Alicia I love this movie so much

Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

brunolabate When you think that nothing else would surprise you, you watch Kickboxer: Vengeance and starts to review all your worst reviews. From animals clearly made of plastic, terrible "epileptic" camera on action scenes to direction worthy of zero stars, the movie is a complete tragedy. The original Kickboxer deserves 7-9 stars when compared to this reboot.

Leofwine_draca KICKBOXER: VENGEANCE is a remake of the Van Damme hit that now posits the ageing action star as mentor rather than pupil. The lead role is taken by the nondescript Alain Moussi, who fails to make much of an impression either in the acting or action stakes; imagine what Scott Adkins would have made of a role like this! In any case, this is a weaker film because it lacks the heart of the original; the Van Damme movie was a cheap and cheesy affair that nonetheless involved the viewer on an emotional level, whereas this film is glossier and shallower.What this film does boast are a series of efficient fight scenes with the action quotient ramped right up. There are extra characters and extra sub-plots throughout, with the Thai police involved and battles with masked goons in the streets. The fights aren't amazing but they do the job and remind one of the glory days of Tony Jaa in the likes of ONG BAK at times. Ironically, the big set-piece action with villain Dave Bautista is less engaging, although the final extended bout is good gruesome fun. Van Damme doesn't really seem bothered here in a laidback role, and Gina Carano has no fight scenes, which is criminal. Watch out for martial artist Darren Shahlavi in his last screen appearance before his sudden death.

dan_vez I usually don't complain about action movies that lack a decent plot, but Kickboxer had such a bad script and plot that I found it hard to enjoy this movie.There are just too many flaws and inconsistencies in the plot. Most of the plot elements did not add anything relevant to the story.I found the filming and image very enjoyable to watch. The fight scenes were descent, but nothing extraordinary. Some inconsistencies, but no more than I would expect from this kind of movies.A lot of useless annoying one liner are said throughout the movie and made the movie feel very amateur, despite the image quality.If you're looking for an easy watch, with some decent action, it could be watchable, but I would rather just skip directly to the fight scenes or watch some fights online, because the story is definitely not worth it.Overall, I would avoid wasting my time with this movie. Might have been more enjoyable on mute though.

matt_84 I sat down and watched this whole film and the only reason why I did is for Van Damme. Why does the movie industry insist on remakes. I guess for a quick buck and I guess they can film a movie on a camera mummy bought them for xmas. Was the original kickboxer movie cheesy... Yes of course but it offered originality. Im surprised I sat through the whole movie to be honest. And I see they are planning on making another one in 2017, OMG why f**king bother. All these young actors coming through to be the next van damme or Arnold etc. my word for you is to be original, if you just do remakes or try to be like Van Damme or Arnold you will get no where and be a nothing actor! So basically the plot of the movie is like the original but it seemed a lot longer and that was due to the long training montage that just kept going. So Eric gets killed in a fight with tong po happens in the first 15mins, the next 50mins is of Erics brother training to fight Tong Po with no other interesting fill in parts except for the sex scene which I guess keeps the young kids interested. and then he is finally ready to fight tong po to the death and wins of course (to the death).Acting was terrible and all I could think about is how much steroids was used to prepare for this film. it feels like action fighting movies are dead not what they once were!
