Yin-Yang Master I

I feel like 6/10 may even be too generous. Still, it is visually pleasing.... but it was hard for me to look past the largely incoherent storyline. Such a shame because it had so much potential. To enjoy this movie you have to lower your expectations in advance.... and try not to think too much about the insane amount of plot holes.

This is a visually stunning fantasy. The acting is decent throughout and the action sequences are quite good. As most Asian fantasy movies, the storyline is somewhat convoluted making it difficult at times to understand the characters. It also has a soundtrack befitting an epic fantasy.

The language and cultural differences are still a huge barrier for people from English or other foreign language speaking countries to truly understand this movie. The fighting scenes and the special effects are simply not the focus of the movie. The theme of this film is love. For people who can truly resonate with this movie, it's really hard not to cry.

Audience from Asian countries definitely can better resonate with the love story between the Princess and Zhongxing (Qingming's master). Some people say the love in this movie is too philosophical or even cliche. One reason is they simply cannot appreciate Oriental style of love. Another reason is because the English script is too bad. Honestly, both the English dubbing and the scripts are bad. For English audience, I don't know if it will be better to listen to the Chinese audio and read the English script.

There are just so many things lost in the translation. The music is first class!!! I am a Chinese, so I can almost fully understand what this movie is talking about. The first time I watched it, I simply cannot stop crying mutiple times.

The movie needs an adventure theme for great, but not disappointed either, I subscribe Netflix for waiting for this movie airing. Good movie and suppose to have a sequel.

Great cg, complete story telling, all the actors and actresses perform their best in this movie. and of course the background music, the sound track is perfect. Even though I think the director should cut some scene out, but this doesn't affect me from liking this film. I don't see a reason why this movie is rated so low. Wondering if those people spamming here ever watched this film.
