Bulletproof Monk is the type of movie where you know that the people involved didn't take it too seriously. That's all well and good, but even from a light-hearted side, this movie was just too dopey to even be considered that funny.
It had a few moments. Sean William Scott had a few funny lines, and Chow Yun-Fat had some deadpan moments. However, for a low-brow action-comedy, Bulletproof Monk still was pretty poor. Most of the jokes didn't trigger a chuckle, the dialogue was often just plain corny, and the fighting scenes were mediocre. I think the beautiful and breathtaking fighting sequences we saw in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon should hardly ever be mimicked, especially by a movie like this.
This movie is pretty much completely dispensable. It did keep my interest sometimes, but other than that, there's not really many redeeming qualities about Bulletproof Monk.
My IMDb Rating: 4/10. My Yahoo! Grade: C- (Disappointing)
