DanTheMan 2 @DanTheMan2150AD 3d Some titles evoke worlds of wonder, others are dull and inspire confusion, but The Battle Wizard brings about very specific expectations of a magically adept sorcerer casting furious spells. What you ultimately end up with is giant snakes and fighting monkeys mixed with a claw-hand firing neanderthal and laser beams. A full-on, balls-to-the-walls wuxia fantasy. The rather inventive choreography mixes martial arts with supernatural gimmicks that constantly escalate the insanity. One duel might involve acrobatics and elegant staff fighting; the next involves a villain firing invisible force waves, while another summons venomous creatures. It never settles into repetition because the film keeps trying to outdo itself. Nearly everything about The Battle Wizard feels like a nightmarish fever dream, where imagination is the name of the game and lunatic energy rules the day, embracing its own excess with contagious enthusiasm.
