When you think that nothing else would surprise you, you watch Kickboxer: Vengeance and starts to review all your worst reviews. From animals clearly made of plastic, terrible "epileptic" camera on action scenes to direction worthy of zero stars, the movie is a complete tragedy. The original Kickboxer deserves 7-9 stars when compared to this reboot.

Kurt Sloane (Alain Moussi) travels to Thailand to avenge the death of his brother in the ring against Master Tang Po (Dave Bautista). He is trained by Master Durand (Jean-Claude Van Damme) in something a bit longer than a music montage with Canadian champion Georges St-Pierre.The film was filled with fighting from beginning to end, barely taking a breather for plot. In one training scene Kurt has his feet on rafts moving apart, forcing him to do the JCVD split. Formula remake. Okay for what it was.Guide: F-word, sex, nudity (Sara Malakul Lane)

Sure the times have changed and improvising is needed. So you have a slightly different movie than the original ? Whats the big deal guys ? You would go watch Hunger games and all other shitty movies but wouldn't like this one because its a little different than the original kickboxer ? The only thing i would say that i didn't like about the movie which doesn't even matter that much is the Elephant were fake but i am glad they were and didn't freak out the animals for a silly movie scene. And for that i would like to Thank the creator of this movie for caring about the animal intentionally or non intentionally.All in all, huge fan of VD and Batista so i enjoyed the movie.

What should have been an enjoyable B grade action fest, "Kickboxer: Vengeance" instead is a lazy, insulting, rushed, and blatant cash grab totally missing out on what made the original film a cult classic and loved by so many people, it's a laughably bad attempt at rebooting a film that should have been a cakewalk, at least as far as direct to video remakes go. So you're probably asking how JCVD is in the film, he is to most people the only reason to watch the film after all, well, he's...there, he's just there, not giving a crap, in fact no one gave a crap when making this film, I mean I don't blame them, it's a direct to video remake of an 80's B movie, but was it really THAT hard to do it well? Not even the team handed the task of putting subtitles in the film could do their job, who in the hell thought it was the best decision to make the subtitles of the film in all caps? What's most laughable is the dubbing job they did with JCVD...yes, they dubbed JCVD with another person's voice, it's so hard to not notice it, as I said it's laughable. Even if you're a fan of the original, definitely don't waste your time with this film, it's not even better than the sequels.
