The Four

This movie is an unapologetic Wuxia film; swordsmanship, kung-fu, and magic on very side. It doesn't transcend the genera, but it is among the very best examples of it. Other reviewers have noted that there is some skimping on the character development, and that is true, but Wuxia is not a style that goes in for much character development beyond certain basic archetypes. Furthermore, as the Wikipedia entry on the film notes, the novels this film is based on have already been adapted to television several times, in Hong Kong, so the target audience already knows these people. We Westerners are just going to have to catch up.If you are looking for historical accuracy, or realistic fighting, or shakespearean eloquence, then you have come to the wrong place. But if you are looking for top-flight fantasy fun, well shot, well acted, with thrilling fights and glorious special effects, then by no means pass this one up.

Was well worth watching. Effects are very well done and the acting was just as good.For comparison sake I would have to say this movie is equal in production to movies such as "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" and "The Forbidden Kingdom"... etc.Though the fist half of the movie jumped right over character development(Lacked in good introduction), it did not take away from the overall experience.Glad I took the chance with this one.. "thoroughly enjoyed it".

I absolutely love this movie! I have watched it so many times and each time I enjoy it as much as the first time. If you like magic/mysticism, suspense and entertainment, you'll love this movie!

This was a very good and entertaining movie. I'm a kung fu buff so any good kung fu movie I would love to sit down and just watch the action. It would help if they would make all movies in english that are sold in the United States. I don't like spending time trying to read the translation. I spend a lot of time re-playing different scenes that I missed while trying to read the translations.

I went into this movie expecting to see lots of bad guys get punched in the face, and I was not disappointed. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised by how attractive the cast was and how cute the puppy was. Those are, in fact, the three reasons to see this movie: you want to see zombies get kicked in the face until their heads explode, you think the cast is hot, or you like adorable puppies. Otherwise, don't expect a cinematic masterpiece.

Full of magic, the supernatural and of course fighting. I didn't think I was going to like it, but I didn't just like it I loved it.Most of the characters are well fleshed out...well...except the undead. Loved the cinematics. Just a fun and exciting movie to watch.

LOVE THE CONCEPT, PLOT AND STORY LINE. GOOD ARRAY OF CHARACTERS AND VERY GOOD FIGHT SCENES. VERY GOOD MIX OF MARTIAL ARTS, FANTASY AND MAGIC. I HAVEN'T SEEN MANY MOVIES WHERE THE DEAD ARE RESURRECTED TO FIGHT. ESPECIALLY LOVE THAT CONCEPT. AND IT'S NOT OVER THE TOP. DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVORITES.

This is based on the Manhua (Chinese Comicbook) The Four Constables. This movie was very well done. What holds me back for giving 5 stars is that its hard to tell their story in just one movie. Also they changed one of the main characters to a woman. This change actually destroys 2 of the main heroes back stories in a bad way. If you want to see a better adaption get TVB TV series... also named "The Four" but I also suggest the comicbook. Its just awesome!!!

Ein spannender, unterhaltsamer , action geladener Film mit viel material-Arts, fantasievoll und fantastischen Schauspielerinnen und Schauspieler ich würde mich riesig freuen wenn die anderen beiden Teile auch ins deutsche Synchronisiert werden würden .kann Film nur weiter empfehlen
