• THE STORM RIDERS (DVD)

  based on a chinese comic book; the story centers around two warriors; wind (who has powers to manipulate the wind; like a tornado) and cloud (who can control water) who eventually must confront the warlord conquer; the main villain (played by sonny chiba); who have trained and used them to conquer other lands. add to that bunch of flying kung fu / sword fights; melodrama; a love triangle; magic monkey; posessed arm; winding plot; some beautiful scenery; and you get a movie that works; feels; and as imaginative as comic books can get. characters are well-done and although the plot is a bit convoluted (but hey; it is from a comic); the movie continues to remain energetic and exciting. as kung fu fantasy movies go; the bigger-budget computerized visual effects are very well-done; one of the most stylish and creative i have seen; as it also opens up newer possibilities in action choreography. but other than that; it is always more fun to see non-hollywood films handle computer technology (let us face it; hollywood films only use it for explosions or morphing nowadays; no flying speed-kicks or multi-fist attacks). nevertheless; the visuals and the audio are excellent and of course; a very entertaining (and stylish) flick. (plenty action; less serious than (crouching tiger). if you liked x-men; you may like this even more)
