Keanu Reeves is getting old, as can be seen in his growing plumpness. I don't know what kind of opportunity made him consider creating "Man of Tai Chi" with Chen Hu. It is said that it was due to the fighting feeling for many years (Chen Hu is the martial arts instructor of Keanu Reeves' films), in any case, in In this film we can see all the elements needed for a commercial film, plus a return and imitation of the original martial arts film. Of course, the idea is very good, the reality is still cruel. In terms of the film's cast, publicity, and schedule, "Man of Tai Chi" is destined to fail at the box office. As Chen Hu said, they basically don't have too high goals for the box office. Maybe this is a kind of cover up after the fact, or maybe the movie itself just fulfills a long-cherished wish of Keanu and Chen Hu? unknown. In short, from the perspective of professional martial arts, Tai Chi Xia is still remarkable. As for the taste of the audience, it was a complete failure.
All viewers can take this film as a demonstration of Chen Hu's martial arts career. He moves freely between various fighting techniques, the camera is naturally grasped, and the movements have a tough American style with occasional fragments of martial arts. The plot aspect is messed up, so don't pay attention to it.
Finally, I complained about the name, but I didn't see how much it had to do with the word Xia. Was it because I originally wanted to call Tai Chi, but was picked up early by some nonsense trilogy?
