About
If you enjoy martial arts adventures with a newcomer learning the ropes, this should fit, especially if you liked the playful action of The Four 2; Not for you if you want gritty realism or slow, character-heavy drama.
Pros: lively kung-fu action; fish-out-of-water humor; adventurous pace | Cons: familiar quest setup; light character depth; simple stakes
