zajacktc - 3 March 2024 Skip it. First, I love Wu Assassins. The fights, the characters. The story.
This movie was so unnecessary.
The worthless "romance" plots were annoying, as were the female characters in general. Jason Tobin, fantastic in "Warrior", was wasted. As was Uwais. He is such a stellar fighter, even if his acting is a bit stilted, I felt embarrassed for him. Poor dialogue. Over the top action/fights that don't make sense. And why did they kill off Jenny? My guess was she saw the script and said, no thanks.
I don't know why they felt the need to even do this. Am I impatient for season 2 of Wu? Yes. But hopefully it will come out soon and make me forget this disaster of a movie.
Shadowking1001 - 12 October 2022 Corny and amateurish Straight off the bat, this movie is several levels worse than the series. The plot is insultingly shallow. Characters just come and go without much connection to the story itself. The annoying MTV style production force-fits songs into every other scene. The only positive was I could stop paying attention and can do something else until the song ends - because I knew nothing worthwhile what's going to happen while the song was still playing.
I will give props to the decent cinematography and location. Everything else about this movie was atrocious. The acting by everyone is terrible - shockingly worse than the series. The lead actor is one of the worst I have ever seen. Had the plot made him take a vow of silence, the entire movie would have benefitted.
This is a strong pass for me. Total waste of time.
