Forbidden Warrior

this movie is the worst excuse for Chinese mafia to laundry money.. just joking, but seriously, the production reminds me the medium quality of some porn movies. the battles seems are alright nothing fancy but still not the worst ever existed but the slow scenes are so pathetic..and the acting so bad.. i mean seriously was it a Excellent parody made to even make fun of the audience? or is it just a serious action movie that has nothing to offer, in my opinion better watch couple of Arnold movies,you know which ones i mean..the really cheap ones..that have couple of jokes pathetic but still alright for a few desperate laughs.

No really point to see the movie..

P.S.

The cameras remind me of 1970 cheap filming.

I will not bore any readers with anything about the story of this film. Except that the story is more corny than ten tons of popcorn. Just do not waste your time watching this film. Everything about it is incredibly inept. The acting, the script, the costumes, the choreography, the CGI .... the list goes on and on. Films like Catwoman, Elektra and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen are all examples of bad films, however, they all look like masterpieces compared to this film. It has been claimed to be like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter and that it is very good. You cannot get further from the truth. Why so many have given it 10 out of ten is beyond me. Please do not see this film or you'll regret it.

I'm all for Asian Actors getting some featured roles in TV and movies, so this is no criticism of the actor's work.

I'm saying Hip Hop because of all the "sampling" that is going on in this movie...

The theme music is the same as the one from the original Six Million Dollar Man...

The guy that is with one of the brothers squats down and talks like that dude in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy...

The white blind master guy has crazy eyes like Master Po from Kung Fu...

Seki's father in the movie looks just like Sho Asahara from the Aum Shinri-kyo doomsday cult in Japan...

The tall dude is a rerun of Andre The Giant's character in "Princess Bride"...

Should I go on? I must say that Marie Matiko and Musetta Vander are very hot!!!

The lameness is not the fault of the acting or even on the concept, it's on who ever thought that people wouldn't remember all these "rip offs" of other people's original ideas...

Seeing all the negative reviews I just have to write one that contradicts this. People seem to go into this movie with expectations of another Crouched Tiger, Hidden Dragon. This it is not, having trained in 5 different martial arts I could appreciate the fights in this movie a lot more than those in CT,HD though as there are no ridiculous fights in tree tops or moves so fast that they are impossible to pull off...

I love the movie Kung Pow and although that was an intended totally ridiculous movie this one did have some references to it, but it also had a lot of references to Star Wars with the very Obi-Wan like Master, an evil empire chasing the princess and the orchestral score.

Most of the scenes were cut a little short and the actors may never get any Oscars but at least it never felt like the movie was dragging along (LOTR - are we there yet?) and it had adventure, treason, romance, a master and an apprentice, decent not over the top fights, some kind of land pirates, magic, an ancient riddle, and a Chosen One...

I watched the movie with my 16, 18 and 22 year old kids and none of us got bored, at times we good a good laugh with the references to other movies and we enjoyed it, only the lack of a decent ending was a let down but kept us wanting to see the sequel...

It's not a pretentious movie and if you can look at it that way it's really a good one!

I am writing this because the reason I went to see this film is because I saw the IMDb rating and at the time it was 7,5!!!! Usually IMDb rating mirrors reality and I trust it, but this time these people who voted for this film must be crazy or the ones making this childish naive production!! I like fairy tales and legends and I though this film would be something like that but the scenery, stage effects, dialogues and even the costumes makes it look just silly. Bad acting, poor script, really silly graphic effects! I recommend to see something else...even a child's fairytale! And of course NO comparison to Lord of the Rings, or even Harry Poter! My vote is so low because I got a bit angry with those that voted with 10(!!!) and persuaded me to go and see this NOT AT ALL cinematographic attempt.
