Silver Hawk (DVD, 2005)

... A Comic Book Based Movie.

The fact that it starred Michelle Yeoh added to my
placing it on my rental queque to watch.

This movie is a little different fare for Michelle Yeoh, who is best known for her big role in CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON.

The movie is directed by the Hong Kong filmmaker Jingle Ma, and Michelle is a Co-Producer of the movie.

The movie storline is about a woman named Lulu, who is a beautiful millionaire who uses her inheritance to start her secret life as a caped crimefighter called Silver Hawk.

Silver Hawk is a master of martial arts and uses them in her efforts to keep her city safe.

This is better than a lot of Hong Kong Kung Fu movies,
but I just didn't see the comic book connection.

Some enjoyable scenes with Michelle Yeoh, but she just
doesn't have additional talents like Jackie Chan has
and uses in his movies when he isn't fighting.

The way this movie was filmed made us believe it was voiced over..we at first thought this movie may have been Chinese with english overdubbing..however all in all this is a cute movie would be great for the kiddies and adults to enjoy together..not exactly Wonder Woman, but Silver Hawk is enjoyable...and very nice to look at!! Silver Hawk is a futuristic crimefighter out to protect the innocent..LouLou is played by Michelle Yoew(sp?) a beautiful heiress who sets out to right wrongs and save the innocent..as a little Girl attending a karate school she befriends a sweet little boy with similiar aspirations she's suddenly whisked away by a mysterius man after being told she has extroidinary fighting skills..fast forward years later now a full grown beautiful Woman LouLou while wearing her Silver Hawk mask saves the day making the police look bad..however unknown to her she actually has an affiliation with the Police..wanna know what it is..rent or buy the movie and find out..I give this fun film 5 out of 5 bars..We hope to see more Silver Hawk!

Not a "Matrix" derived movie, but simply good old Batman with a gender change, the same "got tons of money, secret help, and really neat toys but I'm not super human" basis.

Interesting play at martial arts, very nice staging, and a good "touch of mortality" in her injury sequence. Between Batman and Silver Hawk I would tend to favor Batman for complex story, Silver Hawk for the eye candy factor.

Now if we could get Batman and Silver Hawk to work together----

.

Basically Silver Hawk is really good fun, a cool superhero movie with a great heroine played by a great actress. It's fast, funny and has really good fight scenes, but you could get put off by the awkward dub. It's good enough that I think it's worth the effort, and I'll definitely be watching it again soon.
