Embarassingly Awful
14 Feb 2012
By Andrew Hernandez
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
This is the "in name only" sequel to The Twins Effect which is actually a fun romp with some great action scenes. This movie on the other hand is a complete mess.
The acting is awful. The script demands than everyone in the cast act like an idiot and make stupid faces. There's ridiculous scenes such as when a group of men grow breasts or when Donnie Yen (Who plays a character NAMED "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Why?) is struck with a love potion.
People may flock to this because Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen have a fight scene, but it's a waste. It is such a derivative copy of Donnie's fight with Jet Li in Hero, that it's face-palmingly stupid. Key scenes from that fight are copied shot for shot because the film makers couldn't be bothered to be more creative. The rest of it is choppily edited and shot too close.
There are much better Chinese films that deserve an unaltered US release like Wu Xia, Woman Knight of Mirror Lake, and the underrated Wind Blast. Releases like this one just continue to give the false impression that Asian films aren't worth the trouble of bringing to the US.

Highly Disappointing
17 April 2012
By J Tate
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
This is a movie that is having an identity crisis and just can't decide what it wants to be....a movie about Amazonian women, silly romantic teenagers, martial arts or some kind of weird fantasy. They threw everything in this but the kitchen sink and it shows, what a mess. I could barely watch it until the end. The plot is silly and the acting definitely sub par. The only good part in it was the fight scene between Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen but it's not worth watching just for that. I hope that having Daniel Wu play a eunuch in this strange movie will not cloud my love for his acting ability and sex appeal in every other movie I see him in from now on...that was just WRONG. What were you thinking accepting this role Daniel? Just an all around waste of a movie. Save your time and money and watch something else.

Blade of Kings

OMG this movie was horrible!!! I bought it based on the two great reviews and because I was a Donnie Yen fan. The plot was stupid and the characters were worst. I gladly gave away the movie. Don't waste your money, this is not an action flick.
