| fantastic cinematography, fantastic job by Keanu (by citizenyes) |
| I saw this film and was blown away by it as a total package. As a first time director, Keanu was very sure of himself, stylistically. he didn't try to bite off too much story wise, allowing him to keep a very tight narrative; no wasted drama or superfluous frames. many more experienced directors, that everyone considers "great" can't do that. most movies ramble and unconsciously divert and subvert their story lines, and ultimately what they want to say. i think this movie can stand several viewings because it operates on many levels, between drama and action, overlaid with a <more> |
| A kung-fu movie (by jakovposao) |
| It's a kung-fu movie. If approached in that manner the movie is awesome experience, the only thing i could maybe be a critic of is directing and placement of Keanu and the role he played was a bit stiff but all in all its a 10/10 for kung-fu old school title very glad they are still made.Considering that Keanu him self is a kung-fu nut it was expected to see him doing something like this.I applaud you sir, and support. MA fan myself If you would look at it as a movie in whole, its not good, don't even go there why it's not just not designed to be a "good" movie. |
| How is it possible (by JuiceZee) |
| that a martial arts movie is not full of melodrama gratuitous violence and/or an unbelievable plot? I had no problem following the storyline even with 2 out of 3 languages I know nothing about Mandarin & Cantonese . Due to the careful use of dialog I could easily read the subtitles of this tale of a sweet and gifted martial artist Tiger Chen who gets sucked into the dark side to financially help his family and his temple. The plot has some interesting twists and a good deal of eastern philosophy about managing chi and the necessity of meditation and use or abuse of power. I recognized <more> |
| I think I just found myself a new favorite director (by taifunu) |
| It wasn't exactly a surprise, though. To paraphrase a character from the movie, I knew he had it in him. But knowing and actually seeing are two different things. The movie has an old school feel to it - and yet not. It builds slowly, maybe too slowly for most people's taste. Slowly, subtly, steadily; like the bass line of a Foo Fighters song. Like a lazy snake that uncoils in the sun. Like Chi in meditation. It picks up its pace only after 40 minutes or so. But until then, the audience is given plenty of details, hints and reference to work with - if so inclined. And when things do <more> |
| Tai Chi works (by kwstasna) |
| i saw bad and good reviews... i'm going to tell you my opinion about this movie.Tai Chi is not well knowned for its movies... i mean... who has seen another tai chi movie with a well known actor like keanu reeves.The battles were great, it shows what tai chi can do about relaxation and when you are in danger.in addition with other raw movies like undisputed etc. this one shows that what you do, can make good to yourself and to your people who are close to you : Gave 9/10 cause i like tai chi and the way it transfered to me some things i didn't know about it : |
| Movie fine work. Also moves are great. (by qgun1) |
| ...i just list this for clarity:Even sometimes Undisturbingly Formulaish, the deeper side stands out, and Moves are well done, many times amazing. Da matrix arts are well enough mixed with martial arts and deeper spirits ^.^ Kunfu viewers and ModernAction viewers both get delivered. i don't remember any scene that i felt like waiting , waiting the next one. The happenings have nice surroundings and feelings. Fine work this movie is. Im going to play some Mortal Kombat now ^.^ see YOU! _ ___________________________________________________// ignore the next lines : ^^ oh crap IMDb <more> |
| A Valuable Lesson. (by gambit-737-685846) |
| Man of Tai Chi. I must say, this movie portrays everything Tai Chi teaches us about ourselves, our inner demons, and how easy it is to loose yourself once you achieve Power. How Control is even more important then simply having great power. After Watching it I must admit, IMDb's review by davidvdb2 Belgium Signifies that Movie Critics do not know jack when it comes to the Spirit of Martial Arts and its Many uses. I urge you to see this movie, its not the greatest; But it has a valuable lesson that we must all learn while walking upon our own path to becoming a better Person, not just in <more> |
| Excellent directorial début by Reeves (by sean-cowan1) |
| I liked what I saw in the trailer, but was still not sure what Keanu Reeves would do as a director. I have heard from him in many interviews how he is a 'kung-fu film nut' but you can never be sure if actors are serious in interview or not. Once you see this movie, you can tell just how much of a kung-fu film nut he actually is. He used the camera very well in every single fight scene, none of the shaky-cam stuff we see in most action and kung-fu movies today - where the speed of the camera makes the pacing of the fight. On the contrary in Man of Tai Chi Reeves keeps the camera <more> |
| Slow burning but satisfying first try (by alde_benjie) |
| Man of Tai Chi may not be one of the best martial arts movie made, but i would say, its a good first attempt at directing by one of my more favored actor and an all-around good human being, Keannu Reeves. Though the acting might slightly be bland for the most part all right then, all through out except for Karen Mok who i adore , but then again you have to admit though it's not exactly Shakespeare we're watching here. Its a pound for pound martial arts movie for action flick aficionados, too much acting or show of emotions would've made it too soft for me or pretentious. I think <more> |
