How sad is this?

Boring

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The plot was too obvious, plain and the way all the symbolism was used was overt. This is what I hate the most about movies. I cannot see the point for making this movie. The characters were not developed and there was no chemistry between them. The only chemistry built was between the character portrayed by Billy Zane and the other characters. Terrible acting, apart from Billy Zane, and no I am not a fan of him. He was the only one who did the best job on this movie and put effort and talent in it. Oh man, and all the stunt wires clearly visible, as if the stunt coordinator was too lazy to notice. I give 3 because despite plenty of trash movies on TV (e.g. "The Hangover") "The Invicibles" is the movie worth watching and +1 is for Billy Zane's good job. Basically, I can say this movie is about New Age movement.

I was drawn to this movie by the fact Jet Li was involved with it. As a big fan of his work I know he always pulls off a great movie. The storyline seemed interesting as well, combining my favourites of action and make-believe.The overall theme of Good and Love overcoming all evil is, one might say, an overused plot line but this had great potential. It was focused around two groups, the evil Shadowmen and the Good Elements. The Elements though were super evolved humans, chosen before birth but in a twist they were lead by a reformed Shadowman, Os. Not just any reformed Shadowman either but the most black hearted of them all, who killed one of the elements and best friend to the leader of the Shadowmen.The basic story is the Shadowmen want to destroy the earth to return home and Os has just 6 days to locate and train the remaining 4 elements to stop him. However it was poorly done. The fight scenes were brief and sloppy as well as being few and far between. There was too much dialogue in this movie and the message of Love overcoming all evil was pounded into you from the first second and quite frankly made you sick of the whole concept. By the end I wanted the Shadowmen to win just to stick it to Os, who came across as a tree-hugging hippie type character.Luckily I only bought this for a couple of quid but I am shocked that Jet Li even came within 1000 ft of this movie. I was severely disappointed with this and suspect that it would have been more enjoyable had I seen it a few years ago when I was unable to judge or care about how good a film was presented.I would only recommend you watch this if it costs you nothing to do so. A severe let down.

I have seen hundreds of martial arts movies, old and new, poor and sweet. I saw the front cover, billy zane + sword = NICE. Looked at the review on the back, something along the lines of those 'fighting that puts the Matrix to shame' sort of dumb. All be it (or is it one word) it was a while since i saw it, i can remember a few good bits but. 1. There was ONE i think decent martial artist in this film, the rest of them were slow, as was the actual fighting. And it was simple and bland 2. The seemed to be an eternity of training, fighting training? oh no sitting in rooms doing spiritual training trying to forget horrid things that happened in their past......zzzzzzzzz. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FIGHT.Anyway if like me u want a martial arts movie don't see this - 3/10 If you want a compelling lively story don't see this - 3/10 If u want to add this to 'films i have seen' then see it 3/10 for sheer underachievement and boredom

WARNING: MAY CONTAIN SPOILER INFORMATION FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT WATCHED THIS MOVIE BEFORE First off I give this movie 10 out of 10 stars. I liked this movie the first time I saw it on TV. I watch it every chance I get. I like the graphics and how they are similar to the ones used in "The Matrix". It tells of four ordinary people who are offered a chance at new lives when their old ones would have led to bad ends. They are each an element of the earth and have to learn to use their powers in becoming protectors of life. They have to defeat the ones who would destroy all life by uniting their strengths and powers together.I liked watching how they learn to work together and learning about the characters life stories. I also think their supernatural powers are cool since they can do things with them.
