Warriors of Virtue

Recently decided to sit and watch this movie... saw it as a kid on a lazy sunday or something...

Thought it was freakin awesome and is to this day a forgotten classic of cinema. That they had the balls to make this movie is just unbelievable shit... just amazingly crafted 90s movie full of 90s cheese but still so genius in its overall craftsmanship.

I'm just floored by it honestly. Everything possible they could have thought of to make the movie a true masterpiece of action cinema, they did it. no stone is left unturned in this.

I never underrated the movie, always loved it, but never was an enormous fan of it. Star Wars of course took that mantle and hopefully still will for all eternity after the dust settles from the new movies.

But revisiting it, I'm just... it's like too brilliant, my brain can't handle what they pulled off in this film. It's everything force awakens should have been, everything they SHOULD be trying to do with the new star wars movies, create a mystical, other worldly reality, not stick us on a bunch of movie sets.

That's what movies did back in the 90s. That was the MO of the time period, create an illusion for kids to escape their lives into. That's it.. that's all movies mostly tried to accomplish back then.

And it does. I'm just watching the movie and getting that childhood feel of wonderment right back as I watch it... it's nuts. But that's the purpose of the film, to sell the illusion, and it's so well done, I'm just totally blown away, bravo douge jones etc... bravo. Don't make them like they used to indeed....

Glad it exists though. All one needs to do is point at it and say, YEAH THIS OLD ASS MOVIE SHITS ALL OVER WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING TODAY...

Is it perfect? No, it's a clunker when it comes to the annoying kid and his story line, soooo cliche, but the roo stuff, the fantasy stuff, fuck it's too great...
