Overall, watch it if you want, you might have different opinions, but I didn't think this was a good movie at all. Rewatch value: I definitely wouldn't, but others might so I gave this a neutral. Music: I didn't actually remember any music, so I gave it a neutral. The actress who played the Princess did a good job, and so did the rest of the cast but there definitely could've been an improvement. I think that they should've just spoke English through the whole movie because it just felt so, out of place.Īcting/Cast: The cast was alright, but the main character Jack Bronson (the teenage boy) is supposed to be like 16 or something but then during the Empress's coronation he looks like a 25 year old man. The parts I really hated about the movie was that at parts, the Princess and the warrior would speak Mandarin but then they would speak English to Jack. Nothing really makes sense in this movie, because the Princess has shown her martial arts skills multiple times but then sometimes she just weakens for no apparent reason and is in need of help, then there's the boy Jack who was supposed to be bullied, weak and not at all good at fighting but then after 2 or 3 lessons with a warrior he becomes a better warrior than the guy who's been training for all of his life. A teenage boy suddenly receives this box from his friend and then the box transports him into this "other world" to protect a Princess so she could be crowned Empress. Story: The overall story was okay, I guess. ![]() Everyone else thought it was a great movie, but I'm not going to lie, because it had some stuff related to Chinese culture I could tell how realistic everything was, and therefore I didn't like it that much. The script seems to be missing key explanations in several areas, and also the direction/editing in other places makes it hard to follow what is happening.This review may contain spoilers I watched this movie at a friend's house and I was told that the starting would be a bit scary and then the movie would go slow down in terms of pace. The main problem with the movie, however, is that its storytelling style is often not very clear. It's more humorous this time around, though quite frankly I found most of the humor to be juvenile and embarrassing. The whole "American kid transported to a fantasy land" angle has already been done to death, and this telling doesn't really have many new ideas to add some freshness. I could have overlooked that fact had the movie compensated in other areas, but the movie falls short in some key areas. Quite often the enterprise doesn't have the "oomph" of a major Hollywood studio production it's not seriously cheap-looking, but all the same it's missing something many times. However, no Hollywood studio was apparently willing to release the end results to American theaters, and it's pretty clear why. It's pretty obvious that the makers of this French-Chinese co-production were really trying hard to make this movie appealing to major Hollywood studios, what with most of the dialogue being in English, the casting of David Bautista in a key role, and the hero being an American youth.
