Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
It is a performances centric movie
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
View MoreThe story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
View MoreThis show was awesome. Ernie Reyes, Jr. was a fantastic host, and the competitors were all great fighters. Even when they don't kick to the head, these guys go all out on each other, battling in inter-gender fights with no weight classes, enduring crippling kicks to the body, the legs, even the groin.The challenges were all very interesting, and would test the true skill of even the best martial artist.SPOILER ALERT: I was quite pleased that the Final Fu and the winner of the $25,000 was Ninjitsu and Tae Kwon Do stylist, and world forms and weapons champion Daniel Sterling. I was rooting for him all along, and I knew he could do it.
View MoreI watched the show for the first time the other day after my sister told me about it. I've been a martial artist for 15 years and I'm a third degree black belt. I thought the show was very entertaining. I've read a lot of peoples mixed comments. I've found the majority of them to be negative. This is not surprising to me. In the time I've been involved with martial arts I've found that martial artists in general are highly critical creatures. I respect Ernie Reyes Jr. and his fathers work. From just the one episode that I saw I was impressed by the level of athleticism displayed by the competitors. The fights were exciting. Although I would've at the very least liked kicks to the head to be legal. But in typical MTV fashion bloodied up Ken and Barbie dolls would have tarnished their polished image. I thought the show represented traditional martial arts in an entertaining but tasteful manner. If this show inspires someone to take up martial arts where they otherwise wouldn't have, then it's positive and should be around for a long time.
View MoreI found this show very entertaining and addictive. I am a martial artist myself from Master Ernie Reyes Jr's father's school. While some people seem to believe that the judges are bias from my personal experience they are judging correctly. The show is different from other "reality" show which I cannot stand. The show closely reflects the teachings of martial arts and is entertaining in general. as a martial artist I find points in the show funny and the fights are really good. There are times when I get a little upset at some of the contestants but overall the show is fantastic and I would recommend it to everyone martial artist or other wise.
View MoreIt's nice to see a reality show/competition that focuses on the competition and not the drama. Give me more!! The only thing is I was hoping to see some Chinese stylists on. I know there are 3 more weeks and plenty more fighters to show up. It would be cool to see this go beyond one season, too. I haven't followed his martial arts career for some time but I do remember seeing Master Reyes in a few movies. It's amazing how much he resembles his father, now. If anyone else reads this and they agree with me please take a few minutes and let MTV know how you feel. Do the traditional stylists a favor and help rescue us from the all powerful UFC.
