Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
pooplord x My 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.
gemmaz One word: Yes. A three in one experience: Home Alone, PBS's Nature, and Walker, Texas Ranger all in an hour and a half!Special effects: The special effects were excellent, particularly the sparkling light balls. We also enjoyed the animal to human transformations. Seamless. Law enforcement: The lawyers were accurately portrayed and incredibly competent considering the fees they were charging. The permit process was entirely plausible...I mean, who needs NEPA or EPA approval anyway? Animals: The killer chipmunk? Slam dunk. A falcon transforming into a fist? Yes please!Life lessons: The deep and riveting plot line of the alcoholic father and the lumber tycoon who finds his morality left us wanting more. Also Chuck was full of his usual cogent remarks on life's profundities. Fight scenes: We were on the edge of our seats. It IS Chuck. The little kid who kicks the bad lumberjack in the face was the icing on the cake.Political Correctness: comments like pull up your pantyhose (and be a man), and those environmentalist fairies were a couple gems. Choreography: three words -- lumberjack dance scene. Costume design: A great tour of some timeless 90s classics. Dad and Mom jeans a plenty!Fave quotes: "There were six of them (bad guys) and then there were five..." (because Chuck was kicking their butts!) "How very sad." "Sad this!"
Kirill Shagoyko I remember this film since My childhood - in those time, when it was in all the cinemas, I was just 5 y.o. But I still wonder about this interesting, beautiful and great movie, which full of love to the animals, to the forests, to the world, that surround us...We know Chuck Norris as a fighter, as a man, who shows to the bad guys the meaning of "honour" with fists and legs, but this time we'll see him as a hero, who has a magic power and a power of the nature itself. I'm glad to watch this movie in every possible time, and advise it to You too.Actually, I can't understand, why such great, wonderful, really perfect movie has low votes and bad reviews - I can't agree with people, who say about it like about "very simple, usual and not interesting movie", You may just to watch it, to understand, that it's not so.Here's the amazing movie for all Your family, as for children, as for grandfathers and grandmothers, for all audience. I very hope, that You'll find something interesting and really sensitive for Your soul and for Your heart after watching "The forest warrior".My mark is 10 out of 10, and I don't even think, that it may be another one!..
Dragofan Now come on all you pessimistic movie haters out there! This movie is a treasure! The problem is that no one really sees the true meaning behind this film. Before that, Chuck's acting is superb.....not bad!!! He is a model thespian and consumate interpeter of scripts. Now as for what this movie represents. The base for this movie came, no doubt, from C.S. Lewis. This movie is somewhat related to "Narnia," although is based upon "That Hideous Strength." The mountain in this movie represents humanity, and the femecological destiny of our planet according to Suzette Elgin in her treatise on human relations "The Gentle Art of Verbal Self Defense." Chuck represents the Pendragon, or the guardian of the Arthurian throne, son of Uthur Pendragon. He and the children, representing Logres, or the civilized realm of Arthurian Britain, are charged with further guarding humanity (the mountain) against the evil business tycoons. The business men are clearly a representation of Lewis' N.I.C.E. Furthermore, they are an indirect representation of our 20th century totalitarian fears. For the average person this may be a bit much to handle, but with Chuck's guidance, we can all understand the importance of this movie to our everyday lives.
