Man of Tai Chi (2013) Review by Janzeke from United States
that a martial arts movie is not full of melodrama gratuitous violenceand/or an unbelievable plot? I had no problem following the storylineeven with 2 out of 3 languages I know nothing about (Mandarin &Cantonese). Due of the careful use of dialog I could easily read thesubtitles of this tale of a sweet and gifted martial artist (TigerChen) who gets sucked into the dark side to financially help his familyand his temple. The plot has some interesting twists and a good deal ofeastern philosophy about managing chi and the necessity of meditationand use or abuse of power. I recognized the wealthy people as decadentand callus. The female police officer, (Karen Mok) following herinstinct to hunt down a killer, was depicted as strong and capable.Qing Ye is the love interest and she has a great line that will makewomen everywhere smile. There were some very Matrix like moments. Theshowy part of the movie is in the fight scenes and there are a lot ofthem. Martial artists in all their male physicality with a limitedamount of blood and gore. The careful use of blood highlights thestoryline and does not drown it out especially the final fight that ispretty damn cool with Keanu Reeves as the baddest of the bad guys ever.It is surprising to see him so evil! I will be seeing this movie again.Hoping for a blu-ray DVD with lots of extras. PLEASE. Don't even tellme about any limited release in the US. This movie might attract morethan just the usual Kung Fu fans.
Man of Tai Chi (2013) Review by taifunu from the Earth
It wasn't exactly a surprise, though. To paraphrase a character fromthe movie, I knew he had it in him. But knowing and actually seeing aretwo different things. The movie has an old school feel to it - and yetnot. It builds slowly, maybe too slowly for most people's taste.Slowly, subtly, steadily; like the bass line of a Foo Fighters song.Like a lazy snake that uncoils in the sun. Like Chi in meditation. Itpicks up its pace only after 40 minutes or so. But until then, theaudience is given plenty of details, hints and reference to work with -if so inclined. And when things do start happening, it's beautiful towatch. Yes, it does have a few stiff and/or formulaic moments but giventhe genre and it being a directorial debut, this was inevitable ;)Also, in spite of the genre and the references/homages to othermovies,Reeves' directing style is original.He might have been inspiredby the masters, but he doesn't borrow from any of them. Like Tiger,Reeves created his own style: ironic,realistic, minimalist, sharp,punctual, complex,subtle, multi-layered. Although being promoted as a'kung-fu movie', Man of Tai Chi is much more than that. It's ameditation on many aspects and trappings of today's life. But none ofthem are spelled out in neon letters; it's up to the audience torecognize them. All in all, it's like... a Chinese menu: there'ssomething in it for everyone, but some of the dishes are not everyone'sfavorites...
If there's one thing the movie fan in me wanted more of, it's realinteraction between Reeves' and Karen Mok's characters. I would havewanted to see the sparks fly ;) But the more I think about it, the moreI realize that by not including that element, the team made the rightartistic decision which served the story, not the sheer entertainmentfactor. And that's a bold thing to do.
Well done, Mr.Reeves. very well done. Looking forward to the next one:)
Man of Tai Chi (2013) Review by Michel Blouin
Man of Tai Chi. I must say, this movie portrays everything Tai Chiteaches us about ourselves, our inner demons, and how easy it is toloose yourself once you achieve Power. How Control is even moreimportant then simply having great power. After Watching it I mustadmit, IMDb's review by davidvdb2 (Belgium) Signifies that MovieCritics do not know jack when it comes to the Spirit of Martial Artsand its Many uses. I urge you to see this movie, its not the greatest;But it has a valuable lesson that we must all learn while walking uponour own path to becoming a better Person, not just in Body, but inSpirit. Yin & Yang. Inner & Outer Form. Keanu Reeves Did his Homeworkand thus deserves an A+!
