Lord Of The Wu-Tang

This film is darn near incomprehensible, so dont even think about trying to figure out the storyline unless you have you rewind button at fingers reach. I dont think Superman has flown as much as some of the people in this film, specifically Jet Li's character, Chang Mo Kei. He's flying, and then starts shooting blue stuff out from his hands! I almost thought I was watching a real life Dragonball Z movie. Definite fantasy martial art movie. Story goes something like this: Mo Kei (Jet Li) sees his parents forced into suicide, his mother tells him to remember all faces around them and take revenge. Unfortunately for Mo-Kei, he is injury in a duel and cannot learn kung-fu. When sickly Mo Kei is nearly killed by his brother, a kung fu master that rolls around like that huge boulder not only cures the young man of an illness in flicted by the Jinx's Palm, but imparts powers that make him invincible. Chang retreats to a cave with comely Chingmy Yau, oh so damn fines. In the mean time, armies from all of the kung fu sects (including the Master of the Ming Sect, the Evil Nun of No-Mercy, the Master of the Evil Sect, and the King of the Green Bat -- and then there's a woman who shoots darts on her auto harp, and a pair of villains who freeze their victims with what looks like Xmas tree flocking spurting from under their sleeves) are in a huge battle scene; that is, before Chang reveals that their conflicts are part of a government plot to destroy the influence of the martial arts schools. Riiiiiiiggghhttt.... The movie ends abruptly, especially when you just start to think you know what is finally going on which means that part two was going to happen but due to the poor box-office showing, it was never done. This movie was a little too much for me as I am not one for all that wiring kung-fu fantasy monkey crap. So if your into fantasy fu and love Jet li, this movie is for you without a doubt. But if you prefer things to be atleast a little realistic, then you may be dissappointed. Overall I give it a 6 out of 10 stars.
