I am always being fan of Chinese and Hong Kong cinema and have seen few very good movies in the past and when I came to know about this star studded fantasy movie I was very excited to watch the movie and soon all my excitement is been killed with this CGI created mess and I am still trying to recover from this disaster and still not been able to understand what was this and why was this made? It's feel like you are playing some sort of video game but the control is not in your hands, with too much use of CGI and uneven screenplay this movie is not less then a torture.
The movie has a huge cast and when it comes to acting none of them has disappointed, all of them had put in their best efforts but still couldn't revive the movie, the problem of the movie is that the characters is not been introduced properly and they just comes from here and there.
Screenplay of the movie is the main cause of this debacle as the screenplay is filled with CGIs and it's keeps on jumping from one scene to another without giving any time to viewers to understand what is going on. The climax of the movie has pointed towards the second part of the movie which in my opinion must be the conclusion of the movie.
I was very lucky that I haven't seen the movie is theatre hence I had the option to pause to bring my mind and my body back in senses but the viewers who had seen the movie in theaters should be given a bravery award for tolerating this disaster. Please avoid this mess and take some decent sleep. This movie actually deserves zero star but I'll give it two just because of the decent acting which is the only saviour.
