Warriors of Virtue Audience Reviews

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
bugg-640-259748 There are a lot of horrid, bad movies out there and there are a lot of unwatchable, boring movies out there. With this movie, we get the worst of both worlds.1) The characters. The actual warriors have no real character; the movie has to list their personality traits! The kid himself is not interesting and the villain is just over-the-top goofy.2) The visuals. The world of Tao (Actually pronounced "Dao") is nothing you haven't seen before and the puppetry is pitifully bad. Mouth movements by the warriors and others rarely match up with dialog. Fight scenes are simply unwatchable, with this weird frame-cutting technique.3) The slug-like pace. If it wasn't for Mountain Dew, I would've fallen asleep numerous times.At least with films like Battlefield Earth, we get entertainment, even at the expense of the movie. Here, we don't have such luck.
RodimusPrime752000 My kids were acting like little monsters, so I was going to just have them sit down and watch Spykids, but are DVD player wasn't working, so I turned on the VCR and made them watch a video from my best friends VHS collection. I never saw the movie before and neither did my kids it took about 20 mins before the kids realized how bad this movie truly was! I said, "fine don't watch", but then they were acting up again. So, I sat them on the couch and told them they are going to watch the whole movie, til dinner was ready.Lets just say from now on, when I really want to punish them, I put them in the basement and make them watch the movie as punishment. My kids have never been so well behaved.
shark-43 WOW -- this thing is so weird, so bad in many ways that it is a cheesefest for bad movie lovers. Now, Ronny Yu is a talented director - his magical fairy tale THE BRIDE WITH WHITE HAIR is beautiful and wonderful. I also know many horror fans enjoy his FREDDY v.s. JASON (I haven't seen it) but this film - an odd attempt to mesh a kiddie film, an adventure, martial arts, evil villains, music video art direction AND KANGAROOS that can kick butt with karate and ninja moves - has to be seen to be believed. There is a mopey kid with a bad leg who longs to play football - he is teased by the jocks who convince him to try a physical dare and he falls into a sewer plant's whirlpool (you with me??) and sucked into a magical world where HIS LEG IS OKAY - and gosh, once you have a group of kung-fu kangaroos, life is sweet. The make-up or masks - whatever they did to make the kangaroos' faces - well, its just plain creepy. And the villain in the fantasy world is played by Angus MacFayden who has gone on to be good in Braveheart and as Orson Welles in Cradle Will Rock- but, um,,,Angus gives a performance that is so over the top it is jaw-dropping. Major ham and cheese sub job. It's funny how an actor will know he's in some trainwreck and many times will just sleepwalk through it (or drink through it) and just mumble their way through it dead-eyed BUT sometimes they figure, Aw - what the hell - I know the movie's crap but I'm gonna have fun! And he does - made up to look like the lead singer of The Cure, he screams and pouts like a fey King Lear. It's wild. The movie has so many strange things in it that I highly recommend it for fans of cinema oddities.
jea5393 I first saw this movie many years ago. It thoroughly bored me, as starting about 25 minutes into it, I could predict what would happen at almost every turn.Well, I read a few of the favorable reviews of this movie here at imdb and decided to give it another chance. Would it be better second time around?Nope. Stopped watching about 40 minutes into it and tuned in Pokemon instead.Rating: 4 out of 10.
