We Are Legends

5 reviews
4/10

Action choreography is decent

Not that you won't have seen better, but you know if you don't set the bar too high ... also you shouldn't expect anything much from the story. Characters are not more than they need to be and there are no real surprises awaiting you. Still anyone here for the action, will probably be more or less satisfied. That said, you could use your time with other (more worthy movies).

Offensive to a viewer's intelligence

What happens when you take all the worst cliches, stereotypes, trivialities belonging to the American MMA-scene, and you combine them with a painfully poor script-writing, a bunch of flat, predictable characters, and a storyline with no moral or content? You obtain a movie such as this one. Probably one of the worst fight-movies I have watched in years. Hong-Kong cinema might have its downfalls from time to time - but We are Legends has set the bar too low. Don't waste your precious evening on something like this.

Some wonky choreography, but charming.

My initial impression:

People in the gym train wrecklessly (although it suits the main characters' brash and lovably dumb/silly/crazy personalities (respectively) and plays to the idea their gym has an oldschool approach to training). Some of the MMA choreography looks more wonky than the street fight choreography at one or two points.

My conclusion: Despite all this, the film has genuine charm. All character arcs get addressed. The focus of the film shifts to a different, more likeable, main character halfway through, which is both creative and fairly well executed. You get (*I got*) invested enough in the story that by the end that the questionable bits of choreography at the end were easy to gloss over. Really underrated film. If you like MMA you'll probably get some extra unintended chuckles early in the film too as a bonus, before the plot gets serious enough to outweigh the choreography choices. Really this film probably deserves a 7, but I gave it an eight because it impressed me beyond it's bad reviews and surprised me how much it could draw me into the plot despite the choreography (and despite me being an amateur mma fighter and analyst).
