Oh gosh. This just guaranteed the movie will suck.

I liked The Last Samurai but Reeves is no Cruise.

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

trailer...

Looks decent enough.

Esau Cairn
I can't wait for the porno version.

"Groanin' Moanin' Ronin."

Patient_Leech
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.

the ninjak
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.

jaden101
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.

Tzeentch._
Movie looks like Conan remake level shit.

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

the ninjak
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.

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

Stealth Moose
This might be interesting. All action and SFX, but sometimes that's for the best.

Kazenji
Its not doing so well with the critics...But you know its only their opinion.

Patient_Leech
Holy shit.. 12% on RT. I knew it wouldn't do well, but I wasn't expecting it to get that low. erm

Stealth Moose
Yeah that's not good. However, 69% of users liked it which is something. Professional critics sometimes remind me of internet goons who want to seem cooler by hating something vehemently instead of enjoying it holistically. The fact that Black Guy in a Fat Suit Sequel Eight Billion Madea's Christmas ranked marginally higher at 20% tells me that the critics aren't the best barometer of enjoyability for films. Hobbit 2, which is the most disappointing Tolkien movie since Ralph's animated series, ranked much higher, and atrocity to mankind Lone Ranger ranked 31% (That was a horrible film which went on forever).

Grain of salt folks. In any case I plan to see it today so if it is indeed crap I'll let you know.

quanchi112
I will see this at 3:40 and give you my professional opinion my ardent followers.

The movie is obviously going to be a turd, and we all know that that the only positive comment anyone is going to be able to make about it is "well it's a brainless, completely shit popcorn flick, but if you ignore literally every single thing sans the fight scenes its decent entertainment".

Robtard
laughing out loud 12%

Seems my very low prediction wasn't quite low enough.

Stealth Moose
Keanu doesn't deserve the hate.

Also, I thought MoS was the best Supes film I've ever seen, even if it had a shitty introduction that left a lot unanswered until half an hour or more into the film.

But I might be biased since Faora made the movie for me and Henry Cavill always comes off as a nice guy.

Agreed. Yeah, that is a pretty significant difference. It could still be enjoyable. The Lone Ranger deserved a much lower rating.

quanchi112
Very solid film. It wasn't the action dominated film many thought it would be. Really about duty and honor. Enjoyable story and I would definitely recommend it.


I don't want Robbie to ever see it. He is not worthy.

Firefly218
Absolutely terrible movie and I actually got bored in the middle. Keanu Reeves didn't fit in, felt stale and unoriginal, terrible character development.

Fighting and effects were awesome though.

Stealth Moose
I trust ares more so yeah, sounds good.

I didn't get a chance to see this since dinner took longer than expected. Hopefully tomorrow. Duty and honor are good themes.

There is no Emmy for staying IC at KMC.

This was actually really good. I enjoyed it. Will likely buy it upon home release.

BruceSkywalker
just got back from seeing this..

loved the sword action, but still should have been more..

the witchcraft angle and love story, not needed

Henry Sanada should have been in every scene big grin

Reeves is okay in the role..

its not a half bad film but can only recommend if you like Reeves or Samurai films... 6/10 rating

big grin big grin big grin big grin big grin big grin

chinu
its not that baad

the problem with this is that Universal is to blame followed by the screenwriter

Movie is boming utterly.

Studio's projected to take a 145 million dollar loss.

lulz.

Are you insane or just good old fashioned stupid? The masses agree with my guess that this would be ass, hence the utter flop at the box office. Obviosuly some people will like it.

I'll still be seeing it for free though and will give my opinion on it then.

You're just too dumb to comprehend I guess. The movie flopped, just deal with it. You can still personally enjoy it even though it didn't make money, which is usually your #1 thing. My favorite film didn't do great at the box office either; I don't care; it's a non factor in how much I enjoy a film. Try it smile

You also obviosuly "judged" the movie before you saw it and thought it would likely be good, dumbass. Trailers are there so people can form early opinions and then go (or not go) and see the film.

You should never see it then. You always judge movies and act like they are trash without ever seeing them. Ignorance 101. Very solid film, close minded one.

This is why you're stupid: You openly admitted that you formed an opinion about the film before you saw it based on the previews(and that is fine). Yet you have a problem with me forming my own opinion about the film based on the previews because it differs from yours.

Now cry more and say something else stupid smile

No, but I can see how a dummy would think that. Why do you care so much that I approve of films you love smile It's rather odd.

I don't care but you're quite hypocritical and close minded. I'd rather go see it but you make assumptions and predeterminations while raging against people who actually see the movie.

Whether it be informed or not, everyone can have an opinion. I for one thought that Enders Game was gonna suck before I saw it, based on the trailer, am I ignorant and close minded? That's not rhetorical, I'm legitimately curious as to your response.

That depends, if Ender's Game is something he went balls deep over, then you're a POS for thinking it would suck based on the previews.

If Ender's Game is something he doesn't salivate over, you're alright in thinking that.
