As far as I can remember today I have seen this movie for the first time on free-TV in my home country Germany and now I understand the reason. I guess the story is really well known: There is a hero named Os played by Billy Zane (yes, it is astonishingly true, that this truly second rate performer was allowed to play the opponent of Leonardo Di Caprio in the worldwide blockbuster "Titanic"), who concentrates some comrades-in-arms to rescue the world and the human race from the evil namely the demon Slate. This demon wants to destroy the whole world by using a very old, coded blackboard. His problem is that he is just in hold of one half of the board. The other half is owned by the before mentioned demon Os who is a former demon (what an interesting and funny coincidence that he is also a demon). So Os is the only one who is able to stop him. This hero, now has to build up his team that -what a big surprise- finally will win. We all had the possibility and luck to see many other movies about this issue in a much better way before. The unknown actors (now I also understand the reason for the fact of their anonymity) play halfhearted and just bad. Lousy effects, cruel actors, even worse screenplay. Apropos remembrance of this never wished for movie. You will definitely understand me as soon as you were afflicted with this sorry effort.

When this was being advertised on TBS back in 2001, every single ad featured Mel Gibson and Jet Li's names. They were only producers, but you wouldn't know it by the extent to which their names were featured.I thought the film looked good back then - some kind of "Matrix"/"Highlander" clone, maybe, but it still looked kinda interesting. Well, I was wrong.From the opening - with this angelic warrior being pursued by, and then fighting, Billy Zane - the film only becomes worse and worse. It copies "The Matrix" mercilessly - from the wannabe philosophy that stems throughout every scene to the slow-motion sword fights.Billy Zane gives an embarrassingly dull performance and the rest of the cast - mostly B-movie actors or TV actors - don't help any.The plot is silly to begin with. The Shadow Warriors are trying to bring an end to the world - replace "Shadow Warriors" with any other bad guy name from another psycho-baddie movie and you've got the exact same plot.Billy Zane assembles together a group of warriors to help defend earth against the Shadow Warriors.The ending of the film is so laughable it's almost painful to watch. I would never sit through this again and certainly would never recommend it to anyone else."Invincible" to criticism it is not.

This is one of my favorite movies. It's not the acting, the script, or the fight scenes. The movie taken as a piece of pure entertainment is pure cheese and gives us most of the clichés seen in martial arts movies.As a movie of Light, it's incredible. Oz, played by Billy Zane (who's always fun to watch) has a unique outlook on the bad guys as he WAS a bad guy for the first few minutes of the movie. He loses his fight with the White Warrior (who's female) who wins the fight by opening his heart and letting Love flow into his being again.Oz: "Are you ready to die?"White Warrior: "Are you ready to Love?"With that, he joins the fight against his old mentor, Slate. He finds the Four Elements - warriors chosen before birth to defeat this darkness, and trains them to fight with Love.This is NOT your average Hollywood film. It's a movie about opening your Heart to Unconditional Love, the removal of limitations, and of forgiveness (both of ourselves and those who have "wronged" us).

I wasn't expecting much from Invincible with it having so many negative reviews, which in turn proved to be a good thing since it didn't offer much in return.The story throws around a load of mythical tripe, something about a powerful relic that will give ultimate power to the Matrix rip off Shadowmen who despite their claims to being real nut jobs, prove to be absolutely inept throughout. Billy Zane has a wig on at the beginning and is bald through the rest of the film, limiting his acting abilities to smirking allot. At least he seems to enjoy himself though, which is more than can be said for anyone unlucky enough to be watching this movie.The real problem with invincible is it's supposedly a martial arts film with little in the way of Martial Arts fight scenes. To be fair though, there is a bit of sword fighting at the beginning and some kicking later on but these don't come as often as you'd like, interspersed with long, dull scenes of training and one very confusing and incredibly dull dream sequence where Zane pulls as many clichés as he can from every crevice of this butt hole of a film. Yes, we're talking about the old "love conquers all" adage.The fight scenes themselves are hard to enjoy, far too short and ruined by stupidly edited camera effects probably designed to cover up the bad choreography. And you have to worry about an action film where the only highlight is seeing a bin being chopped in half.I don't know what exactly Mel and Jet Li brought to this film as producers, but I'm guessing it was only their names. I don't know where the director was either, though perhaps next time he decides to make a film based around martial arts, he'd actually be kind enough to provide some.
