Enter the Warriors Gate (2016)

6/10

Nemesis4215 July 2018

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.

mindless entertainment

nhojnivra20 January 2017

A bit funny, but trying too hard only to give us a mindless entertainment. With the presence of a very good actor Dave Bautista and an action-packed trailer, it's very unfortunate to get what seems to be a spoiled food out of a sought after delicacy.The cast has a lot of potentials however they were all murdered by poor scripting, and exaggerated acting by some actors.The plot is somehow interesting, to see some kind of a gamer turned to be the actual hero himself, but only turned out to be a cheesy fantasy action film that only exists if there's a beautiful woman to be saved.Another downside of the film were its special effects, where it seems to forget that it's already 2000's and we are in the era where visual effects are one of the most significant factors when it comes to fantasy films.Anyway, despite these disadvantages, the movie delivered decent action sequences (martial arts and sword fights) and a cool bike chase scene.

For what it was I liked it just fine.

subxerogravity9 May 2017

Especially like Dave Bautista as the villain in this movie. Bautista's proving to be a very entertaining guy. Not on the level of The Rock just yet when It comes to wrestlers turn actors but definitely someone I will look out for if he's in a movie.

The warriors gate is the wishful fantasy of all gamers. That the skills they required while putting in long hours in front of a game screen could possibly pay off in real life. Of course we don't want gamers going around mimicking Grand Thief Auto or thinking combat from your couch playing Call of Duty is as real as real combat.

Which is why the movie used a backdrop of ancient China (That and the movie was backed by Chinese mula). It's a classic game plot of a young hero having to though the Terran, battle an army of warriors, and get to the last master in order to save the princess and free her world, and the movie plays out like a group of geeks talking about the stereotypes of video games on some YouTube video.

Aiding this gamer is a Chinese Kung Fu warrior breed Form birth to protect the princess and a wizard who gives you special potions and stuff along the way. Both of these characters are actually greatly underused in this film to. The movie holds a resemblance to 2008's the Forbidden Kingdom, which also under uses it's primary characters(Those characters being played by superstars Jackie Chan and Jet Li). I would actually recommend seeing that movie over this one.

The best part of the Eneters the Warriors Gate is the relationship between the gamer and his Kung fu master guide. The gamer is suppose to be a fish out of water, but mostly the movie is about the gamer trying to loosen up his uptight warrior friend. Like I said the film's whole persona is basically geeks talking about the basics of every game.

Just OK, but Jackie Chan and Jet Li did do it batter a few years ago in The Forbidden Kingdom. The action and adventure escalates perfectly like a game getting more difficult, but at times it does get far too long as it's a lot of talk that does not seem to end when it should, but it's worth taking a look just to see Bautista's perfect cartoon villainy.

Keep this gate closed

Wizard-810 August 2019

It's pretty obvious that the makers of this French-Chinese co-production were really trying hard to make this movie appealing to major Hollywood studios, what with most of the dialogue being in English, the casting of David Bautista in a key role, and the hero being an American youth. However, no Hollywood studio was apparently willing to release the end results to American theaters, and it's pretty clear why. Quite often the enterprise doesn't have the "oomph" of a major Hollywood studio production; it's not seriously cheap-looking, but all the same it's missing something many times. I could have overlooked that fact had the movie compensated in other areas, but the movie falls short in some key areas. The whole "American kid transported to a fantasy land" angle has already been done to death, and this telling doesn't really have many new ideas to add some freshness. It's more humorous this time around, though quite frankly I found most of the humor to be juvenile and embarrassing. The main problem with the movie, however, is that its storytelling style is often not very clear. The script seems to be missing key explanations in several areas, and also the direction/editing in other places makes it hard to follow what is happening. Kids may be more forgiving towards this movie than their parents, but why subject them (and yourself) to this movie when there are plenty of superior family movies that will entertain both kids and adults?

Best viewed as Forbidden Kingdom -- Lite

A_Different_Drummer27 December 2016

The word on the street was that this was a riff on one of my all-time favorite films, Forbidden Kingdom 2008, so I could not resist checking it out.

(Word to the wise, if you have not already seen FK, and you like MMA and/or Wushu and/or Fantasy and/or Adventure, check it out. FK has humble beginnings, features two of the greatest cinematic martial artists of all time - Jackie Chan and Jet Li -- a killer script, great scenery, and solid performances. Some reviewers, including this one, think it is one of the best of its kind ever done.)

Let's start with what Warriors Gate was intended to be, and work from that.

The production team clearly thought they would "improve" on FK by adding more "teen humor." Presumably they also felt this would more than compensate for the film's considerably lighter "feel" and the awkward void formed by not having ANY famous film martial artists at all.

Also, Forbidden Kingdom had a certain edge of malice and unpredictability in the script which, oddly, only increased its impact and its fan base. This film lacks those features as well and, on its best day in its best suit, comes across more as "Forbidden Kingdom Lite," or perhaps even a Disney knockoff of the original.

Which is not to say it is not worth a watch. A lot of effort was put into the humor aspect (as explained above) and this does keep things moving along.

(For example -- if you are film buff, you will remember fondly the famous tag line from Airplane 1980 - "Don't call me Shirley" which became a sort of iconic inside joke for years afterwards. This script contains a number of attempts to mimic that sort of dialog, my favorite being -- "KILL HIM! -- slashing noise -- "NO, NOT HIM. HIM.")

Bottom Line: One hour and 45 minutes of reasonable entertainment. However, it suffers from the "curse" common to all knock-offs. Unless you see the original, you will never know what you are missing.

It's no classic, but some tongue-in-cheek humour and a generally light-hearted tone makes this East-West mishmash more entertaining than you're probably expecting it to be

moviexclusive18 November 2016

It may wear its tag of being the first significant 'French-Chinese co-production' proudly on its sleeve, but 'The Warrior's Gate' is really no more than a rehash of another East-meets-West action comedy that you may remember from about a decade ago called 'The Forbidden Kingdom'. Like the latter, it sends an American teenager back to ancient China where he learns to summon the warrior inside of him and teams up with a noble companion to save a kingdom from the clutches of an evil warlord. Like the latter, its humour is based on self-aware anachronism and its action of the traditional 'wushu' variety. And last but not least, like the latter, it lets its modern-day Caucasian male protagonist fall in love with a steely yet gentle female from that era, the inter-ethnic coupling not only to pander to the teenage demographic but also to ensure its appeal to audiences on both sides of the continent. And yet, if you're willing to put aside the obvious similarities, you're likely to find this reiteration more entertaining than you're expecting it to be.

Such faint praise however is also premised on little expectation at the start, which is a prerequisite for any manner of enjoyment. You should not, in the first instance, expect it to make much sense, for it gives scant regard to logic or coherence. As its hero Jack Bronson (newcomer Uriah Shelton) does, you should simply accept with little question that the English-speaking Chinese warrior Zhao (Mark Chao) in steel armour and straw hat who suddenly appears next to his bedside one evening has indeed travelled through a time portal in a waist-height drum-shaped chest he had received as a gift from the antiques dealer he helps out at after school. You should also accept the warrior's explanation that the young lady who shows up with him dressed like a princess (Ni Ni) is indeed one, and that she is on the run from some very terrible people. And while we're at it, you should accept that you are the hero they seek called 'The Black Knight' – because that is the name of your avatar in a similar video game – and not hesitate to journey back in time to fulfil your destiny. Like we said, disbelief is pointless if you intend to buy into its premise.

And so begins a fantasy adventure that sees Jack jump into the portal when said Princess Sulin is kidnapped by fierce-looking Mongol and Viking-like warriors and taken back to ancient China, where the barbarian named 'Arun the Cruel, the Horrible, the Terrible, the Miserable' (or 'Arun the Cruel' in short, played by Dave Bautista) has arranged their forced marriage in order to become Emperor. Jack thus teams up with Zhao to journey across the undulating lands to Arun's lair, with some timely help here and there from a trickster wizard named Wu (Francis Ng) who may or may not have something to do with Jack's current predicament. Theirs is a buddy trip, where encounters with a vile mountain spirit (Kara Wai) and a trio of wicked witches (think Macbeth) will foster the bond of brotherhood between them, such that Zhao will come to teach Jack the basics of kung fu and Jack will impress upon Zhao how the latter's life could be a happier place if he simply learnt to have fun from time to time.

It is no mystery whether Jack and Zhao will rescue Princess Sulin in time before her fateful marriage with Arun, or for that matter if Jack will eventually turn out to be the valiant 'Black Knight' that prophecy had foretold. Neither the climactic rescue on the morning of the forced union nor the ensuing one-on-one between Jack and Arun will raise your pulse – you've probably seen bigger, better and more exciting ones from China/ Hong Kong period war epics like this year's 'Call of Heroes'. Indeed, what's more notable is how director Matthias Hoene balances comedy and drama to keep the tone jocular without being satirical and thoughtful without being melodramatic. That is really more difficult than it looks, considering its far- fetched premise and the tendency of such East-West mishmashes to end up reinforcing the worst cultural stereotypes of each. It is these same sensitivities that inform the somewhat multiple endings, which suffice to say are specifically crafted in order not to land up forcing Jack and Sulin to choose his or her world over the other.

In the end, the fact that it doesn't take itself too seriously is essentially why this potential misfire turns out a pleasant surprise by being mildly winning. Like we said at the start, we weren't expecting much from this rip-off of 'The Forbidden Kingdom', which was itself diverting but disposable entertainment. The same can be said of 'The Warrior's Gate', but at least not Hoene or its French co-writers (Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen) or its East-West cast deny. Heck, even the typical over-the-top villain such as Arun gets in on the fun with a running joke about his over-enthusiastic but dull right-hand man Brutus who keeps executing the wrong person. The young lead cast of Shelton, Chao and Ni Ni also have good chemistry between them, such that we root for the Shelton and Chao as well as Shelton and Ni Ni as buddies and lovers respectively from two different eras. As long as you keep your expectations right, you won't end up disappointed, which is pretty much already an accomplishment for a movie like this that you're probably thinking will bomb.

Bad. No. wait. Very very very BAD.

zzk200125 March 2017

This is maybe the worst movie of 2016... wait this was made in 2016? It looks like a 90s Nickelodeon straight to DVD movie with CGI that was made from 3D Movie Maker program.

The acting is not to bad if this was 1995. (sadly it's 2016 made) The over all plot is good and would make for a nice story. (if done correctly)sadly it wasn't.

We see our hero ask for help in fighting as he has zero skills to speak of. So the skilled worrier teaches him... 1 thing. Only 1 simple move (hold hands out). Then somehow magically he becomes a super fighting ninja that's taking down 50 to 60 guys with no problem.

Top that off with what looks like half the movie cut out (very bad editing) They free the princess and use a catapult to get away, The next scene you see the princess locked up and the main bad guy walking into frame to attack our hero...WTF just happened? The main bad guy should be miles away from them and where the heck did the wizard and warrior go?

Anyways... He saves the day and goes back home all to some how make his own video game in 1 night..1...NIGHT! based off his "adventure" to only sell the game for $25,000 to save their house from getting taken away.

Even by 1990s standers this was a bad movie. Don't waste your time.

An Enjoyable Feel Good Coming of Age Fantasy Adventure

tabuno10 January 2019

12 August 2017. Enter the Warrior's Gate is Matthew Broderick meets The Neverending Story (1984) and Big Trouble in Little China (1986). This entertaining coming of age adventure movie joins East and West in a nice cultural fusion. There are hints of comedy with the cultural clashes between East and West, between old and new as well as between magic and practical human endeavor. While not as epic or dramatic on scale as Yimou Zhang's Hero (2004) with Jet Li, Enter the Warrior's Gate offers breath taking landscapes, typical American commerce and juvenile bullying, and the martial art adventures of a young protagonist that at times seems to be pretty fumbling like Kurt Russell's character in Big Trouble in Little China but in a youthful, dumb sort of way like a younger Matthew Broderick. The movie script is stretched in a few places to make the pacing and the plot seem to connect and just manages to keep the entire movie intact. For an enjoyable, if not spectacular, feel-good movie, this is one of those movies to watch.

A complete mess

bbshockwave19 March 2018

Warning: Spoilers

What can I say... this thing was partially written by Luc Besson, but you would never guess it from the ridiculously incompetent mess the plot is. We have seen a hundred similar movies already where the protagonist is whisked away from our world to a fantasy/sci-fi setting so they can become the prophesied hero and save the day. Enter the Warrior's Gate does this in a generic fantasy-land vaguely based on ancient China... vaguely, because it never uses the interesting mythology associated with it.

Our main character is Jack (Uriah Shelton), who is making a God of War/Mortal Kombat blend fighting game with superb graphics in his free time at home, while helping out his single mother by temping at a grocery store. Because sure, that's how high graphic games are made, by one teenager, not by a huge team of programmers and designers and testers... Jack hangs out with his nerdy friends while being the best player in his own game (duh) as the Black Knight. However, his skill attracts the attention of a wizard in a distant dimension, who thinks he is the cliche Chosen One to kill the villain and save the princess. So after getting an ancient pot from his boss, one day Jack awakens with a sword pointed at his throat, courtesy of Zhoo (Mark Chao), the princess' no-nonsense martial artist bodyguard (because that's the way to recruit someone whose help you need). The super stereotypical Princess Su Lin (Ni Ni) details the plot - evil barbarian warlord Arun (Dave Bautista) wants to conquer her lands and marry her, and she asks the fabled Black Knight for help. The movie tries to portray Su Lin as a badass warrior princess while she gets shown our world and goes through the cliche antics you see in every such movie (like eating ice cream and shopping in a mall), but it really doesn't work since she is soon kidnapped and spends the rest of the movie like Princess Peach in a Mario game.

Jack reluctantly follow Zhoo to the other dimension through the pot to save the Princess. The movie tries to be funny and Zhoo's plan is so ridiculously direct ("Fight our way in, kill the villain, save the princess, fight our way out") it could be a parody of cliche video game plots, but sadly they take it dead seriously. The rest of the movie's running time is spent with intercut scenes without any transition of:

-Zhoo and Jack fighting various enemies at random while getting on each other's nerves due to their differences

-Arun trying and failing to woo the princess he is forcing to marry her, and engaging in unfunny repeated jokes with his main henchman about executing people who bring him bad news.

A useless wizard also shows up here and there to speed up the plot and teleports out whenever he could actually help our "heroes". I put that in parenthesis, because... they aren't really heroic. One example, they try to cross a bridge which is blocked by a stereotypical witch brewing something in a cauldron. She refuses to move and points out they need to respect their elders. Their answer? They repeatedly prod and push her until they straight up attack her and Jack sets her ablaze and kills her. I played plenty of RPGs to know that was a catastrophically failed random encounter...

After encountering man-eating nymphs (WTF?) who turn into tree-creature dryads, and two short scenes of the heroes bonding - with Zhoo teaching Jack martial arts by showing him ONE move to always open hits with outstretching his arms, and Jack teaching Zhoo to swim - they finally get to the enemy camps... And Zhoo's plan to get in is to surrender. They are about to be executed, escape, get recaptured and then Deus Ex Machina wizard guy saves them, with Jack suddenly being able to do kung fu moves on wireworks like in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon... without any practice.

Jack and Su Lin get catapulted (you read right) to a bamboo forest and Jack fights and super easily kills Arun there... aaaaand CUT, we go to a scene of Su Lin being crowned. Wait, you mean the giant barbarian army just shrugged and went home after their leader was killed? Seriously?

You'd think the movie was over, but nope, 10 more minutes of pointless subplots are resolved - Jack kisses the Princess he has known for like half a day, gets chased by the royal guard because this is punishable by death, despite him just saving the kingdom, and then Zhoo relents and lets him go because he learned during the movie not to be uptight with rules. Jack returns to Earth, finishes his home-made game one afternoon (seriously), gets it published and becomes rich, and one day finds Su Lin in earth clothes in his room who decided to spend some time there and hang out with him. The End.

The movie is a mess, the main plot is threadbare but the movie finds every excuse to deviate from it with pointless, never followed up subplots, like the witch, or the quickly abandoned training scene. How about this as an example - in the final battle Jack uses the wizard's magic powder on the main henchman, only to have it grow him to ogre size. Aaaand... they have a brief battle and Jack escapes. They never face the guy again and it is never resolved.

The humor is atrociously bad, and forced. The main characters are cliche and boring. The CGI is OK sometimes (like with the dryad-like nymphs) and terrible in other cases (like the ogre-sized henchman). The fight scenes are well choreographed, but repetitive - I often spotted Jack fighting the same guy again and again in the crowd whom he already defeated 5 times.

Overall, don't bother watching this, it is not even enjoyably bad, just bad. There were way better "fantasy setting people cross over with current day Earth" movies made in the eighties and nineties, even Masters of the Universe or Beastmaster 2 was better.

A funny, entertaining, lighthearted, original movie

dawgsfan9219 August 2017

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.

Fun and Humorous

facesofine13 August 2017

Warning: Spoilers

Sorry to see so many negative reviews, but I enjoyed it very much. At first, it seemed to be a knock-off of Forbidden Kingdom, but it isn't. The only similarity is that the hero is being transported back in time. But story and plot are so different. This one is light-hearted, humorous, and, most of all, fun. At least, this one is more believable (within its fantasy premise). If you're looking for a serious take, it's not for you. But if you appreciate movies like Shaolin Soccer, you may enjoy this one.

Seriously Ripping Off Forbidden KINgdom?!

DuskShadow1 January 2017

THe title says it all.

Hoenstly folks , even I grew up watching a ( white) kid in king arthurs court and the various spin offs.

I have seen so many anime, that the whole going to a world not your own, whisked away against your will, motif, loses its luster.

THis was a bloody rip off of that film forbidden kingdom, which starred jackie chan and jet lee, and COULD have been great, if not for the measly and pitiful excuse for a boy child that was the starring lead.

THIS movie is the same. And yes, I do just so happen to be a gamer, and have seen a FUDGE ton of films and things, been into history, and all that...JAZZ.

THIS MOVIE WAS CHEAP AND TACTLESS!!!! GARBAGE! AVOID! CIAO!!

"Homage" to John Hughes

midgetman-7648319 October 2020

Cute teen romance with a touch of comedy, a lot of action and and modern visual effects. "The Karate Kid" meets "Weird Science" meets "The Last Star Fighter". It's a sweet up-to-date teen flick reminiscent of John Hughes films from the 1980's. A meek, 21st century video-gamer teenage boy crosses paths with a Chinese Princess from ancient China. He is transported back in time; with the help of her last remaining bodyguard and the imperial wizard he must prevent her involuntary marriage to the barbarian ruler rescue her from the enemy to save the kingdom.

Waste of Time

maildandotiya2 March 2021

Although the opening scene of the movie made me think that it might be a good movie but expectations falling apart from the moment lead cast started acting.

Dave Batista has tried his level best but unfortunately the movie doesn't have anything that has impressive. Don't watch it.

Just good entertainment

christineballone5 February 2022

This must be appealing to the younger crowd but I'm a senior and have always loved fantasy books and films! I don't care if so many things are impossible and incorrect , the point is it's an entertaining fantasy feature. Sure it's been done before but so many other movies too!

The acting is good, there is lots of humor and the SFX are nice too! Beautiful landscapes add to the quality of the film! I had fun watching it and I'm sure ,if you're a fantasy lover , you will too!

Good Clean Fun

rdamian19636 June 2021

This movie is surprisingly entertaining. It is a knock off of Forbidden Kingdom. The movie is more light hearted with a bit more tongue in cheek humor. It is overly predictable and a bit cliche. However despite its short comings, the movie kept me entertained from beginning to end. So grab some popcorn, don't take the movie too seriously and have a laugh or too.

Not fit for any purpose

rossedwin16 March 2019

The occasional bad language and killings make this movie not fit for little kids. The cliche Last Starfighter Forbidden Kingdom poor ripoff makes it too cheap for modern teens. And the lack of substance and any intelligence makes it mind numbing for adults. In brief. It's rubbish.

You're the Black Knight

nogodnomasters5 August 2017

Warning: Spoilers

Jack Bronson (Uriah Shelton) is very good at video games, not so good when bullied (Dakota Daulby). His character is the Black Knight. His single mom (Sienna Guillory) has serious financial woes. Jack helps out by working for Mr. Chang, who gifts Jack with an ancient chest, or basket. Through a series of circumstances, Jack finds himself in magical ancient China needing to save the princess (Ni Ni) from Arun the Cruel and Terrible (Dave Bautista). He is aided by a fighter (Mark Chao) and a wizard (Francis Chun-Yu Ng).

The film is designed for the tween crowd. It has funny moments while it moves like a video game. Side kick Brutus (Zha Ka) provides humor.

Guide: No F-words, sex, or nudity. Urination scene. Language like "the shitz" my LOL moment

Skip it

donpuj1 June 2017

skip this one looks like china is turning its focus on to fantasy land for boy gamers

It just ruins the ancient china aspect of it. Any time you see people who were obviously not in Ancient China, it just turns into a scifi movie and it becomes absolutely classless. Trash to say the least.

Zero feeling, more like kids movies

remcoshtc26 October 2019

Warning: Spoilers

This movie has been made for kids entertainment. It is nice and funny but thats it, plot is like a 90's movie. From the beginning it has zero details that was bothering me. For someone that gets game characters in his room he is reacting like its normal and it all goes in a flow and the story jumps from his life to a never ending story in the time of the princess without any deeper feeling and explanation. The part in the end was something they had to put in the middle and then go further in a slow story with feeling. The thought was really great but i was so disappointed it turned out so bad.

What a boring little film...

RosanaBotafogo12 February 2023

A teenager passionate about video games is accidentally transported into the magical universe of medieval China. To restore peace between two empires, save the life of a princess and become a valiant warrior and master of Kung Fu, this hero will have to use all his "player" skills. And all of this has to be done before the final gong of "GAME OVER" sounds.

What a boring little film, even for an unpretentious afternoon session, the characters are actually cute, the absurd but interesting plot, now the terrible dialogues or the translation that sinned a lot... Almost boring, especially the parts of the fights, badly I managed to win...
