Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

jackchan292000 When my father introduced me to the Jet Li movies I choose 'Shaolin Temple'. The second movie I choose was 'Kids From Shaolin'. I like this movie and I think the Kung Fu is great especially Jet lo and the other children's. It has a lot of comedy and great action. I like the end where the good guys and the bad guys fight together. The bad guys look scary especially the part where one of them stabs the other one with a spear on the other and his not dead! When Jet Li's sister drys to stab the bad guy his not dead. But jet lo's brother shoots the bad guy with a rock and the bad guy is dead. It was a tough fight between the good guys and the bad guys but at the end the good guys won and i like the part where the good guys throw the bad guy at the river. it was really funny.

jonspain Many of my friends who I have convinced to check this movie out are ready to chase me out the house after watching the opening scene and singing, but after watching the fight scenes they usually gain a little more respect for the movie. Although many of the same actors showed up from the original Shaolin Temple, the storyline is completely different, and the tone of part 2 is lighthearted, which may turn many off. This movie is one of my all-time favorite martial arts films because I haven't found many films that highlight young children sparring off (besides the "My Father is a Hero" boy who's name I forgot) and I personally love to see the women get in the action. The last fight scene is great, but what did it for me was the children's competition. Seeing them play fight in animal styles was magic. A good movie, my friends who hated on this movie just felt like a "kiddie" movie like this was an assault on their manhood

Dhurgan I just bought this movie on DVD, mainly because of Jet-Li and my goal to get most of his movies, but also because I like martial arts films and the way they tell a story different, especially in the earlier ones.This story appealed to me for the very reason that others think its bad, I like the funny interludes and the interwoven stories. I also think that the kids are really fun and worthwhile to look at. My only regret is that they as per usual, draw the fights out forever, but at the same time that is part of the charm I guess.I wish the DVD or IMDb would have had a better casting with pictures since I simply cannot read the Chinese and I really would like to know other movies that the tomboy girl had played in, if anyone knows her name, i would appreciate an email :-)All in all, quite an OK movie with good kung-fu with a "no harm done" stamp.

Vegas-6 Sweet mother of pearl. This movie was quite awful. Slow early, slow in the middle, Great at the end. A bit of humor here and there, mostly related to buttocks and testicles. The final fight scene was sufficently over-the-top for my tastes, but I'd say it's not even worth renting. If you do rent, fast forward to 11 minutes before the end of the tape, and you get pretty much all the action right then and there. Of particular intrest is the guy with a spear being pushed into his neck until a slingshot comes in....
