Description:
INVINCIBLE stars Billy Zane (TITANIC, TOMBSTONE) in an invigorating martial arts fantasy about the ultimate fight of good versus evil! Os (Zane) is a martial arts expert whose life purpose is to train a band of misfits to fight the ultimate evil. Once part of the Shadowmen -- a cult of dark angels who want to destroy the Earth -- Os was shown 'the Way' and gave up his immortality to help mankind. Now, Os and his students must take on his former friend, Slate, the ultra-powerful leader of the Shadowmen, in a battle to save the world! Also starring Byron Mann (TV's DARK ANGEL, THE CORRUPTOR) and featuring amazing fight scenes staged by renowned martial arts choreographer Tony Ching -- don't miss this hard-hitting treat!
Amazon.com:
Invincible opens with a glorious display of high comic book melodrama, as a malevolent superbeing named Os (Billy Zane, chewing the scenery with his dependable gusto) battles it out with a force of light called the White Warrior. When she opens his heart to love, Os finds himself commissioned to assemble a team of mortal human beings destined from before birth to become hyperhuman protectors of life--and only they can save the earth from the Shadowmen and their truly bad leader, Slate. It's all ridiculous, but for a while Invincible is completely entertaining, directed with verve, visual flash (including surprisingly good special effects and well-choreographed kung fu), and a silly but effective script. Unfortunately, about half-way through the movie grows visually repetitive and its good/evil scenario loses its juice, but that first half was still damn fun; Zane gives trashy dialogue the trashy zest it needs. --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - Made-for-TV tripe. Painful to watch. Fell asleep during 2-3 separate viewings...
I feel duped into this movie. For some reason I heard "martial arts" and "invincible" and thought this might actually be a great martial arts movie... Ooh, god did I regret this one.
Being on a martial arts kick lately, I've seen such great movies as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Curse of the Golden Flower, Forbidden Kingdom, Hero, Iron Monkey, etc. I don't know why I thought this might be able to join those other movies in terms of style, art direction or substance.

Rating:  - Zen philosophy as may be
So many of the things said in this movie are of a zen nature. I liked the idea of the worst of the worst becoming the best of the best. Billy Zane must have really enjoyed making this movie (pilot). I'm sorry that it didn't make it as a TV serial. The martial arts are shown in many different forms. It's just a fun movie to watch.
Rating:  - Just Because Of Billy Zane!!!!....
I'm not a fan of martial arts movies except for old Bruce Lee movies. While at my local video store, I saw this DVD on sale for cheap. What caught my eye was BILLY ZANE!!!! He was the only reason I bought this movie. Had he not been the lead character in it, I would have never bought this movie. I give the movie 2 stars but BILLY ZANE and his performance 5 stars!!!!! Although executive produced by Mel Gibson along with Jet Li, unless you are a die hard martial arts/The Matrix fan, I wouldn't advise watching ... Read More
Rating: - WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!!
I want to bring everyone's attention to the people who made this movie, Jet Li and Mel Gibson. A Buddhist, and the director of The Passion of the Christ.
THIS IS NOT AN ACTION MOVIE! Sorry to say, people, but this is far from what you are going to want if you want an action movie. It is Circle of Iron/The Silent Flute for a new generation. It is not just about kicking the crap out of everyone in their way. It is a philisoophical movie.
Four people who showed the traits of four ... Read More
Rating: - Vanquished
I love corny action movies. They're a guilty pleasure of mine. This, however, went beyond bad. I have never seen a worse movie. Normally, in a good action flick, the dialogue is bad, the plot is lacking, but the action is amazing. In this movie, the dialogue was so bad that my friend and I were gaping at each other in astonishment, the plot was ludicrous and the action was pathetic.
Let's start with the dialogue. Os (Billy Zane) kept waxing poetic, spouting utter nonesense for hours. It was supposed ... Read More
