I recommend this movie for its action though. There's plenty of it and they usually last a good 10 minutes or so.

I'll second this review. If three people could have 1 child between the three of them, I'd describe this movie as the love child of Hero, The Wizard of Oz and The Karate Kid.
It sounds strange. In a lot of ways, it is strange. But it's a lot of fun, even if it's unbelievably cheesy sometimes.

I am going to shower to get that off and watch some Batman, Beetlejuice, and Big Fish.

Kind of a necro quote, but I'm mystified by why one of your complaints was that it was predictable. It's a not a whodunit. It's a classic, well-known story. Any deviation from that story would've made it, well, not that story. Do you dislike going to see Shakespeare in the theater or re-reading a book because there isn't a new plot twist or something?
I mean, I don't have any problem with you disliking the movie, but that particular complaint makes absolutely no sense.
