Boyka: Undisputed IV

Boyka Undisputed was worth the wait. Unlike many fight movies this movie have a heart. This is one of the best fight movie of the decade and the best of the year, which had movies like Kickboxer: Vengeance which was an utter disappointment.

Moreover the character of Boyka has been molded so wonderfully that you can feel the pain of the character when he tries to smile and feel his rage in silence.

Scott Adkins has done an a wonderful job and Boyka is a piece of art. The best part is this isn't just a Fight movie... Every now and then there, when you are unprepared and unguarded this movie hits you in such soft parts that you might tear up too.

Nobody ever thought that Undisputed would later create an antagonist named 'Boyka' who would be loved so much that his name would come before the name of the actual movie i.e UNDISPUTED.

Boyka returns as the most complete fighter in the world in the third sequel to this underrated action packed franchise that really came out of nowhere in the early 2000's. The latest delivers on the testosterone driven, bone breaking action you would expect with Adkins delivering on the solid fight and stunt choreography which is captured by amazing camera work. The kind of which is sorely missing from most mainstream Hollywood shaky cam, CGI driven action films. The latest sequel does have quite a crazy looking, roided out freak of nature as a main villain which definitely makes for a great looking bad guy and final fight scene. Overall, a bad ass, barebones B-action movie that doesn't disappoint. Fans of parts II and III will definitely enjoy and along with John Wick 2 and Logan will be among my favorite action films of the year.

7/10.

Great. Having seen the previous films this film lives up to its predecessors and it does well at delivering action packed excitement. Boykas character development was great.

Scott Adkins is still at the top of his game. None of the fights really stand up to the final fight from part III but they are all solid. In general I think the fights are a little less electrifying than the ones from the previous two installments, but very good and entertaining, if not great. Martyn Ford is a good final boss and of all the really big bad guys in martial arts movies is definitely one of the scarier looking. Very streamlined and focused, the plot is a vehicle to move us from one fight to the next and to demonstrate Boyka's progression as a character. Boyka has a coherent character arch and Scott Adkins performance is quite good even when he's not kicking the s*** out of people. Hoping for a part V.

I am a big fan of these movies but I had a bit of apprehension as the same director wasn't doing this movie but I thought I would still watch it. I was shocked to see an eight vote out of ten when the movie hasn't even come out, but we all know about fake votes just to get people to watch a film. As with a lot of cheaply made films, the main bad guy, Martin Ford in this case, is given no lines, unlike the previous two films. Your typical cheap movie bad guy, grunts and groans his scenes through. Also unlike the past two movies, Martin Ford is not a fighter, yes a big guy who looks scary but his fight scenes then suffer as he is given dreadful techniques to do in the fights. Scott does what he does best as with the rest of the movies and this will just be another stepping block for him. He's good but in this it feels as if it is another film that will not take into the big league which is a shame. Will they make another one, yes as these are his best films to date, his style of fighting suits these movies, so we will all wait for the next one and let's just hope they learn from their mistakes. There are plenty of martial artists out there that can do a good job of being a bad guy. The ending of this movie feels a little pushed as they didn't know what to do with the character. My score is a forced six as I am a fan of the movies, but most people would give it an honest five.
