Big Budget Balderdash - The Stormriders Trilogy review by CP Customer
With characters who go by such monikers as Wind, Cloud, Mud Buddha, Fire Monkey, Conquer, Charity, and so on, the only fight worthy of the name in this big budget stinker is the one at which character has the most laughable name. The special effects are anything but special, the fight scenes too short and far from spectacular and the plot has more holes than West Ham's defence. To top it all, halfway through the film it turns into a 5 minute MTV-like music video which I had to fast forward. I need to watch a Jackie Chan or Jet Li film to get rid of the horrible aftertaste.
Unfortunately, I must give it a 1 as there is no 0 available.
