Leave your thoughts about Shaolin.
| Film Journal InternationalDaniel EaganLarge-scale melodrama is short on action and long on histrionics. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldGeorge PalathingalA thoroughly satisfying period action flick with heart and soul; a wholesome step on the path to cinematic enlightenment. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey"Shaolin" compares favorably with the biggest blockbuster Hollywood has to offer. |
| Movie MetropolisJames PlathOne of those films that impresses you, even though it fails to set itself apart from other films in the genre. |
| VarietyRussell EdwardsWell-mounted Chinese-Hong Kong martial-arts co-production Shaolin elevates enlightenment above brute strength, but weak helming undercuts the pic's punch. |
| Hollywood ReporterMaggie LeeDirected with feeling for its richly layered protagonists, the film is elevated by its emotional complexity but simultaneously dragged down by the relative shortage of propulsive, hardcore action. |
| New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleyJackie Chan's cameo as a monastery cook is a tiny joy. To see Chan use his once-great physical skill on a hunk of bread dough is to see a giant work in miniature. |
| Shockya.comBrent SimonAmbitiously staged set pieces fall victim to portentous technique, creating an ultimately irreconcilable chasm between how much one wants to like this movie and how much they actually do. |
| Honolulu Star-AdvertiserBurl BurlingameThis is not a subtle film, and certainly not a great one, but it's made with bubbling brio and it's spectacular to look at. It's action filmmaking of the highest order. |
| New York TimesRachel SaltzIf the movie feels old-school (with new-school production values), consider its pedigree. It's no wonder: Shaolin is a reimagining of the 1982 "Shaolin Temple," in which Jet Li made his debut. |
