The Lost Empire

Rating:
Summary: Interesting Twists!
Review: This movie is a lot of fun to watch. The producers have taken an old Chinese fable and injected new life. Russell Wong and Bai Ling are worth the price of admissison.

Rating:
Summary: A foolish movie
Review: This movie misrepresents the Chinese history with odd plots and foolish effects. What it is trying to say is the value of individual, it is like a stupid political propaganda trying to brain washing the audience. If you are interested in Chinese history or mystery, the movie "Big trouble in little China" is much better.The martial art is terrible, try "Mortal Combat" if you are interested.

Summary: More Than a Fantasy
Review: While I seriously condsidered turning it off after the first ten minutes because it looked stupid, I'm glad I was patient enough to continue watching. I liked T. Gibson's comedic timing and dry delivery, the exotic Buddhist characters, but most of all I was intrigued by the plot involving Master Wu, the writer censored and oppressed. This storyline has a lot to say about controversies like this in all times in all countries. Once that came up, coupled with the love story between Nick and Kwan, I was riveted.
