SHAOLIN (Theatrical Release Hong Kong 2011)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.4|5.0 Starsìììì

Shaolin—exceptionally realistic fight scenes with flying scenes that are noticeably superior to flying scenes in other Chinese movies—relies on a great storyline and tells its story the way stories should be told. Good movie for Jackie Chan. This movie tells its story the way stories should be told. Definitely worth its watch.
