Oh gosh. This just guaranteed the movie will suck.

I liked The Last Samurai but Reeves is no Cruise.

Couple of posters that have been released

And that's the one thing I hated about last Samurai & that was Cruise being the lone survivor of an epic battle.

Looks decent enough.

I can't wait for the porno version.

"Groanin' Moanin' Ronin."

I think it looks pretty cool. Looks like it'll be visually impressive at the very least. I wonder why it's not IMAX..?

(A more convenient trailer link; I had some issues with Bruce's link)...

I think it's become a fad to not like Keanu Reeves. Does they guy have a whole lot of range in his acting skills? No, not really. But give the guy a break. He pulls off some amazing physicality and now that he knows all the martial arts stuff from the Matrix films, he's probably not a bad fit for a film like this. This probably isn't striving for Oscar nods, but just a fun visual feast. And will it bomb? Yeah, probably, heh. But that doesn't mean it can't be decent.

Looks cool!

Keanu was pretty good in Man of Tai Chi. He's a huge fan of old school MA films. He has respect for the genre.

thanks for the trailer

Don't know why everyone is so against Reeves. He's actually a decent actor. I'm not sure that i would have cast him for this role but it looks like he'll do fine. I imagine this would be a hard role to cast. Reeves has shown he can be a good solemn actor which is what i think people equate him to being to often and he also has the physical capabilities to not need a stand in.

Agreed, the hate Reeves receives is typical of this generations need to mock.

Most people in my age bracket love the guy. And after Man of Tai Chi and this film, I believe people will start to see the man doing what he loves....which is kung fu films.

The Matrix sequels went over most peoples heads, and that was to be expected. As a lover of the Ghost in the Shell series and other Cyberpunk themed anime I understand why such films left people scratching their heads.

Never understood the hatred for Keanu apart from his acting ability. Despite having one pretty shit time of it he gives most of his earnings from his work away. He supposedly gave away nearly all his $80m from the matrix trilogy to the effects team cos he recognised that they were the people who made the film a success, not him. Made a load of them millionaires. Top bloke.

That being said this film looks all style and no substance.

So Man of Tai Chi is worth checking out?

i've only had a look at reviews not too positive.

It was a good start. And very old school.

Not everyone's taste but I liked it.

Movie looks like Conan remake level shit.

Has the ass-feel of Sucker Punch and The Man with the Iron Fist.

True the SFX truly do cheapen such a genre.

So many HK cinema classics have had such horrendous sequels/remakes recently.

Chinese Ghost Story, Storm Riders ect.
It's sad to see the Chinese go down the path of film making that reminds me of Mortal Kombat but without any of the fun factor.

New trailer out. A better trailer, I think. Doesn't look too different, though..
