If Shaolin Soccer was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

The cinematography in Shaolin Soccer is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Just got out of Shaolin Soccer and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Shaolin Soccer?
Everyone praising the Shaolin Soccer performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Shaolin Soccer?
Honestly, Shaolin Soccer would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Unpopular opinion: Shaolin Soccer is the most overrated film of the decade
Rewatched Shaolin Soccer last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
