Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

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.

Chris Kay The Wrath of Vajra wasn't shockingly bad. It was everything I expected after seeing stills from the movie along with a description on Netflix.The premise is simple. There's a group of bad guys, and a good guy is trying to beat the head bad guy to save some abducted children. He needs to fight the best of the best and work his way up to the boss.The story is super simple and very dumb. The execution of this ridiculous premise is solid. No plot holes and the movie does its very best to make the best of it.Of course, this is a martial arts movies and the fights will make or break the film. In my opinion, the fighting was a mixed bag. The last two fights were really original and well done. One of them included a super skinny pale guy who basically slithered around like a snake, and climbed on top of stuff. The other one includes some very nice slow motion shots of the rain. Really impressive stuff. The rest of the fighting was kind of generic. Nothing bad, just nothing exceptional either.Unfortunately, I do not speak Japanese so I can not judge the acting. The subtitles aren't enough for me to judge the line-delivery. VERDICT:If you love fighting movies, I suggest you check this movie out for the little of which it has to offer.If you haven't watched many fighting movies, I CANNOT recommend this film. Check out Ip Man, it's a way better option.This film get's a 6/10.

FryHigh "... unknowing martial artists are summoned to a mysterious island to compete in a tournament whose outcome will decide the fate of the world."That was the plot for Mortal Combat. It worked there because you had some fun characters.Doesn't work as well here when you don't have Raiden or Sub-Zero. Which is too bad, it would have certainly made this film more bearable. Perhaps it was because I watched with both subs and dubs, but I found pretty much everything retarded... except for the fight scenes.If you like Kung-Fu movies, it's worth a watch for the fight scenes, the movie is fun... just a bad Mortal Combat remake...

mjelcajonster This movie is bad ass! This is a classic Kung Fu style cinema with a modern day MMA influence. The subject matter is religious based (dogma,indoctrination) and coincides with the persecution of the Buddhist monks in China. It also incorporates the invasion of the Japanese in China. It may be a touchy subject for some but I took it for what it is...a fighting movie. There were your usual cheesy scenes that you would find in any Kung Fu movie but it wasn't too bothersome. The movie had a great musical score and the over dubs were not bad at all, except for the annoying kids. I highly recommend this movie if you're a fight fan or enthusiast. 7/10

blackmamba99971 Vajra, simply a title to one who has no defeat. This was a good film of action, despair, and the truth. In the life of one man who stood against all odds of Hades Shi,(Yu Xing) must fight against an opponent who is his equal. In the shrine of Hades children are taken away, and then sold as would be warriors to the shrine in order for them to spread the word of evil. Shi however does not see it that way after he killed his own brother with his own hand to prove to the shrine that he is a ready acolyte. Yet in his turmoil, left the shrine with a heavy conscience and became a disciple in a Shaolin temple. Years later he comes back to the shrine to stop his rival, and free the new batch of children taken away from their homes. In the middle is Eko (Yamei Zhang) who is a photo journalist in order for her to spread the truth about the shrine of it being a non-malignant entity. But to her seeing all of the killing within the ranks causes her to stop believing in lies, and become someone who must speak the real truth.It is a great action film set only in a shrine. Yet the different locations within this estate were always different, so it kept you wondering what's behind door number one or number two. The music was top notch, plus the actors themselves are always just as passionate when they deliver their lines. I particularly like Hiroyuki Ikeuchi who plays a bit part of a Hades acolyte. Even as small a part as his, he delivered brilliantly. Always a big fan of him since Ipman when he played the deranged Japanese general.For those who like martial arts at their best, this is it. Although not a fully hammered story, which simply means that this was an example of the classic Ying/Yang theory. Good versus evil, and the like. What it really amounts to is choice. To choose your own path to follow rather than blindly following a tyrant, and sink into despair soon after. Ultimately The Wrath Of Vajra is a great hero worship film, where the real heroes come out on top in victory. Recommended for those over fourteen.
