Everything, Everywhere All at Once is the best martial art movie of 2022. Not exactly unexpected and well-deserved, the Michelle Yeoh’s movie was very liked in every universe.
The winner of 2022
It sounds weird that an absurdist comedy-drama could won the best martial art movie poll, but if you watched this movie, you know that there may be a lot of stuffs much weirder than this victory. The movie of Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert is indeed weird, but at the same time genial as we already noticed in my previous article. It could be the best introduction of the multiverse so far, cinematically speaking, Everything, Everywhere All at Once is more easy-to-understand and better conceived than shows like Rick and Morty or Loki.
Michelle “The Malayan Tiger” Yeoh
In this movie we have all the Michelles Yeoh: the actress, the singer, the femme-fatale (tribute to her bond girl past), the comedian and of course the fighter. Everything, Everywhere All at Once’s first script was conceived for Jackie Chan until the Daniels (the directors) thought about a woman protagonist. So actually the martial art component in the movie was very strong from the beginning. Michelle Yeoh fights for the movie are a good mix of the stunts learned when she worked with Jackie Chan and its skill as wushu master, again very representative of her fighting style.
A success in every way
The cast again was a very important for the success of the movie. Starting with Stephanie Hsu, young actress with a bright future seen in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Ke Huy Quan who returned acting in great shape and soon we will see him in the second season of Loki. Jamie Lee Curtis always unforgettable and exceptional in every scene she shoots. And of course Michelle Yeoh, she was not only the protagonist of the movie, but if you remembered, she was one of the winners of the last year with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The Malayan Tiger is literally living a second golden age with all this success.
