A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Great movie that put Stephen Chow on the market. Mix of kung-fu movie, football and comedy. In all three sections, she is successful. Chow who has a pretty good kung-fu domain without being Jet Li, and combines it perfectly with his excellent skills for humor is removed from the sleeve one of the funniest Asian movies I've ever seen. And it is not easy to take humor from Orientals. The serious faces of Chow when he is saying a nonsensical comment are great. It also plays in its favor the gang of secondary that has been sought and that maintain the level of humor of the film. That way you can not get enough of Chow. That is the best thing for a comedy, that not all the scenes of humor fall on the same type, well it does not become weary. Separate mention for how well Chow includes the music in the film for both the scenes of the parties and for the comic scenes. As for the football scenes ... INCREDIBLE. Its spectacularity makes Captain Tsubasa look ridiculous. The parties are raised almost as if they were an action movie and special effects. It's worth watching the movie if only for this. A pleasant surprise, since one was not expecting much of a thing titled Shaolin Soccer as it is logical.The best: The final match against the Evil Team. The worst: Your title can scare many people.The phrase: I did not come to fight ... I came to play.- Stephen Chow.

While this shares some of the wonderful sense of the surreal and absurd that made Chow's 2008 "Kung Fu Hustle" a true classic comedy spoof of marshal arts films, it's nowhere near as consistent or as inventive in it's comedy. There are some real laughs, but also some serious dead spots and too-easy jokes in this tale of a bunch of once Shaolin trained Kung Fu masters giving up their hum-drum and largely unsuccessful work-a-day lives to team up and become the mightiest soccer playing force the world has ever seen. Or are they? Team Evil is waiting to take them on in the $1 million soccer tournament. Good-hearted and original enough to be worth seeing once, but unlike it's even wilder and smarter descendant I can't imagine feeling a need to go back and see it again, or to own it. If that later film is like a Hong Kong action Monty Python film, this one is more Three Stooges.

Shaolin Soccer If wars were settled at the World Cup, there's a high probability the world's economy would be in the hands of a country affected by the European debt crisis.Fortunately, the country kicking soccer balls in this action/comedy is well heeled.Interested in spreading the virtues of kung fu, Shaolin monk Sing (Stephen Chow) sets out to incorporate the combat technique with soccer.With the help of a former footballer Golden Leg (Ng Man Tat), Sing assembles a sad squadron of monks and street-thugs that he conditions into Team Shaolin.Using their physics defying soccer moves to secure a spot in a prestigious tournament, Team Shaolin must face-off against the US super-serum enhanced Team Evil.A slapstick underdog comedy combined with a versus style video game aesthetic, Shaolin Soccer is a unique and enthralling experience.Thankfully, Team Shaolin did not have to face-off against the flaming monks of Team Tibetan.Green Light vidiotreviews.blogspot.com
