I WATCH THIS MOVIE IN MY LANGUAGE TAMIL LANGUAGE AM FROM CHENNAI INDIA .. REALLY WHAT KIND OF MOVIE IS THIS WATS THE CONCEPT .. MIND DISTURBED.. WATS THE STORY TELLING ABOUT ... SO SAD ITS VERY ... BUT FIGHT SCENE AND THRILLER AND ACTION AND SUSPENSE AND SOME OF FEARS AND AND CLIMAX FIGHT IS BEST THING AWESOME FIGHT. WE LOVE TOO WATCH THIS IS MOVIE VERY SILENECE AND RELAXATION AND WE WILL GET UNDERSTAND FINALLY ONLY .. BUT THE GET UP OF THE VILLIANS WAS TOTALLY DIFFRENT THINKING I THINK I GET NOT UNDERSTAND WELL IN MY LANGUAGE USING PRIME VIDEO ... I WILL DON'T KNOW THIS MOVIE WILL GET SUCESS OR NOT.

Cheesy at times and low budget for sure but cool! It was like they took the characters' from Mortal Kombat and made them real! I also loved the fight scene they were real looking, not that fake look where you can see the punches not land, I hate those kind of movies. Enjoyable enough to pass time with so I do not feel disappointed. Lately, with work I wish I had picked a better movie to watch now that I am watching fewer and fewer movies. I didn't hate the story but it was hard to follow at times. Loved the lead, and his moves were on point! A solid B + movie so don't expect Marvel or DC like the description suggests.

What is the picture? This is Hanuman's death god. It's an abandoned building. It looks like there are four or five families inside. Someone has killed the children in that family.

They say that they are going to be kidnapped. At the end, it looks like someone is kidnapping them from the lower floor of the same building and giving them human sacrifice. Then the hero comes and fights. That is good. At the end, I don't know what they are going to say in the film. In between, the police comes and interrogates the hero, he keeps telling the same story, the story is gone, then a small fight comes, the fight is all good, to be honest, the bit choreography is great, but the screen play is not good to watch.

I did not understand until now what this movie is devoid of anything. Even the hero did not employ him well. Everything is absurd and out of place, a lot of screaming, etc... He wants revenge for his soul, but he is unable and always fails. The important thing is a silly movie that does not rise to the level of action films. Silly and boring and does not contain elements that bind you to continue. From half an hour, you will feel that you are in front of a meaningless amateur work. Except the fighting was pretty good and the actors were amateurs even the voice-over was horrible and pretty hopeless.

The storyline in "Shadow Master" was a dumpster fire of a script. The narrative was sluggish, all over the place, and actually made very little sense. And in terms of "Shadow Master" providing adequate entertaining, as a movie is supposed to, then writer and director Pearry Reginald Teo simply dropped the ball.

The pacing of the narrative was sluggish and slow, and that made sitting through "Shadow Master" a bit of a struggle. The movie could definitely have benefitted from a more upscaled narrative with more action, or at least a better constructed script and storyline.

As for placing "Shadow Master" in a genre, then it was a bit all over the place. There were elements of horror in it, of course elements of action given the martial arts, elements of supernatural to it. So it was a bit of a strange mix.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, and the acting performances were mediocre. Yeah, you're not in for an evening of Shakespearian theater here. Not that I was expecting an action movie titled "Shadow Master" to be a cinematic masterpiece.

The martial art sequences in the movie are good, and leading actor D. Y. Sao (playing An Voaen) definitely has fighting skills. I will say that his martial arts helped carry the movie quite a long way. There is just something that works about that Thai martial arts style where they use their elbows and knees for striking.

The wardrobe and costumes in the movie was just hands-down horrible. It looked abysmal, especially since there was no consistency or sense to it. The garments people wore were just all over the place, from cheap masks bought off of Wish, to mesh shirts bought at an adult store, to burlap garments that made no sense that anyone would be wearing.

Writer and director Pearry Reginald Teo set out to accomplish something with "Shadow Master", that much was certain. But the end result was a rather messy heap of an inconsistent storyline that just leaves you baffled and trying to figure out what you actually just sat through.

"Shadow Master" is not a movie that I would recommend you waste 90 minutes on watching, especially not if you enjoy a movie with a compelling and interesting storyline.

My rating of "Shadow Master" comes to land on a very generous three out of ten stars.
