was a sand dune constructed underneath the Taj Mahal (SUPER BUDDHIST!) and there were 4 days left before the yin yang army came to take away my soul (SCARY!) this film would help. Seriously.When the lady on the boat brought the child of prophecy to blind man I got happy. Real Happy. If this cinematography was transformed into a religious document it would devoutly take a dump on the Upanishads.Soul Life Nothingness Forever Whence Verily TRUTH

Bill-2274 I encourage you to see this movie but not for the reasons you think. Although this movie was probably meant to be serious, it's really one of the funniest movies my family and I have seen. That's because it was so poorly made. I'm sorry to those involved in making the movie if I'm hurting your feelings but this film looks like a high school project. The acting, the script, the sets are so corny it's hard to believe this film was taken seriously. I think the funniest thing is the guy wearing sunglasses in a time period meant to be hundreds of years ago. After we watched this movie on DVD we were cracking up so much wondering how this film actually got distributed. Then, the icing on the cake was that they had special features... interviews on how the movie was made...etc. I know this review sounds mean but I couldn't resist. Just the same,I hope all involved in the film have gone on to better things...but this film is really bad. For those that haven't seen it, I encourage you to watch it so that you'll have a frame of reference for a really bad movie.

gradyharp Anytime the urge rises to be entertained with an escapist film the top of the list becomes one of the Asian martial arts films, films of stunning beauty, breathtaking choreography, handsome actors, and enough legend to make the storyline fascinating, e.g. 'The House of Flying Daggers'. This pathetic film is packaged like those wonder movies and so deludes the public into thinking it is in an equal category. Not even close! A child is born to a couple informed that their progeny will be a male warrior who has the secrets to read the codebook that contains the key to the power of the universe. The pregnant mother is stabbed by the evil adversaries but the baby lives, 'disappointingly' a girl! The girl Seki is transported via a leaf boat to a blind wise magician who cares for her and teaches her Taiji and Kung Fu, raising her to return to the world and discover life along with her gifts. A family who wants to maintain dominion over China sends two sons (one evil and the other kind) to capture the girl and steal the code to the sacred book. The evil son is accompanied by warriors: the kind son is accompanied by Caucasian Marx brothers. The rest of the story is too simple-minded to discuss.There are so many errors of judgment in the making of this film, not the least of which is a nebulous and silly script, that disrupt what might have been an honest attempt for Hollywood to make a martial arts film. But the acting is poor, combining Asian actors with non-Asian actors makes both look ridiculous, the special effects are clumsy, and the mood of ancient China is completely destroyed by the computer generated graphics superimposed on the real location of Griffith Park in Los Angeles! The three stooges added to the good warrior's team are so silly that they pass funny into absurd. There is no ending to the movie: instead it feels like the producers just ran out of money. A must miss.

wasbeermeneer That was beyond doubt the worst movie I ever saw. I just continued watching it to see how they would beat the big bad guy and retrieve that magic book, only to find out: There isn't even a real ending.Don't watch this unless you like watching very, very, very , very bad moviesThe acting is bad, the costumes are hilarious, the plot makes absolutely no sense. For example: whats the whole deal with the pirates. Why are they even in the movie? They probably needed some more people to die. The only good character was the guy who's always asleep and only wakes up when something important happens.
