Heavenly Sword

Loved this Heavenly Sword movie & it has a great storyline to boot that is easy to follow, I totally enjoyed it all the way throughout, Though I do hope that they do make a Heavenly Sword two.

Must watch in Blueray. Amazing action sequence. Great Visual. Great Story.

In fact, it is an absolutely awful movie, with very few obvious redeeming qualities , outside of the somewhat rootable and empathetically voiced protagonist Kai.

Technically, Heavenly Sword ranges from weak to dreadful., constantly looking a movie or video game that came out 20 years too late. The editing is confused, the characters lack emotion and move stiffly, the colours are very flat , there are very obvious continuity errors and the backgrounds while the least bad of the animation are unimaginative and lack detail. The music sounds very random in placement, and stylistically it's either an ill-fit or completely misplaced.

With the writing, Heavenly Sword fares every bit as poorly and even more so. The writing sounds incredibly awkward (almost like gibberish) all the time, very shallow, very on-the-surface and there is a complete disconnect emotionally. The story had some decent, if rather clichéd, ideas, but executes all of them messily, with laborious pacing, unexciting and incoherently edited action , a constantly jumpy feel and a complete lack of depth as a result of not doing anything with the ideas it had.

Outside of Kai, the characters are flat in personality and fail to remotely engage, and voiced with little emotion, some of the voice actors don't even fit their roles. Not even a talented actor like Alfred Molina can save this., one of my biggest bugbears regarding films/movie/television is waste of talent, which this movie manages to do.

All in all, very poorly done. 2/10, and that is only for Kai. Bethany Cox

Heavenly Sword (2014) is a movie I recently watched for the first time in a long time on Tubi. The storyline follows a prophesy where the son of a king picks up the heavenly sword and saves the world from tyranny when an evil emerges. When the King is murdered the princess picks up the sword and seeks out her lost long brother in hopes of giving him the sword to fulfill the legend.

This movie is directed by Gun Ho Jang in his directorial debut and contains the voices of Thomas Jane (The Mist), Andy Serkis (Lord of the Rings), Anna Torv (Mindhunter), Ashleigh Ball (My Little Pony), Nolan North (Star Trek into the Darkness) and Renae Geerlings (Halloween II).

The storyline for this picture is entertaining and had potential. Unfortunately the animation was very mediocre and felt like video game cut scenes and wasn't always fluid and natural. The action scenes were uneven with some scenes better than others. As the movie progresses the fight scenes do get better.

Overall this is a below average addition to the genre that's not as good as it could have been. I would score this a 3.5/10 and recommend finding something better to watch.

The movie is great and graphics are really amazing.See it in FULL HD blu-ray on the best TV led are very impressive.I don't know how others saw this movie and saw bad graphics...the texture and expression or modeling was amazing,stunning.Only one thing was bad...the physics of the animation,speed-movement of characters was fast with bad accomplished but...still, it's a movie made it after a game, so what? I never play it Heavenly Sword and now i really want to play this game.The story are strong and dramatic and memorable prime character, Nariko.Of course, Kay are second and maybe forthcoming heroine...

I strongly recommend this movie, without great expectations but with some powerful pleasures...

Goodbye Nariko, peace be with with you!
