Zhu xian I

I watched this movie because I loved Xiao Zhan in The Untamed, and he was one of the lead actors in this film. I haven't read the novel that it's based on. However, I heard that the novel spans 8 volumes! So, I didn't know what to expect plot-wise (I mean, how do you fit that much plot into less than two hours?).

The beginning of the film was pretty hilarious, but the plot/direction kind of disintegrated from there. Some of the transitions, character introductions, and plot points were confusing. Honestly, the "twist/emotional scene" near the end lacked power not particularly because of any acting issues, but that I didn't feel enough build up in the characters' relationship to be invested in the story.

Honestly, I feel like this was a situation where the entire production was disconnected from each other. The script was weak, the film wasn't long enough to fully develop the large cast of characters, they tried to include too many elements that weren't done well, and they probably tried to cut corners on production costs (that CGI, anyone?). Speaking to some of the other reviews: People need to produce better movies and not expect actors to carry the full weight of a bad script. With that being said, if all the cogs were at their best, this would be a completely different movie.

As mindless entertainment though, the acting was decent, there was a lot of situational humor, some fighting and explosions and love triangles and drama. It's worth a watch, but I probably wouldn't watch again.

Being a fan of the legend of Chusen and the lead actor 😊 Xiao Zhan l am please they put a great movie together. Is a long story so see how the movie develop a cohesive story was very nice.

Movie is interested and good enough for audience. We can know the actor Xiao Zhan also tried hard by watching behind the scene.

Good Job Xiao Zhan !! I am hoping to see next movie of you .

I loved the special effects of the film.

The performances, especially of Xiao Zhan, were in place and presented the character Zhang Xiaofan as a naïve man who gradually gets to know the world from his innocent point of view.

Then the character evolves to the point of becoming a being full of resentment and pain. This makes him an enemy of those who once saw him grow up.

The plot is like an irony of life, where a person is innocent until circumstances corrupt him. As the Swiss-French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau said: "Man is born good and society corrupts him"

Circumstances, deception, and malicious people harm a being who is clean, who has not hurt anyone, and who only wants to move on.

This part I must say is very emotional and manages to transmit that feeling to the audience to tears.

The settings are beautiful and all the characters interact harmoniously.

It's an excellent movie to watch.

The story line of this movie based novel "Zhu Xian". I have read and watched drama that based from this novel too. This movie production is good. The director made so much effort to put some of comedy. I was watching this movie after busy work. Glad that I watch this movie that contain comedy. I have great laugh. Finally I can release of my stress.
