La Bataille de la montagne du Tigre

I am not a fan of these oriental action films, it is hard to like an action film, when the script is not very interesting, it complicates a little more, totally discouraging ... Unfortunately, I didn't win ...

Very interesting action adventure with some impressive camera work. The action sequences are amazing and the film is totally unpredictable. The tiger scene was incredible! I loved the film, effects, story and music. Very well done.

Epic adaptation of a classic from Chinese literature, then from Peking Opera Troupe of Shanghai, based on the real-life story of the Battle of Tiger Mountain in 1946.

A rollicking, ridiculous action movie. Heroic, crazed and great fun. Not to be taken seriously in any way. The second ending is way more fun. Stay the distance. A Tiger's tail/tale.

Positive: Good CGI, enough to make it a barely believable background and action scenes, but not great. Loosely based (meaning embellished for entertainment purposes) on post WWII varying factions vying for power in China as Japanese occupiers were being driven out.

Neutral: Interesting tie in with contemporary descendant revisiting and re-imagining that period. Acting, dialogue, script, filming, all acceptable and pretty standard, straightforward, but nothing jumps out as being incredible. It almost felt as if it was a Communist Party sponsored politically correct promotional film. Rather than being a serious historical docudrama it seemed more like a lighthearted fantasy story.

Negative: If looking for historical accuracy, then other than someone infiltrating a gang to spy with some sort of positive outcome for his efforts, it came across as an imaginative fantasy which may be all that a viewer is interested in. Misleading cover art.
