Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: "Shaolin" fits in the more somber kung-fu tradition. But it also finds room for the genre's comic strain.
Fresh: Well-mounted Chinese-Hong Kong martial-arts co-production Shaolin elevates enlightenment above brute strength, but weak helming undercuts the pic's punch.
Fresh: The kung fu itself is great fun to watch, from the discipline of balancing on one foot on a wooden pillar, the other in the air, for hours at a time to the confrontations that send fist and feet flying.
Rotten: A well-mounted but soft-edged reinterpretation of a martial arts classic that gives precedence to drama over action.
