Best movie of this year hands down!
Excellent but underrated film
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
Seemed like a kids film to me, so don't be too harsh on it. Bad things: some very artificial ADR, average casting, odd blend of language accents, lame bad guy jokes, average acting from the lead, which could have something to do will lazy actor direction. Great things: the concept, the music, the costumes and there would have been a good script in there somewhere.Kids will love it. Not too much violence and very little blood seen. Has a gorgeous young lady that boys will want to fall in love with. Nice romantic escapism.
Kills Time with Enjoyable Action and Fun The movie actually surprised in Liberal 2017 Social Justice Anti-Certain culture Hollywood.It's a bit like old school 90's film. A teen becomes a hero by going back in time and becoming somewhat of a fighter. That is all you really need to know.It's a bit of a mixed genre film. It's fantasy, with sci-fi, witch lots of action and a bit of teenage angst and romance. If you love 80's movies and not a shallow feminized Liberal dirt bag with dreams of Social Justice domination, then this is a fun time.A solid 7.5 out of 10.
This is maybe the worst movie of 2016... wait this was made in 2016? It looks like a 90s Nickelodeon straight to DVD movie with CGI that was made from 3D Movie Maker program.The acting is not to bad if this was 1995. (sadly it's 2016 made) The over all plot is good and would make for a nice story. (if done correctly)sadly it wasn't. We see our hero ask for help in fighting as he has zero skills to speak of. So the skilled worrier teaches him... 1 thing. Only 1 simple move (hold hands out). Then somehow magically he becomes a super fighting ninja that's taking down 50 to 60 guys with no problem. Top that off with what looks like half the movie cut out (very bad editing) They free the princess and use a catapult to get away, The next scene you see the princess locked up and the main bad guy walking into frame to attack our hero...WTF just happened? The main bad guy should be miles away from them and where the heck did the wizard and warrior go? Anyways... He saves the day and goes back home all to some how make his own video game in 1 night..1...NIGHT! based off his "adventure" to only sell the game for $25,000 to save their house from getting taken away. Even by 1990s standers this was a bad movie. Don't waste your time.
The word on the street was that this was a riff on one of my all-time favorite films, Forbidden Kingdom 2008, so I could not resist checking it out.(Word to the wise, if you have not already seen FK, and you like MMA and/or Wushu and/or Fantasy and/or Adventure, check it out. FK has humble beginnings, features two of the greatest cinematic martial artists of all time - Jackie Chan and Jet Li -- a killer script, great scenery, and solid performances. Some reviewers, including this one, think it is one of the best of its kind ever done.) Let's start with what Warriors Gate was intended to be, and work from that.The production team clearly thought they would "improve" on FK by adding more "teen humor." Presumably they also felt this would more than compensate for the film's considerably lighter "feel" and the awkward void formed by not having ANY famous film martial artists at all.Also, Forbidden Kingdom had a certain edge of malice and unpredictability in the script which, oddly, only increased its impact and its fan base. This film lacks those features as well and, on its best day in its best suit, comes across more as "Forbidden Kingdom Lite," or perhaps even a Disney knockoff of the original.Which is not to say it is not worth a watch. A lot of effort was put into the humor aspect (as explained above) and this does keep things moving along.(For example -- if you are film buff, you will remember fondly the famous tag line from Airplane 1980 - "Don't call me Shirley" which became a sort of iconic inside joke for years afterwards. This script contains a number of attempts to mimic that sort of dialog, my favorite being -- "KILL HIM! -- slashing noise -- "NO, NOT HIM. HIM.") Bottom Line: One hour and 45 minutes of reasonable entertainment. However, it suffers from the "curse" common to all knock-offs. Unless you see the original, you will never know what you are missing.
