Now, I wanted to like and enjoy this 2006 multi-cultural movie titled "Jadesoturi" (aka "Jade Warrior") from writers Antti-Jussi Annila, Marko Jatkola, Petri Jokiranta and Iiro Küttner. But it was just so difficult to get into the atmosphere and whole concept of the movie.
The storyline told in "Jadesoturi" fell completely short of providing me with much of any entertainment. And it was somewhat of a scrambled mess of a storyline to sit through. And I have to admit that my attention span was quickly waning as the storyline trotted on and on without delivering anything worthwhile watching.
"Jadesoturi" has an interesting enough cast list, all of which I was not familiar with. It should be noted that they had managed to bring in talented actors and actresses from both the Finnish and Chinese side of the story.
Visually then "Jadesoturi" was a nice enough movie, for sure. But visual effects, visual presentation and special effects can only do so much for a movie whose storyline just never found any rooting. There were some nice enough fights and cinematography throughout the course of the movie, but it just didn't prove enough for a lack of a proper storyline.
I remember sitting down to watch "Jadesoturi" back in the mid-2000s, maybe even the late 2000s, but I have to be bluntly honest and say that all I remembered from the movie was the title and the cover.
My rating of "Jadesoturi" from director Antti-Jussi Annila lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
