NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
bartleby56 I watched "Warriors Of Virtue" with my 9 year old son a few nights ago, and I can only say that this is easily one of the worst films of any kind I have seen in my 50 plus years of avid film consumption. I enjoy kids movies, martial arts movies, action/adventure movies, fish-out-of-water movies, and just about any genre of film that "Warriors Of Virtue" could possibly belong to. Hell, I like a lot of just plain bad movies, but this was just dreadful. It may have been Shakespeare or perhaps Benny Hill who observed that comparisons are odious, but I couldn't help noticing the similarities between "Warriors Of Virtue" and your average episode of "Power Rangers"(my kid, god bless him, was a big fan in the first grade).Half-baked and tone-deaf in conception, amateurish in execution, I can imagine simpletons the world over drew figurative lines in the sand in solidarity over their collective objection to the use of the word simplistic to describe this film. Half-wits would look at "Warriors Of Virtue" and wonder just where in hell the money went. It certainly wasn't spent on developing a narrative that makes any sense, three-dimensional characters, professional acting, staging, or direction. "Warriors" was pre-CGI, so I can accept that the special effects work was corny, but...kangaroos? Seriously? This movie is resolutely and resoundingly grind-your-teeth-into-nubbins stupid.
May_lo This film is one of those forgotten 90s rip-offs from the Ninja Turtle fall out. It's easy to forget how insane the turtle craze was but it is also easy to forget that the original TMNT movie was actually pretty decent. Most of it's sequels and copies were not.Which brings us to this little gem...It's a film so bad it's good. The fight scenes are sloe-mo with wind-blown leaves for no reason other than effect. The warriors of virtue are kangaroos with martial art skills, they personify the virtues eg patience....and it's fight to the death between good and evil. All told it's a great movie for kids that the adults can enjoy while pretending to be too old for it.
Jiggyray This movie is the cheesiest, most horrid movie ever made. Being a fan of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movies, I wanted to see this blatant rip-off as a kid but luckily didn't. That was until today, when I saw this lemon. The lead child Ryan Jeffers (Mario Yedidia) is the worst and most annoying child actor since David Mendenhall in "Over the Top". His fake crying is Oscar-worthy....not! The villain is just annoying. He looked like a gay-gothic Prince on speed. The whole movie looks like it was filmed in an abandoned warehouse with a truckload of leaves and tree stumps hauled in and thrown all-over. Add this all with the most annoying filming technique of a choppy-slow-motion that is guaranteed to make you want to puke like you were seasick after watching. Even the people who sing the songs at the closing credits make Michael Bolton sound like a soul legend. Eghad, this movie is like fingernails on the chalkboard! Avoid at all costs! The only good of this movie is the cheesy line that the black friend says "make like Tom and Cruise"! I plan to use this line on a daily basis for the next two months!
ecctv This movie was horrible! The story is that this kid falls into a whirlpool (which we now call the Giant Toilet) and ends up in "Kangaroo Land" pretty much. He has to help his "Kanga-friends" fight the evil master who sleeps in half a clam shell. I think I've blocked the ending out of my memory. The movie is full of bouncing kangaroo-people and an evil leader who's hair is way too long and the director takes advantage of that, making him spin around and showing it in slow motion. Its so dramatic!!! Ugh, if you have to choose between watching this movie, and watching Kazaam! watch Kazaam! (And Kazaam isn't such a good movie in itself, to say the least.)
