7 Guardians of the Tomb

I was looking forward to this Movie, but alarm bells went off the moment it started. The Direction is shocking and it doesn't matter how good an actor you are if the director is poor you are going to come over as the worst actor ever. I like Kelsey Grammer and Kellen Lutz but both don't come out of this very well, it says a lot when the big hairy Australian comedy relief character comes out of it better than the actors you paid the big money too. The special effects were half decent and spiders were quite scary and it seems the movie had a decent budget. They just let it go horribly wrong. The movie was primarily funded by Australia and China so I would have said that Russell Mulcahy would have been an ideal Director choice. They chose someone else and this is the end result. What should have been a 7/10 is actually a 5. Disappointing.

It was a B-Movie, but a B-Movie with a fairly okay budget and it looked pretty good actually. When I saw the title page and synopsis I thought it was going to be bad, but it was better than I expected. I mean it was one of those "bad films" but, the good kind for the right reasons.

Honestly it was so much fun, it very much had the Adventure Pulp vibe to it. If you are scared of spiders though, this film is not for you. There's a lot of them. Are they supposed to be the "guardians of the tomb" I have no idea? There were some pretty big spiders too.

There was more questions than answers with some of the plot holes that popped up, and it was cheesy. But it felt like a ride, but a fun one at least. I thought the actors did a really great job too. I really enjoyed it and thought it was all kinds of fun.

I do agree with another reviewer that this film needed Nicholas Cage! That would have made this film even better.

You can feel that it's a Chinese production throughout. I don't know what it is, if it's censorship or some moral code the filmmakers have to adhere to. Whatever it is, it's immediately apparent, and it's not a good thing. It feels sanitised and bland.

Maybe all the money went on the cast, it definitely didn't go on the writing.

Sometimes you get fed up of Hollywood films and big blockbusters. Saw the trailer to this, thought it looked ok. Well watched it, and must say I enjoyed it. It was not brilliant, but neither rubbish, but I thought it was good, well it entertained me for an hour and half. Isn't that what films are supposed to do, entertain. Give it a watch, it aint that bad.

I was, forced to watch this movie. I saw the trailer and thought "That looks terrible" then I watched the movie and... it was terrible. It is getting a 2/10 because it made me laugh a couple times, so it did bring a little pleasure to my life.

The key issues was the inclusion of a character that had no purpose, literally zero. The constant explanation on things that didn't need to be explained. Seriously, there are too many times that a question is asked and then BAM the answer is over-explained the audience is stupid or something. Which leads to a fair bit of the dialogue being boring and poorly written.

There is one scene that is amazing thought because it is so funny. So you will get at least one good laugh at t he movie.
