League of Gods

The Good= Love the Lore and the How Crafted this Fantasy World seems to be. Also Loved the Visual. I just loved how everything just looks From the Use of Magic to the Costumes to even the World of this film itself. And I also Enjoyed the Opening Narration to Introduce us to the word. Which was really cool IN My Own Personal Opionion. And although I'm Not sure if this is considered a Positive but I'm going to anyways, to me I found the First Fight of the Film So Epic it kind of feels like a Climatic Caliber Fight from an Average Fantasy Film. I also just liked how easy it is to know what's going on. At The start of the Film to a certain extent, and hare's what I mean by that although they don't tell you they got to that point but what they do tell you is the Mission of the Band of Heros. And I also Like how clearly they explain Emperor's Backstory, through Flashbacks. And Finally I think that last thing that I Like about this film is that it's pretty much Clean and Cut in terms of what kind of Fantasy Film this is and what they are trying to achieve in the film. And Unless I'm Missing anything else that should do it for the Positives.

The Bad= What Really Bogs me down about this film is how much the First Two Traveling Companions Really Grinds on my Nerves Especially The Frist One. I wouldn't say they are Annoying but close, and because of them I always stop at the very spot every time that I watch it so Far. And speaking of I found the Animation the Both of them Really Bad, so much so they Feel and Look Obvious Out of Place, maybe that's their intention I don't know? Because Unlike with say Space Jam where The Live Action Actors Both look and feel like they are Actually interacting with the Cartoon Characters be it in the Cartoon World or in our Real World, that doesn't seem to be the case with this film. In This Film the Animation for the Two Traveling Companions just Feels and Looks Really Disjointed to me. As to the Regards of them Interacting with the Live Action Actor, Jet Li, I Think? In this Case? Anyways I think the I think the Reasons Might be is that the First is I just feel Both of the Traveling Companions just Both Looks and Feels way Too Small. Because to me they both Feel and Look about the Size of a Two-Inch Action Figures. And Unless I'm Seeing things, I think their Sizes Changes from Scene to Scene? And finally moving away from the Two Traveling Companions, The Dubbing Just Feels Really Funny and Not in A Good Way to me, as I feel that the Movants of their Mouths just simply don't Match the Dialog.

Final Thoughts= I Really Hope that the Next Time if there is a Next Time that I Decide to give this Film Another Chance I'm able to Ignore the Personalities, along with everything else about the Two Traveling Companions, because I think that is the only thing that is really hold this Film Back for me Personally.

I thought Chinese are getting better at making movies after watching the mermaid,dragon blade and journey to the west. The story is about an evil king with a beautiful empress who is a nine tail fox demon. Our heros must find a legendary sword and together defeat the villains.We have a villain general riding on black panther like he man, a hero who flies on weird rings, another hero with wings and more blah blah.Sooo much potential completely ruined. The movie is filled with cgi and action but no space for story or character development. They put too much in one movie.The scenes jump from one action scene to other without any connection. My head still hurts watching this mess.Even the action and visuals were very confusing and too fast. Just when an action scene ends another one starts without giving any room for the characters to interact.There was no proper introduction to the setting and any details about the life of character's.In the second half a little bit drama made me give this five stars. A disappointment from Jet li who tried to be gandalf in this movie. I couldn't stop laughing when they showed signs of a sequel at the end. Finally a great comment from a youtuber.

"It's all fun and games until a baby goes cgi".

This is absolutely by far, one of the worst Chinese mythology adaptation I've ever seen in my 28 years as a Chinese. The biggest flaw is how the characters had almost no resemblance to their original selves, they were "westernized" for the sake of appealing to the western audience. The story was all over the place, pointless and the screen play was obviously rushed - where it felt like the director had a checklist of what to do and just went with it. They took the essential core of Chinese mythology and just littered it with as much explosions as possible. I mean, space ships... really?

As for any saving grace, I'd give the movie some props for having a very decent audio mastering prowess. The LFE was taut, it wasn't overbearing and it has a sense of weight whenever the scene asks for it. There's also some good usage of surround effects, voices pan with very nice and wide separation that makes it a little eerie to listen to at times.

China's visual department has definitely came a long way. They're still a few steps behind Hollywood as a whole, but they're definitely closer than ever. Good effort by the VFX team, unfortunately the decision in making the whole movie look like the Avengers was a big turn off.

This is a mediocre movie at best and most of the time, it's just simply bad. It deserves a 3 simply because of its audio presentation and a nod to the VFX team. Other than that, this movie belongs in the litter box of garbage movies.

Maybe there's a translation issue, but it seemed like i was watching a parody of a vintage 'Monkey Magic' episode filmed at the Atlantis resort in Dubai

I'm surprised to read so many low ratings on this movie, this is my favorite movie to date in this genre, I love Martial Arts movies , especially fantasy ones and this has everything you could possibly want. The characters are creative, great costumes/make up, lots of fun CGI, cloud cities, immortal warlord bad guys, evil demons, out of this world kung fu, and action action action. Wuxia movies are a ton of fun, not to be taken too seriously, after all they're literally out of this world stories about demons and heros. If you liked The Serpent & the White Snake, or Monkey King, True Legend, The Four series, or the Tai Chi Hero / Zero, then you'll love this.
