This movie sucked so-o-o-o-o bad, 5 September 2007

This movie sucked so-o-o-o-o bad. Forget that is was subtitled, the dialogue was worthless. Forget the plot, it was pretty convoluted. Forget the acting, the characters relied on their looks more than their skills. Forget tai kwon do, that martial art will get you no where in a real fight.

Martial arts movies should be about quality, believable martial arts. The fight scenes were just horrible. The good guys could fight for extremely long periods of time against uncountable fresh rivals, do dramatic flips, complicated acrobatics, while bleeding from all extremities and never run out of energy to do more technical moves and leave their rivals in a heap--probably because they consumed their special stamina drink.

The only positives about the movie were the sets. Glimpses of cool camera angles and good use of backdrops against character costumes. I need more story or more action in this type of film.
