Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
hakusilverwolf A lot of people give this movie a very low rating despite its appeal. Honestly, I've seen worse movies. Just to be clear, I found it pretty awkward at first to watch because of the attempt to use realistic CGI which does look real enough at first glance but then also looks animated enough which causes the movements to be a bit stunted. You do get used to it, and I think that in the end, it worked well. The acting could definitely have been better, but I think that's just the actors themselves finding the new medium difficult to adjust to. I know multiple actors that were cast in the movie, and it's not their acting skills that fail. I do believe it's just that in the transfer of the motion capture into the final CGI product, that that's where most of the little nuances of acting were lost. The movie moves through its story really quickly, so you need to be able to keep track of many characters and many different plot directions at the same time to enjoy this movie. The plot itself was intriguing to me, but I found that the last fifteen minutes of this almost two- hour long movie is where most of the background information is explained. I've heard that there is a book to go along with this that helps to explain a lot. I did not read it, yet I understood what was going on in the movie okay. People are just used to a more straightforward plot line. I've also heard that it resembles other previous movies. I have no knowledge of these, so I don't know how much it resembles them or if it's truly plagiarism like this movie has been accused of. The ending definitely leaves off as a cliffhanger, but I don't know if there are any plans for a sequel. As of this time, I have watched this movie twice; once in Chinese with English subs, and once in English. I personally liked it better in Chinese because the dialogue matched with how the mouth moved, but if it's easier for you, the English dub isn't bad. And after watching it twice, I do appreciate it more the second time. If this movie was American, I don't think it would've gotten as much hate as it did. That being said, I am only going to give it a seven out of ten because of what I mentioned earlier in my review. I do think it's worth at least one watch, and after that then you can decide for yourself whether or not you liked it.
Michael Ledo This is Chinese 3D animation. The is in English and the DVD has English and Spanish subtitles options.The setting is on a fictional planet and initially centers around Asbel, a waiter at an inn. It quickly branches out into Spirit Warriors and the seven Dukes who lead them with each having a disciple. Asbel becomes a disciple of Silver, Duke #7. Asbel has a spirit beast and needs to obtain a blood weapon. Lady Vox, Duke 2 and her disciple are to go after Duke 5 Wind Walker for treason. Asbel who is 18 meets the 16 year old princess, also a disciple, who we find out stole her mother's "Soul Loop" (whatever that is) while in her womb (no further explanation on that one).The graphics were pretty good, similar to an RPG game compete with everyone in for that climax battle which was anti-climatic. The soul/spirit/powers rules and transfers seemed elusive and poorly explained. Four elements you control, or maybe you just control one, and some things like space and time really are not elements so why are they powers? Try not to think too hard.
kupukupumu First of all, I really want to like this movie, I do. I like the casts. I love animation. And seeing it was produced by two China giants, Wanda and Tencent, I was hoping at least it could be tiny entertaining.The CGI was fine, but the story telling is totally none. Some reviewers said you should read the book before you can understand the movie. That is totally rubbish. A movie is another powerful telling medium. If one had to read a book to understand a movie, then at the least it should provided some written reading to those who were going to watch the movie. To put it into comparison, people who do not read Tolkien's still can understand his Middle Kingdom in LOTR, although not fully.A waste of resource, casts and time.
yolandawww As a fan of Jue ji, I went to see it immediately after its releasing. The scene was just the same as what I had imagined-the appearance and personalities of the characters and the choice of actors. I give a score of 8 out of 10 partly because of the director's choice of the actors. But most importantly, the movie brought the people in the book and in my imagination onto the screen, making me feel that they had come into the real world or that I was in their world. However, I don't think Guo Jingming has given enough consideration to the feelings of those people who didn't read his book before. The relationships between characters were hard to figure out by watching the movie only. The emotions were hid so deeply in character's eyes and expressions that couldn't be sensed by audience at first. So I recommend you to read the book before going to the theater and pay more attention to the details while watching.
