The miracle fighters

Yes, it's mostly a fantasy CGI green screen wire rope flying/jumping sequence after sequence film which can get really tiresome because theses movies have been done so many times, but I thought they did a quality job on all those elements including a bit of historical Chinese myth as plot backdrop. The three eyed toothy fish was hilarious. Acting was good. Entertaining as any to be found in this Chinese genre.

I have never seen a film quite like this and if, as I saw written in one review of it, it is a "proper Chinese Fantasy movie", I'll have to look for a few more of them because I loved it.

The plot lost me quite quickly but I don't really think that's the point. Watch it and you will see what I mean, that they really did have me with the fish.

Trouble is to figure out the story before pursuing special effects. Knowing that we are 20 years behind in technology, we still have to use our weaknesses as armor. It feels like there are no storytelling directors in Hong Kong now.

Once you start watching this movie, it will be impossible to look elsewhere because you'll be completely immersed in its plot. The characters are highly likable and very well portrayed in the sense that you don't have any stereotypical role. The story will make you smile and cry and the incredible CGI effects will bring you to the next level. If you love Chinese fantasy this is a masterpiece: you won't be disappointed. Great job!

You can tell this movie was made by actual ninjas.
