Forbidden Warrior
The Gaia Za is a sacred tome that holds many ancient and powerful spells to be unlocked by a so-called Chosen One expected to be born to one of two leading families: the Khans or the Marajis. Unwilling to leave the clan's fate to the gods, Che Khan decides to take matters into his own hands by plotting the murder of a new Maraji baby, who may be the child in question. In doing so, he sets off a furious clash.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
The most Taoist of film sense Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! For those versed in the martial arts, both internal and external, this movie captures all the the best of the arts. Very little WIRE-FU and rich in philosophy I vote to add this movie to my collection.The Heroin Siku is taught the way of Taiji and Kung Fu. She must master herself before confronting others. Like the way of water she becomes fluid and free. The movie takes the art of WUJI, emptiness to an whole new level.Focus on the relationships between middle path (father) Yin, silent warrior, and Yang (Killer) to best understand the hidden meaning.
from my title u probably thought i was speechless due to the positive impact this film had. erm let me put it this way, this film was the closest thing to pain without someone actually touching you. i must have said "please god don't do this to me" 3 times in this film at least. reason being, because it sent a shudder down my spine (like someone was opening my back and throwing salt in it) every time a cliché would come this film is full of the usual Asian-American no hoper actors who regularly put their names down for b movie films. including a return to screen of the evil emperor dude from big trouble in little china, and that little guy with the beard who's in every American martial arts film ever made! I'm serious, unless you are intrigued my mighty morphin power rangers, which come to think of it was probably better, then you will hate yourself for getting this. PLEASE LISTEN TO ME for you own sanity for god sakes! also includes a love story which ignites within the space of 30secs of the couple meeting each other (think bollywood). people i urge you, stay away. i signed up just to write this because i feel after watching this i may never watch another film again :-( nah, but seriously down watch it!!!
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.
Where do i start on such a monumental film? To steal a quote this film makes Lord of the Rings look like an epic, but of course i wouldn't make such wild claims without backing them up so read on... I started watching this film with out any expectations, saw a nice title section to lure me in but it became quite apparent that most of the actors weren't taking the roles as seriously as the plot (characters like Mouse - a Grima Wormtongue wannabe, Tall Tall - he's...um...tall, and Gibberish - a man who can only speak random words which apparently can be translated into fluid English descriptions of battle, watch and see). While watching you can't decide whether it is laughing at itself or taking itself too seriously..mixing "emotional scenes" and some fairly good choreography with the bad placement and overuse of effects of Billy Zane's "Invincible". Sometimes you wonder why there are so many western actors in a film set in what appears to be medieval Mongolia (or Chinese - there is no actual placement reference i can see apart from the reference to Khans). To summarise - a very American take on an eastern style film. Fails by employing actors who don't want to take it seriously, harming the entire cast by making them look bad (if they try to act), using special effects at every chance, poor sound effects, and above all when a person gets stabbed through the heart with a large sword you would expect it to at least leave a small exit wound on his back, no?
