The cast is luring but the story... not so much.
It actually starts quite interesting. A bunch of rebels plan to free their leader from prison and kill the king who doesn't have the right to be on the throne in their eyes. And only one prison guard is strong enough to oppose them.

The biggest problem of the movie is its lack of explanation. Even though there's some information given in the beginning, it still fails to bond with the audience because the characters are not introduced enough. Some pretty stereotype figures who all seem to come from an action adventure game. And the build-up is not that far away either. You have your superhero who has to fight his way through a bunch of enemies who get stronger by the person. He gets tired pretty early on and suffers one wound after another but he still manages to beat the strongest opponents. What I missed here was an excuse for his identity that would explain at least a bit of his outstanding strength.

Martial arts are really good, and I can't complain about them one bit. But the story was lacking and almost every character was not introduced enough to either sympathize with or despise them. The most disappointed character for me was the king who had a short appearance where he looked rather crazy than goodhearted.

It's also such a shame that the lack in the character writing didn't give the cast an opportunity to make their figures shine. There was so much potential. And in the end, the only one who remained likable in my eyes was our superhero.

Recommended with reservation. Only if you're very deep into the cast and a fan of martial arts.

"Age of Bood" was an okay movie.


The story was interesting as an idea and there were some solid scenes here and there, but the presentation of the events and the character was just not good. That's why the result was flat. The action scenes, however, were good. The visuals were top notch as well.


In addition the performances were great. Especially the lead actor was extra good, with excellent action scenes. The ending was emotional and deep too.


So, overall, six out of ten.
