Jade Dynasty

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.

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.

What I liked about the " Jade Dynasty " (first movie hopefully), was the first part of the movie. It was somehow the background of the main character and how he became his final self in the ending. However, the second part of the movie was rushed, almost confusing, and it had an open ending (that is a bad thing if they don't have a second movie coming up...).

That said, the performances were good and the costumes were nice. They did a good job with the atmosphere of the story, as it looked epic and fairy tale like. However, the CGIs were not good and kind of ruined the action scenes.

So, overall, six out of ten.

Just finish this evening and I think this movie is quite interesting .They should continue to make another part so the story might be more clear.And the male lead and actresses are also cute xD I like how they add CGI effect on clothes. well, Chinese movies CGI are can't compare to western. I think it not so bad for a Chinese movie.

Wonderful production design - really beautiful! Plus Xiao Zhan is incomparably compelling (catch him in "The Untamed too). This film is a super fun world to spend a couple of hours. If you appreciate Chinese fantasy drama, you'll enjoy this delightful little romp among the "gods"... (and the glorious water monster! And the trained monkey!)
