Shaolin Ratings & Reviews
Movie Metropolis
James Plath
One of those films that impresses you, even though it fails to set itself apart from other films in the genre.
Shockya.com
Brent Simon
Ambitiously staged set pieces fall victim to portentous technique, creating an ultimately irreconcilable chasm between how much one wants to like this movie and how much they actually do.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Jackie Chan brings some warm energy to his supporting role -- a rarity for this big star -- and turns in a delightfully self-effacing performance.
Boxoffice Magazine
Nick Schager
Frequently gripping and featuring a surprisingly spry supporting turn by Jackie Chan, it's a sturdy if unremarkable effort.
Boxoffice Magazine
Paul Clinton (Boxoffice)
Shaolin is simultaneously regal and stilted, stirring and sluggish.
Film Journal International
Daniel Eagan
Large-scale melodrama is short on action and long on histrionics.
Dallas Morning News
Gary Dowell
An ambitious, almost epic drama that devotes as much time to introspection as it does to combat.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
This rousing Shaolin is notable for the compassionate Buddhist philosophy that underpins what otherwise might have been just another Hong Kong period piece.
New York Times
Rachel Saltz
"Shaolin" fits in the more somber kung-fu tradition. But it also finds room for the genre's comic strain.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
The epic feel to this Hong Kong action-drama helps balance a lack of hand-to-hand combat scenes.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
More action, less talk should be the order of the day, but it isn't.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
Shaolin features a half-dozen impressive action set pieces, including an elaborate carriage chase and a battle inside the cages where Cao imprisons his workers.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
The kung fu itself is great fun to watch, from the discipline of balancing on one foot on a wooden pillar, the other in the air, for hours at a time to the confrontations that send fist and feet flying.
Honolulu Star-Advertiser
Burl Burlingame
This is not a subtle film, and certainly not a great one, but it's made with bubbling brio and it's spectacular to look at. It's action filmmaking of the highest order.
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
This crude, overlong chunk of kung-fu kitsch lays its scene in a 1920s Republican China, torn by internecine fighting and weighed down by drably expensive production design.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
Benny Chan's kung-fu film Shaolin both benefits from and is ultimately defeated by its own epic ambitions.
ColeSmithey.com
Cole Smithey
"Shaolin" compares favorably with the biggest blockbuster Hollywood has to offer.
The Hollywood Reporter
Maggie Lee
A well-mounted but soft-edged reinterpretation of a martial arts classic that gives precedence to drama over action.
Variety
Russell Edwards
Well-mounted Chinese-Hong Kong martial-arts co-production Shaolin elevates enlightenment above brute strength, but weak helming undercuts the pic's punch.
