John McKenna is a spiritual being who is able to transform into bear, wolf or eagle. He lives in the forests of Tanglewood and has dedicated his life to protect them. One day a gang of evil lumberjacks led by Travis Thorne arrive to chop the forest down. McKenna cannot let this happen, and together with a band of children who love to play in the forest he battles against Thorne and his gang. Forest Warrior is better than most Chuck Norris films plus the bear was pretty adorable but everything else? like story, characters and acting? were bad. (4/10)

... View MoreMy Mom and i seen this movie the theater when i was a kid, we watched a lot of movies but this is one to remember, i remember gripping the edge of our seats for at least the first hour and 36 minutes and 57 seconds of the film. We were both crying at parts because of the emotional overtones and brilliant context. whoever wrote this movie i think its a relative of chucks should be given any and all awards that exist for the rest of time for tackling such a sensitive subject so perfectly its historical how chuck so well portrays the animals - i've always liked bears A lot. they are nice. if there was ever any proof that he was a god amongst men, this movie IS IT - 10/10 stars! This movie taught me more about death than 10 saving private Ryan's.
