Nezha

The Nezha animated movie has several standout aspects, with its top-notch animation being the biggest plus. However, the pacing of the movie is somewhat slow. On the other hand, the climax is exceptionally well-done, with a thrilling transition from the pre-climax. The music is average and lacks impact. Nevertheless, there are a few memorable dialogues in the climax that leave a lasting impression.

PLOT :: The Primus extracts a Mixed Yuan Bead into a Spirit Seed and a Demon Pill. The Spirit Seed can be reincarnated as a human to help King Zhou establish a new dynasty, whereas the Demon Pill will create a devil threatening humanity. Ne Zha is the one who is destined to be the hero, but instead he becomes a devil incarnate, because the Spirit Seed and a Demon Pill are switched.

This was epic animation at it's best. A tale of overcoming prejudice, finding unusual friendship and deciding your own fate. My eyes have never watered up watching animation but this one did it.....yeah it's that's good. It's Feb of 2020 and this has been by far the best film I have downloaded and watched since the year has come in. Do I recommend? Hell to yes! A story that clearly defines the meaning of not to judge a book by it's cover. A story we all can relate to.

The Chinese cinema scene has had many gems, but historically these gems could only be found in relatively small budget independent productions. Diamonds in the rough, if you will. The Chinese blockbuster scene has long been... bleak, to say the least. But here we are, and it is in this context that I find the quality of this film to be kind of unbelievably good. The narrative structure, characters, writing, and animation are all astonishingly well done, and I was left particularly impressed by the very original interpretation of a classic folklore tale. The story of Ne Zha has been portrayed numerous times in the history of Chinese storytelling, yet this one did not obviously rehash them, which is a remarkable decision for a Chinese production. This film is a towering achievement for Chinese cinema.

It's so great to see this movie on show in NYC theaters! The story line one the best of its kind. I didn't like the look of Nezha at first glance, but I love it very much after seeing the movie. The story is very touching and completed. Love it and strongly recommended!

Gorgeous and expressive characters, lush animation, dynamic action sequences, hilarious humour (some may argue it's juvenile but I enjoy Asian humour) and many touching scenes... I'll confess that at one point I was brought to tears. The highlight of the film for me was the pinball sequence. This is probably one of the best films I've ever seen.

I've read reviews on here that criticize the English subtitles. On Netflix they seem fine.
