Movie Reviews of Only the Strong
Movie Review: It's not great, but it's fun
Summary: 3 Stars
I got this movie via Netflix the other day and I have to be honest; this is not a good movie. It's predictable, the acting is bad, the production value is low, and it's pretty much a big cliche. With that said, I really liked it. It's unapologetic for its faults and is just a fun martial arts movie. If you like martial arts films, you'll enjoy this. If you're looking for something other than some guys kicking each other in the face, then you should probably give this one a pass.Movie Review: teaches real capoeria
Summary: 3 Stars
Yes , the movie is b rated, but the movie teaches a good lesson that capoeria is all about. This is a game, hits happen, get up and continue playing. This showed good examples of capoeria moves and styles. The hero was using Regional, while the villiean was using Angola. This is a good movie to watch to get a good idea of what capoeria is.Movie Review: gREAT SHOWCASE FOR mARK DACASCAS, don't expect that good of a movie
Summary: 3 Stars
This is oen of your favorite movies from back when you were 10, you probably remember it. Most of the characters seemed like they are dubbed even though this is an American movie. No real great fight scenes, but if you are one of those people who like Jet Li's the Master, then you will probably like this.Movie Review: good picture

Movie Review: Just because it's rare doesn't mean it's good.
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this movie expecting it to bring something new that I haven't seen in a movie before, the Brazilian fight-dance known as Capoeira. Because of the rarity of Capoeira in films I eagerly picked this movie up.
What I was greeted with was a painfully gruesome movie. I was saddened by the fact that, when viewed only once, this movie flat out sucked. While I did expect the acting and plot line to take a backseat to the fight scenes, they were just too painful to ignore. The villain (who, by some random freak chance, also knows Capoeira... go figure) is such an over the top, macho, "heterosexual", overdramatic character, my friend and I could not stop laughing.
This whole movie is laced with scenes where when they're not meant to be funny, they're hilarious. When they're supposed to be funny or light-hearted, they're annoying.
The only reason this movie gets a 2 is because the Capoeira is quite impressive in some scenes. I just wish the scenes of Capoeira hadn't been wasted on the main character teaching a bunch of smart-ass teenagers how to do the moves. The final fight scene between the hero and the villain even abandons the fighting style Capoeira altogether that is seen throughout the entire film and, instead, we see the two characters, tired and weary, flat out punching and kicking each other.
I wanted this movie to be a great movie because of the fighting style that it revolved around. It just so happened that the Capoeira fight scenes were not impressive enough to get over the glaring issues of the acting, dull plot line, and painful characters.
