Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

... View MoreOk... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
... View MoreIt is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
... View MoreThe tough and cold mercenary Warchild, is working for the man who took care of his war training and upbringing, the greedy General Ruechang. Ruechang is planning to take over the country by marrying Princess Halo. Bridge of Dragons for sure has it's moments and Dolph Lundgren is as great as ever but i'm afraid the storyline feels very cheap and the kind of i've been there and i've done that. The acting wasn't of course bad but nothing truly shocking happened in this film for me to truly enjoy it and have some great time watching it....!!! (5.0/10)
... View MoreI've seen several of Lungren's films, and he has the ability to make an entertaining action star. He did some great work in things like "Showdown in Little Tokyo." This, however, is between a poor attempt at making an action film and crap-on-a-stick.The plot is clichéd and not too well done. Lungren is Warchild (WHAT a name!!), a soldier who works for a general who turns out to be evil (played by Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa, the only decent actor in the whole film). When the living princess (the very attractive but severely untalented Valerie Chow), who is engaged to the general, learns that he killed her parents, she flees, and Warchild is sent to find her. When he finally gets it through his head that the general, who raised him, is evil, he joins the resistance and fights against the general.Lungren pulls off some decent action, making good use of his feet in his fights (he really could do that more, but oh well); his acting is what you'd expect if you've ever seen him before. The gunfights are half decent, half corny. Valerie Chow, I'm sorry to say, could not act her way into a children's theatre, which is a terrible testament to her, considering how lovely of a woman she is.You might watch this if you are either extremely bored, desperate, drunk, or have kids who are old enough to start seeing action films. (there is nothing in this film you could not show a decent-aged kid). Don't approach this thing if you place high value on the use of your brain matter.
... View MoreIn a place where the past and future meet, Dolph will make one of his strangest movies yet. 'Bridge of Dragons' is the closest thing to a fairy tale that Dolph Lundgren is ever going to do. A fairy tale that involves more wasted bullets than John Woo could ever dream of, but a fairy tale none the less.In a land where time where the past and future are apparently one, the evil General Ruechang (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) rules with an iron fist. The King has been dead for some time, but Ruechang is plotting to consolidate his power by marrying Princess Halo (Rachel Shane), allowing him to sit on the throne. Enter Warchild (Dolph), Ruechang's best soldier. When Princess Halo ditches the wedding in a bid to join the rebels, Warchild is sent in pursuit. However, Warchild has a conscience attack, and it may not quite be what Ruechang was expecting.'Bridge of Dragons' is great fun if you like Dolph and cheese. The movie cheese, not the food cheese. In case you were not instantly able to tell that Ruechang is evil, he conveniently has the number 666 stuck on his helicopters and jeeps, for no apparent reason. On the other hand, the name Princess Halo pretty much ensures her good-guy status, and this fairy tale world gets crazier. We have Asian rulers, Scottish bartenders, and Dolph. Princess Halo's martial arts abilities are matched only by Warchild's and Ruechang's, without explanation of course. Thanks to a crazy past / future time combination, we get to see evil guys trading horses for women, only to have Dolph shoot them and drive off in a four-wheel drive. Interesting. And a princess joining the rebel alliance? Inconceivable!'Bridge of Dragons' is an action B-movie at its most b-ness. We have a world in which everyone dies an acrobatic death, sometimes getting more acrobatic as the deaths pile up. Dolph does beat up and shoot many people, but leaves a few for Tagawa, Chow, and Gary Hudson. The action scenes are exciting, even if you can plainly see stunt men waiting for their cue to jump from the impending explosion. Awesome.Don't be fooled by the cover. "The directorial style of John Woo" actually refers to the style of this film's director, Isaac Florentine. You can be excused for never having heard of him, as he seems to direct only action b-movies and episodes of 'Power Rangers'. Nor is 'Bridge of Dragons' Dolph's finest hour, as the package claims. It's like a fairy-tale version of 'Men of War' (which nearly is Dolph's finest hour), just with less of a point.'Bridge of Dragons' is a fun movie. May even appeal to people who aren't Dolph Lundgren fans (and that doesn't happen very often), and is recommended to anyone for looking for cheap laughs - 4/10
... View MoreIt's a strange film but definitely Dolph Lundgren's best in long time. Director Isaac Florentine certainly knows how to get the most out of his budget. The film has a epic feel to it. It is beautifully shot and the story barrels along with enough pace to cover any plot holes. Lundgreen looks his most heroic in this film and gets a nice chance to let loose with his Martial Arts skills.
