The largest Chinese-Australian co-production to date, 7 Guardians of the Tomb stars Golden Globe (R) and Emmy (R) winner Kelsey Grammer ('Boss,' 'The Last Tycoon'), Kellan Lutz (The Legend of Hercules, Twilight) and multi-award-winning Chinese actress and singer Bingbing Li.
The film lacks dash to the dialogue, excitement to the set-pieces, and enduring creepiness to the malevolent arachnids. Nothing in Guardians of the Tomb has a decent bite.
Rendall can only do so much with the limited budget and thespian talents gathered, leaving "7 Guardians of the Tomb" straining to be the high-flying good time at the movies it wants to become.
Tedious, dull and monotonous seem to be the three main offers. Yup, a perfect trio of words to summarise this garbage, an absurdly monumental waste of Australian and Chinese finances.
