#INTO THE WARRIORS GATE MOVIE#
The movie was co-written by Luc Besson and Robert Mark who have worked on the Taken and Transporter franchises. It's also kind of a different spin on the classic film The Last Starfighter. When you watch the trailer you'll see what I'm talking about. What I like about what I'm seeing in this trailer is that it reminds me of those fun yet silly adventure films that I used to watch when I was growing up in the late '80s and early '90s. There, he embarks on a journey to save a princess. The film centers on a teenage gamer from California, played by Uriah Shelton, who is magically transported to China where he must learn to convert his video game skills into those of a Kung Fu warrior. However, there are a few decent martial arts action sequences that are a bit fun to watch.I've got a fun trailer for an upcoming action-adventure film called The Warriors Gate for you to check out. The humor might appeal to the younger crowd, but adults will be rolling their eyes at how silly it is at times. Overall, despite a few plot holes, Enter The Warriors Gate is a fun, mindless entertainment that is neither good or bad. I would say the latter was done on purpose as a homage to the old martial art films (the ridiculous ones). With a screenplay written by Luc Besson and Robert Kamen, the film is a bit silly with campy dialogue, juvenile humor, and a lot of overacting from the cast. The plot involving a bullied teenager traveling to an ancient Chinese world might sound a bit familiar, as it's the exact same plot of the 2008 film Forbidden Kingdom starring Jackie Chan and Jet Li. The movie was released in China last year, where it flopped with moviegoers.
