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.

12 August 2017. Enter the Warrior's Gate is Matthew Broderick meets The Neverending Story (1984) and Big Trouble in Little China (1986). This entertaining coming of age adventure movie joins East and West in a nice cultural fusion. There are hints of comedy with the cultural clashes between East and West, between old and new as well as between magic and practical human endeavor. While not as epic or dramatic on scale as Yimou Zhang's Hero (2004) with Jet Li, Enter the Warrior's Gate offers breath taking landscapes, typical American commerce and juvenile bullying, and the martial art adventures of a young protagonist that at times seems to be pretty fumbling like Kurt Russell's character in Big Trouble in Little China but in a youthful, dumb sort of way like a younger Matthew Broderick. The movie script is stretched in a few places to make the pacing and the plot seem to connect and just manages to keep the entire movie intact. For an enjoyable, if not spectacular, feel-good movie, this is one of those movies to watch.
A bit funny, but trying too hard only to give us a mindless entertainment. With the presence of a very good actor Dave Bautista and an action-packed trailer, it's very unfortunate to get what seems to be a spoiled food out of a sought after delicacy.The cast has a lot of potentials however they were all murdered by poor scripting, and exaggerated acting by some actors.The plot is somehow interesting, to see some kind of a gamer turned to be the actual hero himself, but only turned out to be a cheesy fantasy action film that only exists if there's a beautiful woman to be saved.Another downside of the film were its special effects, where it seems to forget that it's already 2000's and we are in the era where visual effects are one of the most significant factors when it comes to fantasy films.Anyway, despite these disadvantages, the movie delivered decent action sequences (martial arts and sword fights) and a cool bike chase scene.
Definitely more of a kid's film but still could have been better.
This must be appealing to the younger crowd but I'm a senior and have always loved fantasy books and films! I don't care if so many things are impossible and incorrect , the point is it's an entertaining fantasy feature. Sure it's been done before but so many other movies too!
The acting is good, there is lots of humor and the SFX are nice too! Beautiful landscapes add to the quality of the film! I had fun watching it and I'm sure ,if you're a fantasy lover , you will too!
