A Mortal Combat remake.. without the cool characters..

"... unknowing martial artists are summoned to a mysterious island to compete in a tournament whose outcome will decide the fate of the world."

That was the plot for Mortal Combat. It worked there because you had some fun characters.

Doesn't work as well here when you don't have Raiden or Sub-Zero. Which is too bad, it would have certainly made this film more bearable. Perhaps it was because I watched with both subs and dubs, but I found pretty much everything retarded... except for the fight scenes.

If you like Kung-Fu movies, it's worth a watch for the fight scenes, the movie is fun... just a bad Mortal Combat remake...

No story and so on

If it actually a had a better (more decent) story this would be even better. But as it is, this is an amazing display in action choreography. There's always favorites in terms of, what people will like to see shown in a hands on (sorry for the pun) movie like this. And while this does not fail to deliver (framing, sound and setting in general, not to mention the choreography itself), some might want other things from their action movies.

But if you're in it for the really well executed (no pun intended here) scenes of (pretend) violence, look no further. The story as written before is very simple, but it's nothing more than an excuse for people to get it on (fighting-wise). A really more than decent effort in the martial arts scene

Kung Fu meets MMA

This movie is bad ass! This is a classic Kung Fu style cinema with a modern day MMA influence. The subject matter is religious based (dogma,indoctrination) and coincides with the persecution of the Buddhist monks in China. It also incorporates the invasion of the Japanese in China. It may be a touchy subject for some but I took it for what it is...a fighting movie. There were your usual cheesy scenes that you would find in any Kung Fu movie but it wasn't too bothersome. The movie had a great musical score and the over dubs were not bad at all, except for the annoying kids. I highly recommend this movie if you're a fight fan or enthusiast. 7/10

Decent action movie. With a few notes.

The action is quite good.

The main actor is cool.

The plotting is decent with a couple exceptions.

The concept is interesting.

The story is simple. Really simple.

If I was Japanese I'd be totally offended. As is, it was gross political propaganda that Japanese are disgusting death cultists.

The word vajra means wisdom, or decisive action; an energy that can be distorted into anger. Idk if people actually use the word all stupid like in the movie.

A great Martial Arts movie!

I will keep this short, this film was great!A unique concept and simple story carry this movie from point A to point B, while setting up plenty of fights and action! If you like martial arts movies, i'm sure you'll enjoy this.The movie has a darker tone to it, and characters are introduced appropriately. The choreography was very good for the most part, feeling gritty and with impact. I would've liked to see slightly longer shots in some of fight editing, but still, its a lot better than most of the stuff out there. The movie itself was shot beautifully. Certain scenes and setting (Shaolin / Hades) just look deep, and vivid. My verdict, if your into martial arts films, check it out!

Gaffes
During the fight between K-29 and the leader of the Violence Sect, at one point there is a close-up of the Violence Sect's head being slammed into what is supposed to be a stone wall, but the wall flexes and gives way revealing that it's a flimsy façade rather than a solid wall.
