An old 1967 Russian horror classic has got finally it's modern remake. The 3D film is a crossover production between Slavs and Western big, big money makers. As a result there's a rich visual sets and environment. The story is edgy, but unfortunately terribly disoriented. Chase, church and drunk dream scenes were the worst of all. Too much CGI, not enough style.

I can't be sure whether it was the English dub or just the screenplay, but Forbidden Kingdom is an unsatisfying combination of horror and camp that render the film painful at points. I was hoping for a film akin to Chinese Zodiac (2012) that relishes in its cheesiness, but this is more similar to (yet much more derivative than) Van Helsing (2004). Ultimately, it takes itself too seriously, with a mystery plot that has been done to death. The CGI is over the top, and the film is rarely fun.

Tedious and ultimately numbing fantasy/action film, not helped by a dreadful English dub (though Dance speaking in his distinctive brogue emerges unscathed), but this noisy and incoherent fantasy would likely not smell as sweet in any language; performances are uniformly pantomime over-the-top and the fantasy world presented manages to appear both garish and cheap looking.

Not at all what I was expecting and very uneven but still quite entertaining.
