Heavenly Sword (2014) is a movie I recently watched for the first time in a long time on Tubi. The storyline follows a prophesy where the son of a king picks up the heavenly sword and saves the world from tyranny when an evil emerges. When the King is murdered the princess picks up the sword and seeks out her lost long brother in hopes of giving him the sword to fulfill the legend.

This movie is directed by Gun Ho Jang in his directorial debut and contains the voices of Thomas Jane (The Mist), Andy Serkis (Lord of the Rings), Anna Torv (Mindhunter), Ashleigh Ball (My Little Pony), Nolan North (Star Trek into the Darkness) and Renae Geerlings (Halloween II).

The storyline for this picture is entertaining and had potential. Unfortunately the animation was very mediocre and felt like video game cut scenes and wasn't always fluid and natural. The action scenes were uneven with some scenes better than others. As the movie progresses the fight scenes do get better.

Overall this is a below average addition to the genre that's not as good as it could have been. I would score this a 3.5/10 and recommend finding something better to watch.
