That was an excellent one.

Best movie of this year hands down!

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

THE RESISTANCE is a cheap US/Chinese co-production that's a piece of propaganda about resistance forces fighting back against the invading Japanese army in 1937. It's a low budget-looking thing in which most of the scenes take place in the dark with an ugly blue tint to the camera rendering realism and cinematography redundant because you can barely see what's going on.The story is about a bunch of characters, male and female, who stand up against their oppressors. And before long you realise that this is nothing more than a straight-up copy of the far superior IP MAN, right down to the tournament battles between a Chinese hero and a Japanese fighter in a room surrounded by jeering Japanese spectators. The main Japanese bad guy is almost exactly the same as the one in IP MAN.It goes without saying that the fight choreography is much, much worse than in the Donnie Yen movie and almost unwatchable in places. To keep the momentum going a few random ninja scenes are added to the plot along with some fake-looking CGI blood. What this all amounts to is a cheesy B-movie without an ounce of common sense or originality to redeem it.

I love this filmTrue Chinese spiritA sad story, with a tragic heroine, who became a member of the resistance, then later become ninja fighter to revenge her people!She challenge ninjas, soldiers, killer geisha, and a tattooed general who is a friend of the Nazis!Sadly, the story is inspired by a true event of Nanking massacre during 1937, but despite the movie is an action entertaining movie, it also keep it focus on the tragedy plot.That's why Xiaoyun is my heroine, she is part of the tragedy, because of this horrible event she lost everything, now to prevent this event to spread she must become fighter. And she does do what she must to protect the innocent even if it means to become a murderer herselfI give full score to this film, I love it...

when it comes to the case of Chinese anti war movies of the Sino-Japanese invasion normally 9 out of 10 movies goes mostly over the top or obviously made for just be a propaganda movie.But in this case The Resistance is more then that, it's not a war movie or a an anti war movie at all, it's more of an assassin movie or an action/adventure movie with a style of a female heroine movie, one could say Hu Sang who play Xiaoyun is a woman version of Zorro.On the other hand, it can't be compared with Mulan who is a typical war story and that movie is more focus on the war with epic knight tale and how the legends was described.But for what it is, The Resistance is epic as a story of it's own, with beautiful landscape of China, and combined of history drama and ninja adventure.

OK first of all after I read all the hate reviews about The Resistance, and I have admit that I got irritated over what they complained about and I must say "what is the big fuzz about?" OK so The movie has cheap CGI and weak acting.....so what? Since when has CGI been a good thing even when it's expensive done? It was already old after 1999 so no need to be hard on this film just because they use CGI, and also I couldn't find any week actor or actress in this film, OK maybe some were but not the entire cast, there were some cast member who did a great performance and doesn't deserve the hate reviews just because some "popcorn break first eating blockbuster snobs" were expecting everybody to be Tom Hanks. And one more thing that got me irritated was most of the haters said they only watched 10 minute of the film.......really? Half of that is only opening credit and WWII intro, how on earth can someone say it's a bad film when they barely saw anything!And why I mention all this is because I love this film, it's not a masterpiece and it has a few weak moments but however the ninja action got me exited an the sad moments that happened during the Japanese occupation Is there too and got me emotional.The shot of the Japanese palace was beautifully done with gray-scaled colors and every fight scene is well choreographed, you can actually feel the punches like it's almost real fighting.if you really should avoid this film is if you have a heart expecting for a war film with typical bunkers and explosions.But if you like ninjas or martial art or history or any kind of foreign film specially from Asia then by all means give this movie a chance, I love this film and I'm glad I saw it.
