The plot is very sad, and largely borrowed from some better Indiana Jones (as in one of the episodes literally says in plain text). Here and scientist, archaeologist, and ancient legends, and the ancient fetishes and the ancient secret temples, and even a special staff with a precious stone, through which must pass the sunbeam. At this concept study plot moves performed significantly worse than "Indiana Jones" (and worse, it would seem, and nowhere), so this film actually is beyond the possibility of comprehension. The Oscars could be giving the rampant idiocy, but such nominations have not yet idea.
Any taken by the heroes of the film solutions was the height of idiocy, but this was immediately denied by the implementation of data solutions that looked the fact of even greater idiocy. Take, for example, the episode with the training kung fu in the ice. People came over distant lands to find treasure, but for some reason needed to beat each other, risking injury and it was impossible to work; but there are still a number of wandering pack of hungry wolves and Laggards in the way of valuable professional leave without using one; suddenly the wolves cleverly being snowballed and immediately begins drilling through the ice where no out of nowhere who undertook drilling rig... something like logical, consistently and thoughtfully developed each episode and the entire movie in the whole, left the end, only one big question: "what is this happened?!" But the viewer is constantly "wanted to impress the breadth of scope", showing the fashionable use of technology in the form of flying drones with GPS, by gongs on expensive cars and smashing them in the trash, then waste continually risking his life. And tellingly, none of characters don't even did that anything to worry about material or criminal liability. "At whose the expense of the Banquet" — remained frame. Of course, without a rich picture of the modern adventure film is generally no sense to remove, but when the actions and behavior of the characters stressed debility, it makes no quality of the final product.
It's strange, but usually the Jackie Chan it character shows typical male aggressiveness in love, most his enough, flirtation. In other cases, he finished with only teenage affectation and a suspicious modesty, as Director of Japanese anime. Probably romantic female personages such behavior may even like it, because leaves a lot of freedom for imagination. But for the role of a brutal man in the movie is looks very strange and ridiculous. In this movie, all the same often the character of Jackie Chan behaves with as silly-shy teen that so or in which did not develop. As usual, however.
About so called kung fu. Viewers accustomed to the fact that where Jackie Chan, there the default assumes the presence of brisk fights, dangerous stunts and fun. Everything here is made exclusively in the form of farce and absurdity: fight limp, boring tricks, and no fun. generally.
Special mention deserves the "zoo" of this film. Here it has a lot of things: lions, hyenas, snakes, wolves (only what remember). Of course, all "clay", paint with the help of computer technology. And all nothing but treatment animals the film is an additional red marker identified characteristics of heroes: idiots. When a normal person wants Leo not the crippled, it tries to stay away from him. But not then need to add gas and in the next 10 minutes Leo in the back seat you don't bother.
The ending actually surprised, because as in the cheesy Indian movie, suddenly began a General dance and synchronized affectation, where in the same row stood, even those who just polished each other's snout. It like hints "world peace" and"seasonable air", but the movie messed up a lot. (Although, is it possible in a similar way to ruin a bad movie, it is still a big question). In the end, the ending was a crumpled and literally — patentovannaja because the fate of the villains and their intentions remained unresolved, and about remorse or eliminate the motive to say forget.
Even with meaning of the film is very tight. I and do not understand what it wanted the antagonist to return the wealth or to gain power? When all rushed to dig pocket knives gold statues could think of the stupid desire to fill their pockets, but in all the rest of the conversation was about some sort of higher meaning and something like the restoration of historical justice... the Motivation of the other characters too big question: for what "yoked" so called Princess? for that it was necessary to risk the life of the main character? why risk it available?.. As they say, need to look for malice where all simply explained by stupidity.
The name used with stressed commercial purposes, no connection with classic "Armor of God" is not.
Conclusion. Rare stuff! However, nothing special from Jackie Chan have a long time coming not have the film — another proof of it.
