You can tell this movie was made by actual ninjas.

Sadly, the show wasn't longer.

What I enjoyed most was the acting, and then novel effects. An example of a novel effect: a gloomy cave full of skulls, the camera scanning halts at a skull and its jaw bone drops off... meh, not that funny now, maybe, but there's many small effects like that - almost unnoticed, which, for me, added more interest / novelty.

Although equally enjoyable were story, sets, and CG. The story is obviously about overcoming evil... it's not that difficult to understand. The badies were bad and the goodies were good, but also imperfect, lol.

The actors, for me, were convincing in their passionate displays of sorrows joys and jealousies, ouch! By the side: a guy in the hero group - I don't even recall if he even had a line - had heavy brows and staring eyes, just wild, so novel. The rest of the hero group were mainly weird looking, out-of-this-world people. That added more novelty - quirkiness, which I enjoy.

Excellent sci-fi fantasy - and I suspect, lots of Chinese mythology thrown in. Don't miss it!

Enjoyed this immensely wasn't too serious and good martial arts and comedy

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.

I came in thinking this movie would have a serious theme to it. It surprised me how amusing (not in a bad way) and funny a lot of the moments were. The moments where the movie tries to make you laugh, it succeeded. I couldn't help but, literally, laugh out loud in the theatre. Others were definitely doing the same. I feel the comedy worked. For your comparison, I think in Thor: Ragnarok, it tried too hard. I think they were trying to make it like Deadpool (which succeeded in my eyes).

The special effects were definitely amusing in the beginning due to the character. This took me by surprise. But the special effects are not on par with Hollywood blockbusters that we're used to from the United States. I can't fault it too much though, because I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.

It entertained, and I will definitely be recommending it to others. I connected with the characters, and the psychology of the relationships between the characters. Anyhow, that's enough from me. I recommend you go see it. :)
