An Exercise In Nonsense
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
This film is terrible, from the painfully fake wigs to the creepy yet hilarious blind child,I cannot see what they spent the budget on! (Probably on the three main actors and 2304k cameras so we can see every single pore in Cousaks face).The story starts off with a cheesy fight between some odd looking Mongol barbarian types and some Hindu looking people. Jackie Chan jumps into the mix but fails to deliver his usually hilarious performance.Later on he gets arrested and sent to work as slave labour and a few seconds later he's back in control of the city and the man who apparently hated him is now cheering.A Roman legion (With advanced building skills) some how thinks it's clever to charge a fortified city while on horseback! Jackie Chan who's no longer a laborer greets him and lets in the army that was seconds ago trying to invade.They become friends and fix a wall by using tons and tons of metal which would probably have taken a lot longer to collect, melt hammer and bolt into place. Anyways we find out there's a creepy blind kid who is obviously Chinese but some how got cast as a Roman emperor wearing a blonde wig, he can sing Latin even though everyone speaks English. oh by the way he sings what sounds like medieval Latin, not Roman Latin.Anyways I digress, the bad guy (Tiberius, a roman consul or something) arrives and simply walks in through the fortifications that the entire start of the film centered around! not even a single arrow was shot, they just waltz in! Cousak is captured and tortured and the Wigged up emperor child jumps off a cliff while he bawls his eyes out. We find out Adrian Brody (Tiberius) is just butt-hurt because Cousak fell in love with the child and not him. He proceeds to breathe vigorously for the rest of the scene. Somewhere in there we have a flashback of Jackie Strangling his sister and killing her, then flash back to the present.....At this point I quit and turned it off.
I really don't understand why someone wouldn't like this movie , why even say its bad!! If you are not a fan of history or martial arts you shouldn't even watch these kind of movies. Why bother and after that writing a whole god damn article about how bad its was and it wasn't of your liking! go watch some twilight and cry with the popcorn in your hands. Now to continue, it was a little confusing for people with no intelligence to understand what was going on. 1st the kid was high in command his brother the bad guy tried to kill him the good guy run away with him finds Jackie they become friends and they make more friends of all the different nations of the continent and then they fight the bad guys. Great emotional bond with the character and heart breaking deaths. Even the joker Captain i felt sorry for him. Please for the love of God of whatever religion. DON'T WATCH A MOVIE IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE CONCEPT. Its like going to watch super hero movies but you never saw cartoons, read comics or even heard about the hero movies and still you go and watch it and start commenting how the hero wore spandex !!!! Overall the movie was worth its time, not the best but not the worst like some (animals) described it. Thank you for reading my review and i hope you understand.
For me, this film is one of the little jewels sometimes can be missed. It s almost a gargantuan production, it seems to be nothing's been saved to give that film the grandiosity and the depth the director want to transmit to us.A mash up of actors, good actors, featuring different characters we usually are used to know them.I don t wanna extend myself and I apologize for the grammatical mistakes, but to me, this films has tremendous action scenes, very moving dialogues and if we manage to relax our eye upon some historical errors that can be found, it's really enjoyable.Thank you for your attention, happy new year.
This is the worst movie I have seen all year. It runs an hour too long, is padded with useless battle scenes and the plot jumps around so much no one can tell what's going on from one scene to the next. The named actors are terrible, the lines stilted an the relationships formed are those classical of bad movies with quaint stereotypes. Give this one a miss, take back your life, take back your Saturday night, no one should have to sit through this rubbish. The entire high tech flashback container for the action makes no sense and when we return it continues to provide no answers as to why any of this was relevant, useful or entertaining. Who were that young Chinese couple anyway, why were they there, why am I watching this!
