Batman: Soul of the Dragon (2021) YIFY - Download Movie TORRENT

From the cheeky Bond-esque pre-credits sequence, through the Enter the Dragon pastiche theme music, to one character's very impressive Afro, this animated movie is a mishmash of (and love letter to) 1970s action/exploitation. Richard Dragon (voiced by Mark Dacascos) is now Asian - and a dead-ringer for Bruce Lee, Ben Turner/Bronze Tiger (Michael Jai White) looks like a cross between Jim Kelly and Shaft, whilst James Hong's O-Sensei looks and sounds like he should be offering enigmatic advice to David Carradine. It's also nice to see Sir Edmund Dorrance/King Snake (Patrick Seitz) making his first (as far as I know) animated appearance. For the rest of the featured cast we have Kelly Hu as Lady Shiva, Jamie Chung as Jade Nguyen (aka Cheshire), Grey DeLisle as Lady Eve, and Josh Keaton as Jeffrey Burr/Kobra, all of whom do a fine job. David Giuntoli however doesn't quite nail Bruce Wayne/Batman, sadly, compounded by the fact that whilst there's a good reason for Bruce Wayne being in this story, there's no reason whatsoever for Batman to be there (with every completely shoehorned Batsuit-up being eye-rollingly pointless). But the fight choreography is (unsurprisingly) very good, as is the score throughout.This is a standalone movie, although the ending sets up for a sequel/resolution (to the extent that I'm surprised this wasn't marketed as a 'part one'). Interesting for a one-time watch, but not one I'd buy. 6/10.

This will be a split DC animate flick, older watchers will likely enjoy it more

Just read the other positive reviews, they sum it up well. This was really a surprise homage to all the 70's kung fu and spy flicks. Not something you see in live cinema anymore thats for sure.Sure it wasn't perfect. But for anyone thats watched enough films from the 70's early eighties.. will dig this enough that its a good once watch. Some DC animated films I've rewatched a few times. But the stories were much more complex than this and they were better films. I've seen them all.. so in comparison from the worst DC animated films to the best this one sits at a solid 6.5 But I'll give it an edge to push back a little against negative reviews. Tho i can understand why a younger generation wouldn't like this one or understand the context as much unless they were a kung fu film fan. Also, No idea why this was rated R.. I've seen so many PG-13 films with tons more blood and violence than this had.. And I think if they did add more to the violent aspect of sword fights and killing by beating to death, it would have shown this was a film meant for the older DC animated film viewers. So far none of the R rated DC animated films have really taken advantage of that yet.. The Killing joke being the best example and the worst example of animation.. This film had the classic 90's animation but spruced up for the quality of animation standards today, same style tho.
