Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Isbel 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.

Charles Herold (cherold) I think a lot of people just love badly plotted Hong Kong films with cheesy, unconvincing action. The ecstatic reviews here for this movie are proof of that. But I don't just like cheesy movies simply because they are cheesy, and need a basic level of competence to enjoy something.The story, which is a mishmash of loosely strung together ideas that don't make any particular sense, involves three women with martial arts skills. One is in thrall to an evil weirdo, one helps the cops out, and the most interesting, played by Maggie Cheung, is a brassy mercenary. They fight, they team up, they make speeches, and it's all just terrible.A lot of the user reviews say that, whatever the lack of merit in the story, the film is redeemed by its great action scenes. To which I reply, huh? The action is terrible. That scene people seem to love where "wonder woman" runs along telephone wires? It's completely unconvincing; poor wire-fu that is unconvincing even without that discipline. Using slow-mo and quick shots, there's little indication that anyone has any martial arts experience (except Cheung, who looks pretty good), and you could easily cast grade-school children in the roles and get the same effect.If movies like Hero represent how amazing wire-fu action can be, The Heroic Trio just as ably represents how poorly it can be done.The one ingenious moment in the film, the final fight, is undone by some of the most terrible special effects I have ever seen in the history of motion pictures. Seriously, I've seen better special effects in films by high school students.The three actresses are pretty and probably can act (I saw a reasonably competently dubbed version, which means I can't really judge the acting), but the script and the action make this a complete waste of time. Unless you just want to see something really, really cheesy, in which case this is definitely the movie for you.

Leofwine_draca THE HEROIC TRIO is one of those outlandish fantasy movies churned out by Hong Kong film producers in the 1990s; you know, the ones that are jam-packed with crazy effects, more wirework than in a sieve factory, larger-than-life characters and a distinct disregard for realism. It's entertaining enough, if no classic, winning on the strength of its cast and anything-goes style plotting alone.The storyline is a bizarre mix of invisible baby-snatchers, masked crime-fighting heroines, an evil religious cult, and a young and lithe Anthony Wong playing a bad guy. The narrative ebbs and flows, sometimes stretching the patience but often rewarding the viewer with a typically silly stunt or crazed fight scene involving all manner of weird shenanigans. The ending, which borrows a certain sequence from THE TERMINATOR, is a particularly engaging piece of action which has to be seen to be believed.The cast help to make this one worthwhile, with Anita Mui contributing one of her more likable performances while Michelle Yeoh has fun with a multi-layered role. Maggie Cheung is the weakest link, as ever, but the rest of the participants are good so it's easy to forgive her less-than-stellar and ultimately cheesy performance. The most surprising thing is that Johnnie To directed; to me, he's best known as the director of a series of hard-knuckle police and gangster thrillers, not this kind of lightweight nonsense.

crossbow0106 Let me give you three reasons to watch this film right off the bat: Maggie Cheung, Anita Mui and Michelle Yeoh. They all look sexy and amazing in this film. The story is about the kidnapping of male infants for the purpose of choosing the next emperor in an underground world. The plot is a bit convoluted. You really can't follow this film perfectly. Although you know who the kidnapper is, its hard to distinguish a few of the roles here. Then again, checking your brain at the door to watch this visually stunning film is worth it alone. The effects are pretty good, and I'll say it again: These three look terrific. Thats what a lot of this film is about. This is not Charlie's Angels, a few of these ladies are bad. I watched this on Cablevision HD in dubbed English, but you should opt for the subtitled version. A sequel, "Executioners" (it was inevitable) came from this. Mindless fun, so enjoy.

Pickett-San People are mixed on this film. Granted the production values are not consistent with the current era of CGI and big dollar Hollywood films, but it is entertaining. Three strong, yet femine and very attractive characters are shown in an assortment of surreal fighting sequences. As bizarre as this is to state, this movie feels more like it is capturing someones dream/nightmare. It seems more like something you would imagine in a hallucinatory dream sequence during a very deep sleep. I personally like the move because it does look original and different than the current superhero movie action.
