9. The Forbidden Kingdom (March 24th)
The main character might not be the best, but this film is a martial art film which blends Chinese Mythology and great fight choreography together which more than makes up for the milk toast lead. Also, it features a fight scene between Jackie Chan and Jet Li. Hopefully, you have been convinced enough to check this film out.
10. Yu-Gi-Oh: Bonds beyond time (March 31st)
Sure this anime series about a children’s card game isn’t an essential watch but this film really goes over the top with this 10 year anniversary movie celebration.
