League of Gods

I can't believe the low score for this movie and the bad reviews complaining about the effects. Yes, there's a lot of CGI in this movie but no more than you see in the Avengers or Star Trek. And yes the storyline is a bit weird at times, but it's an Asian fantasy movie based on a centuries old fable so things are gonna be a little different. I thought some of the action scenes were amazing and there was some funny moments and some great acting. Grab some popcorn, turn your brain off for 100 minutes and sit back and enjoy the show without overanalysing things and you'll have a good time. Can't wait for the sequel...

The Good= Love the Lore and the How Crafted this Fantasy World seems to be. Also Loved the Visual. I just loved how everything just looks From the Use of Magic to the Costumes to even the World of this film itself. And I also Enjoyed the Opening Narration to Introduce us to the word. Which was really cool IN My Own Personal Opionion. And although I'm Not sure if this is considered a Positive but I'm going to anyways, to me I found the First Fight of the Film So Epic it kind of feels like a Climatic Caliber Fight from an Average Fantasy Film. I also just liked how easy it is to know what's going on. At The start of the Film to a certain extent, and hare's what I mean by that although they don't tell you they got to that point but what they do tell you is the Mission of the Band of Heros. And I also Like how clearly they explain Emperor's Backstory, through Flashbacks. And Finally I think that last thing that I Like about this film is that it's pretty much Clean and Cut in terms of what kind of Fantasy Film this is and what they are trying to achieve in the film. And Unless I'm Missing anything else that should do it for the Positives.

The Bad= What Really Bogs me down about this film is how much the First Two Traveling Companions Really Grinds on my Nerves Especially The Frist One. I wouldn't say they are Annoying but close, and because of them I always stop at the very spot every time that I watch it so Far. And speaking of I found the Animation the Both of them Really Bad, so much so they Feel and Look Obvious Out of Place, maybe that's their intention I don't know? Because Unlike with say Space Jam where The Live Action Actors Both look and feel like they are Actually interacting with the Cartoon Characters be it in the Cartoon World or in our Real World, that doesn't seem to be the case with this film. In This Film the Animation for the Two Traveling Companions just Feels and Looks Really Disjointed to me. As to the Regards of them Interacting with the Live Action Actor, Jet Li, I Think? In this Case? Anyways I think the I think the Reasons Might be is that the First is I just feel Both of the Traveling Companions just Both Looks and Feels way Too Small. Because to me they both Feel and Look about the Size of a Two-Inch Action Figures. And Unless I'm Seeing things, I think their Sizes Changes from Scene to Scene? And finally moving away from the Two Traveling Companions, The Dubbing Just Feels Really Funny and Not in A Good Way to me, as I feel that the Movants of their Mouths just simply don't Match the Dialog.

Final Thoughts= I Really Hope that the Next Time if there is a Next Time that I Decide to give this Film Another Chance I'm able to Ignore the Personalities, along with everything else about the Two Traveling Companions, because I think that is the only thing that is really hold this Film Back for me Personally.

A 2016 movie with the production values, special effects, script, costumes, backgrounds and dialogue of a 2005 video game.

It goes from amazing to ridiculous in about 30 minutes. It started with such a promise. Also, the story does not finish and its sequel is never made. At least they could have finished the story.

I'm surprised to read so many low ratings on this movie, this is my favorite movie to date in this genre, I love Martial Arts movies , especially fantasy ones and this has everything you could possibly want. The characters are creative, great costumes/make up, lots of fun CGI, cloud cities, immortal warlord bad guys, evil demons, out of this world kung fu, and action action action. Wuxia movies are a ton of fun, not to be taken too seriously, after all they're literally out of this world stories about demons and heros. If you liked The Serpent & the White Snake, or Monkey King, True Legend, The Four series, or the Tai Chi Hero / Zero, then you'll love this.
