IMDB ENTERS THE WARRIORS GATE MOVIE

The only movie you could say that's great is Wreck-it Ralph and that movie is inspired by video games as a whole. It's not like an Assassin's Creed, which adapts an already established story. I don't really know where I'm going with this or why I started out with this, since the video game stuff comprises, maybe, 10% of the whole movie and maybe even less. But you know the drill here, the lead character (who loves video games) is a bullied geek who can't defend himself, a virgin and hasn't kissed a girl yet. Typical, but that's the way they wanted to tell their story.

It's a stupid way to tell it, yes, but that's the story they wanted to tell. This is very much a retread of the Forbidden Kingdom. In that movie, a skinny white boy who's a massive martial arts film buff, finds himself transported to ancient China, where he is forced to learn to be better at martial arts than the actual experts in record time and save the locals from nefarious villains. That pretty much describes this movie right down to a T. And don't even get me started on the whole white savior angle, which is another thing entirely. I'm not gonna focus on that in this review, at least that's what I'm hoping for.

I'll be straight up with you, I wasn't really expecting much from this. My hopes/expectations are instantly diminished the second I see a movie like this. Because I know the characters will be complete and utter stereotypes (which this lead was) and the characters will be one-dimensional (which these characters were).
