Leave your thoughts about Tai Chi Zero.
| Examiner.comChris SawinTai Chi Zero is constantly evolving and changing as a film. It's as if it completely redefines what a dynamic martial arts film can and should be. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoTai Chi Zero is loads of fun to watch, especially a battle in which watermelons, bananas and other fruits and veggies serve as flying weapons. |
| AV ClubNoel MurrayThe story's fundamentals remain solid, and the battle between the village of kung-fu experts and an army of 19th century technophiles is so cleverly staged and exciting that the inevitable sequel (already in the works) will be welcome, as will any future martial-arts movies that Tai Chi Zero may inspire. |
| TV GuideJason BuchananAn energetic martial-arts romp with a stylish steampunk twist, Tai Chi 0 assaults the viewer with frenetic fight scenes, audacious video-game-inspired graphics, and nearly enough goofball humor to have it qualify as a comedy. |
| The PlaylistOliver LytteltonIt won't linger in the mind longer than it takes for the credits to roll, but it's a lot of fun while it lasts, and we're genuinely looking forward to part 2 at this point. |
| Flixist.comMatthew RazakThe true gist is a kung fu movie for the modern age: jam packed full of the hyper kinetic stimuli of an ADHD generation. |
| Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniTai Chi Zero, the first film in a planned trilogy, will leave hard-core fight enthusiasts wanting. But it's a droll, pleasant diversion all the same. |
| Houston PressJef RounerIt's one of the strangest films I've ever seen, but Tai Chi Zero is also without a doubt one of the absolute best. |
| East Bay ExpressKelly VanceLavishes much care on the scenario, but the nonstop CGI could be a drawback for purists. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekSplashy but ultimately an empty bauble...By the halfway point you'll likely be more exhausted than exhilarated. |
