30 reviews
I was willing to give it a chance. It's pretty bad. Still, I was willing to give it a chance. But first, I came here to check the reviews. I found at least a dozen "Ten Stars". Ten Stars? For this? Really? So IMDB allows anyone to post reviews. And I suppose one person can post multiple reviews. The result is many repetitive reviews; but worse, overrated assessments. I assume this is done by someone involved in this bad movie. That's real unprofessional, guys. Way worse than just making a bad movie. Unethical and deceptive. By the way, bad movie too.

This film is awful. Absolutely terrible. The fight scenes are slow, awkward and painful to watch.
It makes me think that the cast/crew are writing reviews!

It seems the 2 reviews were posted by people associated with this horrid waste of cellulite, or perhaps they are just off their meds. All joking aside, this is not a movie, its at best a student film project that went horribly wrong. Sorry, just telling it like it is. With apologies to all involved with this production, Holy Crap.
I hope you all go on to better projects in the future.

Combat is a joke, really its laughable. I thought I was watching a comedy skit and gave up after 20 minutes in

Right, well I was lured in by the movie's cover, which definitely was reminiscent of something that you'd see on a Tony Jaa movie. In fact, I think they were actually borrowing so heavily from Tony Jaa movies that it was sort of blatantly theft and embarrassing.
Regardless, I sat down to watch the 2019 movie "Wu Xia 2: The Code" (aka "Immortal Combat: The Code") and I was expecting it to be a martial arts movie. Well, it was - sort of. While there was martial arts and fighting in the movie, it was so amateurishly choreographed, scripted and executed that it was such an eyesore and cringeworthy to watch on the screen. In fact, it felt like it was supposed to be a spoof on the "Mortal Kombat" franchise, given the title of the movie; "Immortal Combat".
The acting in the movie was pretty much as to be expected from a movie such as this. So you shouldn't be setting yourself up for disappointment by expecting some grand Shakespearian performances. Some of the acting performances were adequate, some dubious. So go figure.
This was by no means an outstanding movie experience, and I gave up on the movie with just 23 minutes remaining. I just simply couldn't take anymore of the pointless storyline, the equally pointless characters, and the atrocious fighting. It was just rubbish.
My rating of the movie is a generous two out of ten stars, solely based on the production value of the movie. If you enjoy martial arts movies, do yourself a favor and skip on this one. Don't get suckered in by the movie's cover, because it has nothing to do with the actual contents of the movie.

The opening sequence is enough to make you come to the conclusion that this is not a movie, but a commendable effort to push the boundaries of ridiculousness.
It's a remarkable success.

If you want a good time, get a bunch of friends over to watch this and laugh at how bad it is. I'm not joking. It's free on YouTube so don't pay any money to see it. I don't think the filmmakers spent any money on this themselves and it shows. All the positive scores anywhere are by cast and crew trying to cheat the system with illegitimate reviews. Disgusting, but the movie is still hilarious if you like watching amateurs who don't know how bad they are.

The entire budget from this film was spent on shoehorning an opening bs rant about climate change destroying the world in 10 years and 3rd world countries are the innocent ones and they are the ones who suffer.
There no acting skill, no plot and no effects in this move. Save your time

To state it simply, this is a solid, independent film with plenty of suspense, action, and exceptionally choreographed fight sequences. What is even better, is that the filmmakers did not ignore the importance of having a good, complete, and timely story as the vehicle to present all of the intense, action-eye-candy. The cinematography, sound, sound editing, and picture editing are also well executed. This is clearly director Johnny K. Wu's best film to date. I had the opportunity to see the film on the big screen, which was a real treat . This is a perfect Friday / Saturday night popcorn movie. Cheers to the cast and crew; well done!

Kept my attention the whole time. There were some cool cuts during the fight scenes that made them extra energetic.

That about sums it up. Some friends got together on a weekend and said, 'hey, we got skills.' And then, they made this movie. But hey, it made it to Amazing Prime; Kudos.

This particular movie follows the same theme in Wu Lin, that the atmosphere is still poisoned and a cure is still needed to save earths population. The Code is the mystery that needs to be solved, what is it or even who is it, and why is it necessary? The search for the code creates all kinds of chaos. You are not sure who the good guys are or the bad guys, as well as their motive for finding the code. There is a lot of kung fu action in this film. I found it a little confusing that the environment of the movie kept changing from scenes of all rain to snow being on the ground. I found the editing for this film was greatly improved then in the first installment, and the acting overall had improved.
Really enjoyed this movie. Good story line and plenty of good action/fight scenes. Amazingly choreographed! Never a dull moment. This movie keeps you involved and entertained throughout!
Running at a brisk 80 minutes, Wu Xia 2 the Code is an extremely entertaining martial arts film with a scifi twist. Our ragtag group of heroes take on a shadowy organization who will stop at nothing to attain ultimate power by taking control of a mysterious artifact. With awe-inspiring stunts, a pulsating score and a thrilling narrative, Wu Xia 2 ticks all the right boxes. The film is, in essence, an 80 minute action packed ride filled to the brim with extreme stunts and crazy action sequences. The film is elevated by perfectly casted actors whose chemistry meshes together very well and all this is held together by a script that not only allows the actors moments of great levity but also lets them showcase their acting chops. All in all, Wu Xia 2 the Code is an extremely entertaining film that is well worth your time.

As a fan of most genre's, this action packed movie leaves you wanting more.
A wonderful and very talented cast has your attention purely focused on the plot as well as the action scenes, which there is plenty of.
This is not Hollywood made, yet does have a slight feel to it as of all the stunts. You can tell that this was professionally put together and that the entire cast works very well with one another.
If you are into action films, this one is for you.

Wow, this martial art, action film is quite amazing. The fight scenes were very well choreographed with actors doing their own stunts. I also love seeing the diverse cast in this futuristic setting with some traditional Asian themes. The cinematography, editing, sound, and original music was also nicely done. Overall, it's a well-made independent film.
