bizarre, but engaging

I agree with many reviewers when I say "What the hell is this movie on?" Black mask versus a giant brain versus evil wrestling mutants? Very strange. But in the end I think that's a good thing.

You're not going to see many movies like this. For its uniqueness alone it earns 4 stars in my book. While not nearly as good as the original Black Mask (the loss of Jet Li doesn't help) it is a heckuva lot weirder. The story seems cobbled together from different elements, but they still managed to make something coherent.

Tsui Hark's direction is always more interested in being cool than clear, and here it shows. The action scenes can be hard to follow. But how many mutant martial art movies are there? Guyver 1 & 2 are the only ones that come to mind. This movie is better than Guyver 1, not nearly as good as Guyver 2.

But a unique film experience and well worth seeing if only for the "Wow, did that snake guy just swallow a security guard?" moments.

Hi, My name is Rob Van Dam, and I'm not really an actor . .

ok, nice touch trying to tie wrestling to a movie that had nothing to do with it in the first place, but it didn't work that well. The only wrestler that was even remotely good as an actor was Adam Copeland (Edge) and he didn't even get that big of a part in the first place. It's not that great of a movie, but it's fun if you like bad movies with 'alternative' casting.

Not what you might expect

okay, i have watched this movie a couple of times, and i cannot disagree that it is terrible. however, i think it is one of those movies which is so utterly pitiful that it becomes comical.
there really isn't any redeeming quality to this whole movie; acting, special effects, choreography, character development, plot, ect. - all bad.
Thing is they are over the top bad, so when you watch it the first time don't go into it thinking that it will be some great martial arts movie like the first, otherwise you'll just be bitterly disappointed. Instead, you should watch this for the goofy action and ridiculous storyline, then its entertaining. I like to get a large group of friends together and watch bad movies like this to laugh sometimes.
