The Avenging Fist (2001)
Reviewed by: Sydneyguy on 2002-02-13
Summary: Ummm...........
It's funny, but the cgi SFX actually ruined this movie!! Just because it's new technology doesn't make it good if it isn't put into good use (like STORMRIDERS didn't go overboard with it's CGI SFX like this movie)
Maybe audiences are getting tired of the hk standard of fighting, but this cgi sfx isn't the way to make it mroe exciting. Your more likely to go, whats happening!!

Story is standard and the character development is minimal. All you need to know about these characters is that they can fight!!

Funny enough, the veteran actors take center stage in this movie. It's good to see Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung on the big screen again. They are about the only reasons to watch the movie. The other young actors did a ok job, but WAng Lee and Stephen Fung seem wrong in their roles. They just didn't seem to act that much!! They seem like dead weight!!

I had a feeling the ending would end like it did. What a MAJOR disappointment. A feel generous giving this......

5.5/10
