5/10 - Interesting story and decent gunfights.
Dragon Tiger Gate - A kung fu flick about these guys who um... fight these other guys and then theres this boss dude who is ridiculousy strong and they fight him as well.
6.5/10 - I had some pretty bad subs for this movie that were off by minutes so I was constantly adjusting the timing, which explains why I dont really know what its about, and its a kung fu flick. But the fights were pretty cool.
Shadowless Sword - Set in 927 AD, after the royal family of Balhae is assassinated, a warrior chick is sent to retrieve the last surviving prince from exile. But can she escort him back to restore order to the kingdom with the Killer-Blade Army hot on their trail?
6/10 - A decent wuxia flick from Korea. A bit random at times, like they were trying to make it a bit comedic. It just didnt feel right, they should have stuck with a straight drama. Sword fights were nice, but the exploding body technique might seem corny to someone who isnt a fan of the genre or hasnt seen more than CTHD, HoFD, and Hero.
Shinobi - Set in Japan during the Tokugawa Shogunate, two shinobi from rival clans fall in love with eachother(kind of a ninja Romeo and Juliet thing). Since Tokugawa is not at war with anyone, Japan has no need for Shinobi and decides the best way to get rid of them is to have them kill eachother. Cool, but not for the lovebirds.
7.5/10 - Basically a live-action Naruto. Weak story, little character development. Lots of ninjas with very different and cool techniques. I wish they would have shown more of the ninjas and their abilities, like that one dude who takes peoples faces. WTF? Nice special effects, cool fights, worth watching.
Now, a 5 might seem low to you, but the way I rate things it is average, so these weren't bad movies, they just werent great. And, of course, I rate kung fu flick differently, I dont really care about the story, dialog, or characters. If its there, awesome, but its all about the fighting.
) but I hope it will make me crap my pants.
