Double World

Growing up with a chinese friend, I watched a decent amount of chinese movies, so this movie took me back to my youth. There's something very appealing in this movie: beautiful costumes, a light comedic undertone, good fighting choreography and some well placed, almost horrorstyle, violence. It's pretty rough to be honest. The story is fairly simple, the script makes some sudden jumps, but this isn't what makes or breaks the movie. It's a fantasy tale of a becoming hero and his friends who are met along the heroes journey. Very entertaining to watch and I rated this just a 7, because of the poorly written script. But maybe chinese doesn't translate itself well to english subs.

Story: Basically same as many other fantasy movies, nothing new... Character development: is present for some of the characters, but some people that they portray to be important never really get resolved and just disappear..its confusing CGI et etc: its good for chinese production

Overall: it started well and was interesting about halfway in until the story started to get confusing when things happening without proper explanation..its ok entertainment but definately not 10/10 like many reviews here say, they must have very low standards

NOT FOR EVERYONE

If you are looking for fictional fantasy and adventurous movie going experience, , I encourage you to give Double Word a chance

I'm not used to chinese movies. I saw this and thought should give it a try. At first the plot seems basic, unaware of the rpg background of the movie. Even though it has a few plot wholes or inconsistencies, it is full of surprises. The CGI and the fighting scenes do make up for it. Recommended

It's not a perfect film at all and there are lots of moments that'll have you scratching your head and sometimes the acting can be a bit weird. That being said, it's very entertaining.

There are plenty of well choreographed, cool looking fights, a few plot twists that you might not see coming and the villain's plot isn't completely ridiculous. He's been planning this all for years and he almost gets away with it too.

All in all a good film to watch on a Saturday night for fans of kung Fu and fantasy.
