Two films called THE GUARDIANS have come out this year. I thought the Russian CGI superhero film was bad, but this 45 minute effort makes it look like a masterwork by comparison. This film is a really lame martial-temple-under-attack type movie, clearly indebted to the classic kung fu movies of old. The heroes are a diverse bunch of monks and street fighters, the enemy some bland, red-clad ninja types. After endless set-up, the action moves to the local woods where we are treat to some really lame fight choreography. Slow motion is overused and the basic talents of the participants are badly shot to the degree that they all look like idiots. In the end, this is a real joke.
