Michelle Yeoh is total win, and will steal every scene just by breathing.
It's a movie Law that ancient mechanisms feel no passage of time -- no rust, no decay, just a light coating of dust (which must be the protective part, eh?) that is sure to get all over our heroes and yet.. they remain oddly clean.
(Yes, we need those ancient engineers. Never mind the Roman engineers with their puny aqueducts and roads that still exist.)
Yes, that movie was Bad, with a capital T for terrible. Could they act any more wooden? And the plot? Where was the plot? Oh, sure, there was this bad guy, and this other bad guy, and a jewel, and an ancient sorceress (and her ancient curse)..but where did the story go?
And wasn't there some mention of dragons? Where did those go?

All in all, Kung-Fu Panda was loads better.
