I really enjoyed this film one of the best films of the year if not the best…

I agree.. one of the BEST movie so far! And probably the best action sequences I've ever seen.

Sorry folks. That movie was absolutely unwatchable. I've seen Godzilla movies that had more interest. "Flame on..."

I don't know why it isn't already dubbed in English. If you select the secondary audio, you can hear it in Spanish.
Go figure.

I loved the younger Wudan expert, Jen. She's hot! I had no problem with the sub-titles since I spent 4 years in Taiwan and all their movies are filmed that way. It just takes some getting use to. By the way, it is overdubbed in English on the DVD.

Except for the subtitles ( if I wanted to read, I would have gotten the book!!) it was great, kinda reminded me of the ol' Masters of the Flying Guillotine.

She was the scene-stealer and I thought she was adorable:)

I'd like to think I enjoy a variety of movies: Action, adventure, documentaries, even artsy-fartsy ones. But damn! I CANNOT get into a movie with subtitles! I find my attention going back and forth between the picture and the words.

I must be getting old or something, but these damn subtitles suck big time. At least dub the damn things like those old Japanese monster movies.




Don't forget that Godfather 2 was full of subtitles?

I also thought it was good but not great. The fight scenes were awesome though!

Well I am going to have to try watching it again as it looked a little to fake running up the walls and then getting kicked and flying 50 feet or so....I will try hanging in a little longer...

Dishnet has the English version playing. Not sure why Direct doesn't.

Well, I haven't gotten to see the whole thing yet, (I have the pup this week, and "Dad what did that say" gets kinda old!!

I don't love subtitles, but dubbed in english it would be worse, I hate dubbing!


Guys, the flying and jumping up walls has more basis in mythology than it first appears, from what I have seen so far, I think it is excellent. I mean you don't get down on superman for flying or Merlin for casting spells do you?? Or even Moses for parting the Red Sea! Remember it is a fable. Taken in that vein, I think it is an excellent film.


Can't wait to see it start to finish without having to read aloud to my son! LOL.

two thumbs up, and haven't even seen it all yet.
