In case anyone was wondering whether a movie can be good purely because it has Michelle Yeoh being cool and beating people up, the answer is an unequivocal yes.
The story is all but an afterthought here. I'd even call some of the non-action scenes in this film boring, and it can be a little hard to work out what's going on among the chaos sometimes. But when Magnificent Warriors is firing on all cylinders and delivering action, it's honestly pretty amazing.
The fight scenes and stunts are everything you could want, and if an action movie has great action at a frequent rate, paired with somewhat middle-of-the-road everything else, I still think it's worthy of being called very good movie. The flaws are easy to overlook when the explosions and hand-to-hand fight scenes are this much fun.
