'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' for idiots and children.
So Chow Yun-fat is a monk who has this magic scroll but doesn't have a name, yeah, and he stays young for like sixty years and then he has to find a new guy, yeah, but then there are also Nazis and a prophecy and the new chosen one is a stupid white American child (played accurately by Seann William Scott).
The action scenes are alright, but nothing special. The first scene was particularly good, but after that the rest of the movie goes somewhat down hill. There are a lot of scenes that don't quite work, and then peter out (mostly fight scenes - Mr Funktastic and his henchmen were particularly embarrassing), and a lot of plot holes that get glossed over. How exactly will the scroll let you take over the world? Or is it just... generally magic? Why, after over half a century, is the old Nazi guy still wearing his old uniform? Maybe he's just ran out of clean clothes that fit.
I enjoyed it when I was younger, and watched it with a friend, but even then it was in the same sarcastic way that I would enjoy anything that involved ninjas fighting Nazis. It's a fair amount of fun at times though, and wasn't completely horrendous. Also I don't mean to be too hard on the actors, they did pretty well with what they got - the script needed work, though.
