    Fun genre-pic from Ryo Seung Wan that delivers what it promises.

    Arahan is not the type of movie to take seriously. It seem's like an adaption of an anime. The plot is silly, but they do deliver some goods with the action.

    Acting was decent but I didn't see anything. The cast was actually good, because these guys were great fighters. So-yi ...( read more)Yoon was super hot. The characters were alright, but what bothered me was the crappy plot. It was totally silly.

    What really makes this film decent is the action and fighting. The martial arts is incredible. They're well edited and choreographed with a good vision.

    This delivers the goods when there is an action scene. Not for anyone who wants a serious film. It's an ok movie.

    7 masters of TAO have a power of QI, but they only 5 left, so they have 2 be POWER RANGER... hehehe... very FUNNY.

    Overrated in the press I would say. It is enjoyable but not as great as they make out. The comedy in part may have lost something in translation.
