Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie, but I was pleasantly surprised. The nods and homages to classic Kung Fu movies are a fun add to an older style action movie. The fights were solid, the cinematography was crisp and clean, and then narrative was fun and engaging.
I've read some complaints around the fact that there wasn't enough fight scenes, but to be real, it was kind of nice to get a breath in and some character development instead of one, long, breathless fight scene that I think can be a bit exhausting.
All-in-all, I thought it was a lot of fun, a great movie to pop on with friends and cheer through. A great popcorn flick that will fill the need for those of us that loved 90's/00's actions movies that didn't need to be super serious or relentless to be enjoyable.

The acting and fighting is like watching bad wrestling mike work and match. Terrible just terrible. I couldn't watch this for more that 10 mins and now I have to go and bleach my eyeballs. It's like it was made by a high school media department. Unless it's supposed to be. Parody which it's clearly not. It's a serious movie with the worst most predictable plot in the world.

Some people just don't like to leave a 1/10 in ratings because there's always something worse (there is something worse than this movie somewhere out there sadly). These are the people that saves movies like this to show a solid 1 as a rarting.
Thanks to fake raters this got as high as 4.5. That's the only way this movie could have gotten a score over 2 from anyone.
My guess here would be that the 10/10's are either from the crew behind this lousy movie or that they just bought some scores (probably a mix of both).
There is (at the time of writing this) 3 full reviews of this movie. Two of them give it the 1/10 it deserves with perfect explanations to why and one give it a 10/10 with glowing review that in no way is what this movie give you.
Strangely the 10/10 reviewer have a name made up like from a bot, is a week old account and only ever made a review on this movie.
I think that says it all.
NOW THE ACTUAL REVIEW OF THE MOVIE: It's crap and isn't even worth the time of a review. If I could give it a minus 10 I would.

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.

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.
