Summary: shaolin soccer
Review: i'm an Asian guy and i've seen lots of Stephen Chow's movies. So far this is the best. I laughed a lot when i was watching it. Go and buy it, even if you're not Stephen's fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious
Review: This is the funniest movie I have seen in recent memory, perhaps rivaling Dumb and Dumber as the funniest ever. Wonderfully made and not to be taken seriously at all. Just get drunk, come in with no expectations and have a good time. A must see.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Truly an Awesome Experience
Review: I first saw my friend's copy of "Shaolin Soccer" a year ago. I was forced to give it back to him, so I bought my own DVD of the movie. This movie is pretty incredible. While the movie had very outstanding special effects, Stephen Chow's acting and the ensemble he worked with were both hilarious and delightful. Stephen Chow is definitely the Jim Carrey of China. And the soundtrack, I have to say it was very superb. Definitely complements the movie. I'm very glad that they're bringing this movie to theaters stateside (even if it is edited). Definitely warrants watching many times. I judge all other Far East Asian films to "Shaolin Soccer", and I have yet found one that exceeds this movie. Can't express how much this movie never gets old.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Very Strange
Review: It is the weirdest movie I have every seen! It is in Chinese so you need the subtitles but it doesn't matter. The story revolves around a group of super heroes with various different powers (iron fist, iron leg etc.). They decide to create a soccer team and use there powers to help.
The soccer matches all decend in martial arts battles for seemingly no reason.
This film is such a laugh, it's great!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: slapstick lives
Review: I know it hasn't opened here yet but I've had the priveledge to see it on dvd(import). It is very funny. The moves are so outrages you can't help laugh. The effects are good, but the absurdity of the kinetics is what makes it worthwhile. If you enjoy physical comedy or "slapstick" I'm sure you'll enjoy this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shaolin Soccer rules the universe!
Review: Holy Frickin' Kermit Jesus! This is the greatest movie ever! Stephen Chow uses comedy and clever digital effects to make the most outstanding soccer-movie, love-story, kung-fu-film of all time! Stop whatever you're doing and see this movie RIGHT NOW. Even if you hate soccer you'll love this flick. From the title theme to the closing credits, this film is so ingenious and well put-together that the moment it ends you'll feel the urge to watch it again.

This may be the closest we've ever come to wearing-out an indestructable DVD. Prepare to buy another DVD player because you'll burn out the old one watching this over and over. vastly entertaining and with a hilarious ending, this film is worth every cent spent making it, and every cent buying it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shaolin is Great!
Review: This is the most entertaining movie ive seen in a while. It has tons of humour and maybe a bit excessive special effects but that only makes it better!. One great thing was that it wasnt dubbed, at least not my version. anyway, I highly recommend this to anyone who likes soccer, because this is what true soccer is, this is Shaolin Soccer!!!

Whatever you do, go see it!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stephen Chow The King of Comedy
Review: Terrific! I saw this movie 2 times and I really think is a GREAT movie... you have a lot of fun but also some dramatic moment... well, drama is in Stephen's way, so you can imagine... To really appreciate this movie you have to watch it in chinese; anyway, you can't watch a Stephen Chow's film in any other language or you will miss the best! The movie is also filled with cool special effects... totally worth the money!

And no wonder that for this movie Stephen won for Best Director, Best Actor and Outstanding Young Director at the 21st Annual Hong Kong Film Awards.

Stephen Chow is so hot!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stephen Chow - Comedy God
Review: First I own all of Stephens work and this is his most mainstream film yet, I'm not suprised it got a release in the states.

If you read the preview then you'll know the story is pretty simple but around this is good comedy, characters and special FX.
All the performances from the actors are great espeically the bruce lee like mannorisms from the goalkeeper and Chows regular supporting cast member "Ng Man Tat" as golden leg.

The football matches may seem unrealistic but this is cinema, this is kung fu with Football ! Suspend belief and enjoy it for what it is, entertaining and funny, the final match between good vs evil will leave you feeling that you watched something special and something you'll want to watch again.

I dont know how the US version got dubbed, but or subtitled but hopefully it wasnt too bad !
highly recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie kicked bootie!!!
