Seemed like a kids film to me, so don't be too harsh on it. Bad things: some very artificial ADR, average casting, odd blend of language accents, lame bad guy jokes, average acting from the lead, which could have something to do will lazy actor direction. Great things: the concept, the music, the costumes and there would have been a good script in there somewhere.Kids will love it. Not too much violence and very little blood seen. Has a gorgeous young lady that boys will want to fall in love with. Nice romantic escapism.

I saw previews for this movie and it originally caught my interest but I came with no high hopes of it being significantly good. While it's not the most amazing movie I've seen to date, it is an original story that includes martial art elements, comedy, action and overall fun. I thought the fight scenes were very well choreographed and they threw in some lol moments throughout the movie to keep the tone light and easy going while still having enough action to keep the pace going. I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie. The lead actress is also stunningly beautiful and the main kid actor did a very good job holding his own with actors like Dave Batista also in the movie. Overall, a fun, lighthearted, interesting and original movie.

A teenager is magically transported to China and learns to convert his video game skills into those of a Kung Fu warrior. Enter The Warrior's Gate or also known as Warrior's Gate is a 2016 Action, Adventure and Fantasy Film starring Dave Bautista and Sienna Guillory. From what i have seen so far about this film hardly anyone talks about it plus it got mixed reviews so far and it's getting it's release on the US soon the movie of course was released way sooner here in my Country around February 2nd and it just came out on DVD so i rent the film to see it and judge it on my own and personally i really liked this movie a lot. First of all it's indeed a copy paste of The Forbidden Kingdom the 2008 film starring Jackie Chan and Jet Li of course that doesn't mean that the movie is bad besides we live in a world where everything is not original and we get many reboots, sequels, prequels and requels everyday so that doesn't surprise me a lot. The performances are quite good with Ni Ni who plays Su Lin stealing the show for the most part, Batista as Arun is also pretty good and he makes a far better villain in here than he did in Kickboxer, Guillory who plays Annie our main protagonist mother is in the film for a short time but she is quite good as well and it's good that Sienna still stars in movies from time to time also Mark Chao plays Zhoo and he is the badass character of the movie as for Uriah Shelton who plays Jack i really liked his character and as a Gamer myself he has my vote. The movie was also written by Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, Transporter, Taken) and for the most part the effects also looked good except the big Final Battle where a character turns into a Power Rangers villain and he looks really bad plus i wish the movie took place more in the Present day than the Past but overall i laughed a lot and the action was really cool plus the Opening was pretty EPIC it's not for everyone sure but don't listen to critics or some of the reviewers in here just judge it on your own interests.

Thoroughly enjoyable, this action comedy has just the right blend of East and West. When Luc Besson is involved you know the story is going to be entertaining. The dialog is funny even laugh out loud funny and the story is well written and structured with a funny part in the mall and home then the Chinese adventure and then a proper conclusion back home. It avoids the silliness of some Jackie Chan movies and the repetitive martial arts of some other crossover movies. The characters all have good lines and action even the Arun the Cruel. The scenery is pretty with an on location heart of China feel.Acting is above average for this kind of movie. The main protagonist Jack played by Uriah Shelton is quite likable as the bullied video game geek who gets involved in an adventure in China. Chinese actress Ni Ni is pretty and acts well in the comic parts. Her English diction is good. Taiwanese actor Mark Chao is a convincing warrior Zhao.Well done - the best of this kind of English speaking Asian action comedy so far.
