The Resistance Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
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.
Sameeha Pugh It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
ederczek Allthough I look at movies from the 1990s and feel that period was the last story telling movies but now in 2010s there is alot of videogame movies with cool special effects but god awful story and and suddenly I find this movie with just so so CGI but awesome story and strong enthusiasm, wow this movie is 2011? Then there is.hope.The Resistance is about a young girl and her fight against the Japanese army in china 1940, at the same time there is an American journalist that escape Japanese prison to write a story of the Chinese Japanese war, the movie also follow the sad part of war and intense ninja fights and a nazi as it is world war II.I like this movie for its story and not much special effects.
joshien It feels like it's the last of its kind, a movie with great ambition and strong enthusiasm and with a story that grab the heart.The plot is about a girl who lost her family during Japanese occupation of China in the 1940s and now she seek revenge. Meanwhile a journalist from USA must escape the Japanese and join the Chinese Resistance to return to American. At the same time the Japanese general must show a German nazi that he has control over China but a mysterious black dress killer is giving him a hard time.Finally a movie that shows alot of ambition, last time I saw that was in titanic from 1997, then the world became obsessed with CGI and celebrities that know one knows why they are celebrities. Resistance gave us a new classic, I loved it a job well done China.
coolaziz-aziz OK first of all after I read all the hate reviews about The Resistance, and I have admit that I got irritated over what they complained about and I must say "what is the big fuzz about?" OK so The movie has cheap CGI and weak acting.....so what? Since when has CGI been a good thing even when it's expensive done? It was already old after 1999 so no need to be hard on this film just because they use CGI, and also I couldn't find any week actor or actress in this film, OK maybe some were but not the entire cast, there were some cast member who did a great performance and doesn't deserve the hate reviews just because some "popcorn break first eating blockbuster snobs" were expecting everybody to be Tom Hanks. And one more thing that got me irritated was most of the haters said they only watched 10 minute of the film.......really? Half of that is only opening credit and WWII intro, how on earth can someone say it's a bad film when they barely saw anything!And why I mention all this is because I love this film, it's not a masterpiece and it has a few weak moments but however the ninja action got me exited an the sad moments that happened during the Japanese occupation Is there too and got me emotional.The shot of the Japanese palace was beautifully done with gray-scaled colors and every fight scene is well choreographed, you can actually feel the punches like it's almost real fighting.if you really should avoid this film is if you have a heart expecting for a war film with typical bunkers and explosions.But if you like ninjas or martial art or history or any kind of foreign film specially from Asia then by all means give this movie a chance, I love this film and I'm glad I saw it.
johnnybegood-03546 Cool Ninja Movie but in the WWII time-line and beautiful location.The story: During Japan's invasion of China in 1937, a masked avenger systematically murders Japanese soldiers after horrible atrocities are committed against her family. A group of Chinese resistance members are gathering to rescue their leader from a Japanese prison camp.What I love about this ninja film is it mix With WWII settings, and yet it doesn't take away any serious tune, as a matter of fact the history and the situation and the war crime that was committed during the Japanese occupation of China 1937 is shown here too, but instead of playing the part of the regular war Movies, it is played with a Classic ninja Movie style.In other words, this movie should not be judged as a war film but as an action/adventure film.Also I love the Chinese location they shot the film, from Beautiful landscape of the ocean and countryside to the big Palace own by the Japanese General.It's not exactly a war Movie for those who are fans of that kind of genre but should be able to find something worth of history.And for all ninja fans out there should be entertained of the story and the martial art.
