Warriors of Virtue Movie Reviews

Fantastic if you’re a Chinese traditional or Taoist

Well, as one of the other users pointed out, this movie is in fact based on the Taoist philosophy, which is somewhat religious. It uses most of the 8 virtues, as listed in ancient Chinese philosophy, which many people still value.

For people who are unaware of all this, especially those who care little for virtues and vices, I can see why this movie seemed so bad.

However, I do not think it is anywhere near the worst/cheesiest movie of all time. I personally enjoyed it immensely when I saw it as a child and later as a teenager. Why are people being so harsh? Do they not appreciate the concept of peer pressure and the triumph of good over evil. Well to be more precise, the movie revealed bad people as having good in them, which I think is important for everyone to remember.

People today are so very self-cantered and unforgiving and in this light, I believe this movie is more than just a kid’s movie or action-flick and as such, deserves more credit than it is currently getting.

Good fight scenes and production design but…

After I saw this film I had mixed feelings about it. The film has a good production design and some very well done fight scenes. On the other hand it has a lousy script. As soon as anybody opens his his mouth you start to cry and beg him/her to shut it immediately because it is really annoying to hear the same old cliches over and over again. It seems that the entire budget was invested in fight scenes etc. and the pitiful rest into the story and/or the actors. I give this film 5 out of 10.

Teenage mutant Kangaroos

This film is one of those forgotten 90s rip-offs from the Ninja Turtle fall out. It’s easy to forget how insane the turtle craze was but it is also easy to forget that the original TMNT movie was actually pretty decent. Most of it’s sequels and copies were not.

Which brings us to this little gem…

It’s a film so bad it’s good. The fight scenes are sloe-mo with wind-blown leaves for no reason other than effect. The warriors of virtue are kangaroos with martial art skills, they personify the virtues eg patience….and it’s fight to the death between good and evil. All told it’s a great movie for kids that the adults can enjoy while pretending to be too old for it.
