Over the years, I've come to accept that an intelligent plot isn't always high on the priority list for many martial arts films, but rarely have I seen such a humongous pile of random claptrap as Blade of Kings. About two minutes into the film and I was completely lost, dumbfounded by the rapid succession of seemingly unconnected elements thrown at the viewer with little or no concern for narrative cohesion or logic.Amazonians who all look Chinese, the fabled sword Excalibur, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, the Star of Rex, the Lord of Armoury, The Haunted City, cave people with fake fangs, women with moustaches, men who turn into women, a mystical stone plaque, a really bad CGI hawk: just some of the nonsensical garbage that goes to make up what is easily the worst film to feature either Donnie Yen or Jackie Chan. Hell, I'm willing to bet that this must also be one of the lamest movies to star 'The Twins', Charlene Choi and Gillian Chung.Yen's fight against Chan (who plays a living statue) is, unsurprisingly, the highlight of the whole film, but when the rest of the kung fu is so lame, all enhanced by wires and crappy computer effects, that really isn't saying much. I'm not a quitter when it comes to bad films, but half an hour into this incomprehensible dreck and I have never been so sorely tempted to hit the stop button. 1/10

When I saw the trailer of "Fa Dou Daai Jin", I found it very attractive, with many special effects, wonderful landscapes and a nice cast and I decided to watch this movie on video. Unfortunately the screenplay is very silly and confused, never working as a comedy or an action movie. The acting is awful, especially Charlene Choi and her constant smile and Jaycee Chan. The name of Jackie Chan in the credits is only to attract his fans and sell the movie, since he has a very short participation of a few minutes. In the end, I found this boring movie a complete mess and waste of time. Directors Patrick Leung and Corey Yuen should know that a great budget and special effects alone do not make a good movie. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): "A Dinastia da Espada" ("The Dynasty of the Sword")

What a terrible film, i think Jackie Chan's sons career has ended before it even began. He's just retarded in comparison to his father, uglier, has no style, has no ability, is more sickening rather than cute... Storyline was awful. The twins although looking good, just don't make up for the poor movie, unfunny comedy scenes, strange characters for the given actors. I dunno whether the storyline was supposed to be funny or serious in that fact that the evil queen was turning men to women... a wasted all start cast in a flop of a movie. Worth watching just to see how bad it is. The movie looked fun to make, but it sure was no fun to watch.

The CGI effect and the costume and production value is certainly better than the first one thanks to the success of Vampire Effects. Though what this movie lack is some good male acting (except Daniel Wu) and the whole idea of the battle of sexes was lame. In the first movie i thought Jackie Chan cameo was hilarious in this one he was cool. The fight scene between him and Donnie Yen was awesome, i don't recall them fighting before. But wish they did. Experience actors like Ekin Cheng and Edisen Chen for sure did a whole better job than newcomer JC Chan and Wilson Chen. Those people lack emotion and very one dimensional at this point. This movie was boring thank largely to the twins acting and their cuteness. It was entertaining but the fight scene weren't has good has the first one (too much CGI). I have to say the first one edge out the second one in term of plot and more better actors. BTW Tony Leung Ka Fai (who particularly in half of the movies this years) did a terrific job in this movie, he's sooo funny. He need more of those roles like back in the 90s.
