Little Big Soldier

Little Big Soldier-S0E0

What the hell is wrong with filmmakers these days? WHY must the hero always die? I hate those kind of movies, it automatically makes the movie awful in my eyes. Jackie, i love you man, but seriously, if this picks up, all my respect for you disappears like the garbage into the garbage-chute. The story was amazing, the stunts and fighting scenes as well. And yet, it HAD to be ruined by the main character dieing? "It gives depth"? Bullshit it does, it gives a small hint of cheesy story writing that almost stink like they did not know where to go with the story. What next? Will Lu Bu die and then awake 3 days later and go to heaven?

Great movie and my favorite jackie chan of all-time could've been a little more be it action sequences since it's jackie but other than that it's an A+ movie with a good story where jackie proves himself a man rather than the coward he portrays throughout the movie also love the music even though I can't understand it's great

little big soldier is a solid action comedy for sure, but after reading loads of reviews saying how this was jackie chans best movie in years, i went in expecting a masterpiece, and i didn't get it, the movie looks expensive and is very nice to look at, and some of the action scenes are really top notch, but anybody expecting a fight fest like the usaul chan fare will be very dissopionted. as chan is very much the underdog here, and really isn't a good fighter. the comedy here is funny, and it has an ending that will be shocking, and surprising. the movie has a lot to recommend, and it is very well made, but its far from perfect, and at times it drags, and there are long bursts without action. never the less this is still a decent jackie chan movie, and is definitely worth a watch

I do not know what evil spirit pervaded the good people of IMDb but this film is everything except a comedy. Little Big Soldier is the reason why i no longer watch Jackie Chan films. It is the story of a farmer drafted into an army, thrown about by events greater than him, as he struggles to help in winning the war, but fails miserably. For some reason, Chan managed to show incredible depth here, so much that when i saw this film i understood that the slapstick comedy of the 90s was over and he was going to finally unite Wuxia with real acting, but again, no, that didn't happen. I guess comedy pays better. I do recommend Little Big Soldier, it's *very* well made, profound, has a story we can understand, or even relate to, and is not afraid to throw punches. My vote: 7.5/10 - cultural differences detract from the enjoyment of an otherwise excellent film

You will probably find "Little Big Soldier" entertaining as long as you know what you will expect. Anyone who thinks that Jackie Chan in this movie will be kicking butt throughout will be disappointed. In fact, he only has ONE scene where he displays his trademark expert fighting skills, and that sequence is a dream sequence! His character here is more of a normal person. Still, there's still plenty to entertain audiences. Chan does well playing a more normal person who was drafted into a war he didn't want to participate in. There is plenty of action and comic relief, though there is a dark undertone throughout, including a clear anti-war message. If there is anything to object about the movie, I would say that it is the cinematography. For some reason, the movie was photographed in a way that has all the colors washed out, and it doesn't look very attractive. Fortunately the positive attributes found in the movie compensate for the ugly visual look.

I was expecting a good movie, but it was far from being good. The journey in this was just dull and boring for the most part. The humor in this sort of works but it just didn't know which direction it wanted to go with this. One of the main reason I decided to check this movie out is because it has Yoo Seung Jun in it, who use to be a popular Korean star until he neglected his military service. But anyways his charisma really shows in this and his acting was alright and he did the best he could with what he was given. Another negative is it's pacing is also pretty bad and just seems out of nowhere at times. The fight sequences aren't even that good and there is nothing memorable about it. Except maybe still watching the old Jackie still jumping around and evading attacks. I give this movie a 4 because I thought the ending was alright, maybe because it was sort of unexpected. 4/10

Be forewarned that while there are comic moments in the film, it is primarily a dark film about innocents being caught up in a war outside of their control. Jackie Chan plays a farmer who was drafted into his kingdom's army. He is the last surviving member of his family and wants nothing more than to return to the land and raise a family. He survives a horrible battle and captures the enemy general. If he can get the general back to the capital, he can get five acres of land as a reward and become a farmer again. It is one of Jackie Chan's best performances but don't go expecting Shanghai Knights. Beautifully photographed with a compelling story line it is, in the end a melancholy film.

I would recommend this film to any one who is after a comedy for the night, Before i saw this film i was wary of it because of films I've seen with shabby Chinese - English conversion, or just terrible Chinese matrix styled martial art films, and i am glad I've been proved wrong. From the start to the end it is pact with Action and Humor. Jackie Chan is a sleek as ever with his strange ability to use the environment to his advantage in brawls and his strange antiques are as fine tuned as ever, ontop of this, his comedy is a fine as it ever has been, he pulled this off well and truly. I also though how the film ended was brilliant, i don't want to spoil it, so take my word, the ending couldn't be any better. In my opinion i would say this is in the top 10 films I've seen this year.

Jackie Chan, graverobber...? Indeed- and it's one of his finest performances ever. Chan is learning how to mellow with age, and LITTLE BIG SOLDIER enables him to rely more on his carefully-honed acting skills than his death-defying antics. (Surprisingly, there's a cgi/wirework sequence here, but it turns out to be nothing more than a dream sequence- thankfully.) Chan's funnier than ever, too. He wears a fake arrow-through-the-chest rig that comes in handy when he's captured. The barbarian bandits are easily the coolest characters we've seen this side of the original Robert E. Howard CONAN stories (which are NOT to be confused with the alleged "feature films") (nor the live-action nor the cartoon teleshows). When a captured general escapes, Chan, as "Samll Potato," observes: "Just a general. Next time, I'll catch a king." There are some GREAT locations throughout LITTLE BIG SOLDIER and the ending is very dramatic, indeed. Another winner.
