Brilliantly choreographed and shot, Kung Fu Hustle is often grisly, visually spectacular and unabashedly silly, sometimes all at once.

It won't be long before you feel the compulsion to watch again. There is too much to appreciate in one sitting.

This is the kind of movie where you laugh occasionally and have a silly grin most of the rest of the time.

Vivid and madcap but fails to connect on any emotional level.

Hustle's approach to a simple good-vs.-evil plot is eccentrically exuberant.

For all its punches, kicks, whacks and thumps, the movie does not have much impact, and for all its affectionate nostalgia, it produces a strange kind of amnesia. It knocks the sense right out of your head, and its own as well.

For all its stylishness, verve and moments of visual poetry, the relentlessly punishing slapstick and overall cruel tone left me cold.
