a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Have you ever found yourself watching another absolute lemon and wondering how bad a film can be? Well, this offering answers the question. I would like to be able to critically evaluate its plot but I don't have the stomach for it. To describe it as infantile would be unmerited flattery. The dialogue? I can only assume it was written by a six year old afflicted with severe learning difficulties. The acting? I haven't seen anything as bad as this since .... actually I don't think I've ever seen anything as consistently and uniformly dreadful! Seeking desperately for something positive to say, I would accept that the martial arts sequences are reasonably well choreographed - but really, your time would be far better spent hiring an old Jackie Chan or Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. I've seen some real howlers in my time but this is without doubt a contender for the title of "Worst Film of All Time". Avoid it at any cost.

Silver Hawk is such a great movie, not overly dramatic or drudged up with too much blood or sex. In fact I don't remember seeing any of either. Michelle Yeoh is so cute and smart and funny, it's not dumb fun but it's so great to see a character who actually has lots of fun kicking butt, something which is usually seen as burdensome and depressing by most superheroes in movies and comics nowadays. Don't listen to anyone who says Michelle Yeoh is too old for this role, she doesn't look her age at all and she could've fooled me! I hate it when people think forty is over the hill, they are gravely mistaken; I think it's more of a sign of maturity and talent than the overpaid up-and-coming sluts on our silver screens today. The character is original, the costume is beautiful and not at all immodest. The music is just right and we are finally allowed the luxury of enjoying the fight scenes, totally real, beautifully choreographed and filmed so we can see it without getting a headache or feeling ripped off with up too close choppy filming. I think some of the voices are dubbed over but it doesn't bother me at all, they're all English speaking anyways. The bad guy isn't the most sinister, but he's bad enough for me, it's been so long since we've seen a villain with the classic motives of world domination and a viable method of doing so. Bad guys and superheroes don't have to be overdramatized for me to be entertained, they just have to have clear motivations and a simple sincerity. As far as any of the humor or lines coming off stale or lame-I've seen MUCH worse in movies made by people who speak English every day of the week. Silver Hawk is beautiful, strong, original, well made and modest. Ten stars and my recommendation if you like superheroine or superhero movies, martial arts and sci-fi.

Silver Hawk has the always great looking Michelle Yeoh playing an acrobatic superhero. The problem with this movie is that it has is no real suspense. The villain is strange without being interesting (like the villain in the James Bond misfire Die Another Day). Silver Hawk looks like a movie with too little script to run over 30 minutes, so there are action sequences put in to pad the running time. Michelle Yeoh works hard, the production values are good and the movie has a glossy, well-photographed look. Next time, maybe Michelle should play a mean hero who never smiles and who has commonplace problems, such as money problems. Rich masked superheroes in shiny uniforms don't cut it nowadays.

This is one of those near-matrix clones with its special effects and mighty leaps. Made in Hong Kong, and it can be noticed. The concept of movie making differs from the Hollywood ones, but not too much. I am sick and tired of those unrealistic leaps and movements, which were designed to Matrix. Those effects shouldn't be part of these ordinary action movies. I don't recommend this to anyone. ** out of *****
