New Gods: Nezha Reborn

It's a recreate work based on Chinese myth story, but if you don't know the myth, you can also enjoy it A LOT ! Its scenes include old Shanghai city just to tell you the background, most scenes are recreated and quite fit for the story. The characters, all different characters, are so good. The details of those moto, costumes and so on are exquisite, so as the scenes. The best part is the rhythm of storytelling, every 'paragraph' with very exciting fighting or likewise, and it keeps this high rhythm throughout the whole movie. Another highlight is CG which has been represented by all the scenes, characters and so on. I think it's as good as maybe The Dark Knight(Dir Christopher Nolan), but they are different genre. Why I mention TDK is that this movie is also of a Universe - New Gods. Nezha is one of those Gods, and the sequel on the way Yangjian is another one. There are several clues in this movie to connect to the future Gods to come. You can imagine it as Iron Man or Captain America, and the whole New Gods as the Avengers. So it has a huge Universe. You can expect (and count on them). Enjoy it! for every time, as I've seen it three times and have no plan to stop yet.

It is hard to understand some east mythology elements but very enjoyable the movie. My criticisms are too many slow motions and some holes in the story.

Truly colourful, creative and beautiful animation-wise!

The animation was colorful yet almost photo-real, and while most of the animation was seamless, there were a few scenes where they seemed to cut corners.

It was entertaining but a little slow to find its pace.

I also found the editing choices a little strange at time.

However, the good visual quality helps.
