DVD REVIEW:
Almost everyone from
"Stormriders" is back with a new movie combining special
effects, martial arts and history to a new level.
The story focuses on a
man named Hero who believes that he is born under the "Star
of Death" (everyone around him dies...friends, loved ones and
foes). One one hand he is fighting for his master, the other
is getting revenge for the death of his family and last to find
his kidnapped daughter.
Unfortunately, the
movie doesn't answer all what I mentioned thus perhaps a sequel
will be coming out. As for the movie, I tend to enjoy this
movie more than "Stormriders". I actually liked
the plot which has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, like
most comic book adaptions with many people, trying to throw many
characters in will confuse the viewer. Personally, some
people may need to see this movie more than once to feel
comfortable with it. I enjoyed it a lot and enjoyed the
different characters in the movie. It was like a live movie
of "Tekken" and "Soul Blade" mixed with
"Fist of Legend" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden
Dragon".
As for the DVD, this
movie has to be bought on DVD. Although the special cut has
been edited for the DVD version (they removed the KKK section, a
cemetery section and a few other things), the DVD is the best way
to watch this movie because it looks good and sounds good.
Also, the special features available from Universe is a better
offering than most DVD's because they actually subtitled the
special 17-minute making of featurette. Also, the inclusion
of three trailers for the movie and more.
Watch this movie with
an open mind and try to enjoy it. Can't wait for the next
movie!
