    Can't see why this movie is disliked

    I have no idea why this movie is harassed and get a very low rating. I mean we have seen many movies like this from Hollywood and yet they get away with it (probably because they have the best CGI).

    We all know now that European and Asian CGI (with the exception of South Korea and Japan) is bad but we also know the history why it is, so I think we can be a little more forgiving now.

    As for the movie, it's Alice in wonderland, but it's cool joyride, I like the music, and the acting is ok, I was entertained from start to finish.

    So I think it should be higher rated.

    kinda hard to review something after it's been pulled 3 days in.

    Thought they made this movie to use as excuse to clean money. obviously 100 million budget and bad reviews kinda shot them selves in the foot. Kevin costner knows how it's like.

    Terrible Movie

    Fortunate enough to watch this movie before being pulled from the cinema.

    Bad story, bad acting. Visuals were decent however! This movie just dragged on and on! Could not wait for it to end!

    The most underrated film I have ever seen

    Asura is always push down for no reason, the only reason it's been pushed is because it's Chinese .

    I see no reason to vote a film like Asura down. I have seen many movies that is way worse, recent Jackie chan movies for instance.

    I say give Asura a go, this is a movie that can't be missed.
