Kung Fu Games

Ive been following Marks career for a long time now and seeing him grow as an action actor has been a ride!!!!

Finaly we get to see him rise to the occasion in this starring role

Seeing him star in this kung fu classic is awesome

The film is full of that classic kung fu style of fighting with a nostaglic feeling to it.

The sets and lighting all play a role in this fun action flick.

The film starts and ends with non stop fighting action and takes you on a martial journey that shows the story of a group of seasoned warriors all fighting for survial in a crazy game of kung fu

book a seat and take the ride.

When I sat down to watch the 2024 action movie "Kung Fu Games", from director Ryan C Jaeger, here in 2025, I have to admit that I wasn't exactly harboring the biggest of expectations. Yeah, the movie just sort of permeated low budget all over. But with it being a movie that I had neither heard about nor watched, of course I opted to give the movie a fair chance and the benefit of the doubt.

The script and storyline was flaccid. I was not particularly entertained by what writers H. Daniel Gross and Ryan C Jaeger managed to concoct.

I was not familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie. But the acting performances were adequate enough for what it was. ANd I actually do enjoy watching new and unfamiliar talents on the screen.

I've seen my fair share of questionable ninja costumes over the years. Yeah, I watched a lot of ninja movies back in the 1980s. And this 2024 movie has golden ninjas in it. Golden.

The action and fighting sequences were fair, but nothing extraordinary.

It was a struggle to sit through the ordeal that is "Kung Fu Games", and I was ready to toss the towel in the ring several times throughout the course of the 98 minutes that the movie ran for. But I endured it to the end, hoping the movie would become better. It just never did.

My rating of director Ryan C Jaeger's 2024 movie "Kung Fu Games" lands on a three out of ten stars.

I don't know where to begin. This movie is as dumb as it looks. I honestly do not understand why it was made. What was the market it was intended for? Who was the intended audience? These are questions that need to be answered.

Every once in a while I come back to the idea that Hollywood has the best business potential for money laundering schemes and this film reminds me of why that is. A Corp is set up to make the film, the dirty money slid under the table to the distributor, the distributor buys the film with the dirty money and sends it back to the dirty investors. Now the money is clean. That's the only explanation I can think of why this film exists. Literally nothing else makes sense.

I really do not understand the overly negative, borderline hateful reviews here - after seeing them I went into this movie with low expectations, expecting a potentially painful experience (I'm not even a Kung Fu fan!), and I mean it when I say I GENUINELY, had a really great time from start to finish! It was truly a fun time! It left me feeling like they had somehow seen a different movie than me.

Sure, the plot is not exactly unexplored territory, but isn't this film supposed to be an homage to its namesake/genre? It seems to me it did that well - fun fight scenes, a little heart and levity mixed in, a plot and setting that was an interesting and enjoyable vehicle for cool fighting and interesting characters. It did its job!

Don't let these reviews scares you. I never write reviews and the vitriol in these contrasted with what I watched really compelled me to take the time to do this one. You should ignore these and give the movie a go -- I laughed, I cheered and overall had a great time which is all I really ask of a movie!

This is SO bad that it physically hurts!

Why in the world would any grown up person participate in such junk!

The acting, the story, it's so painful to watch!

I lasted 3 minutes, then I just had to go and wash my face. It's like small children at the age of 5 playing something after just having watched some stupid kung-fu movie.

"Kung Fu Games" is a lackluster attempt at a martial arts film that fails to deliver on every front. With its uninspired performances, poor choreography, and a convoluted plot, it's a movie best avoided. Save your time and money for something that actually entertains.
