Aside from the stars and Chinese Kung Fu, I really can't think of anything good about this movie. The story is a very clichéd "Dragon Quest" model from the West, but the "Dragon" warriors no longer use Western swords or magic, but Chinese kung fu. Looking at the whole story, it feels familiar, very similar to Western fairy tales such as "The Wizard of Oz" or "The Chronicles of Narnia".
As for the lines in the movie, I always feel that Jackie Chan and Jet Li want to popularize Chinese culture or Chinese philosophical thoughts to foreigners watching the movie through the dialogue in the movie, but there are too many things to say, what they want to express It's too deep, so some places really make people feel a little far-fetched, some don't know what to say, some are blunt, even me, a Chinese, sometimes hears it in a fog, I'm afraid those foreigners are just watching the fun. !
Jackie Chan and Jet Li, there is nothing to say about martial arts, plus Yuan Ba Ye's martial arts, nothing to say, really nothing to say, there shouldn't be many highlights in the whole film... No! It should be the essence of the film. It feels like the name of the movie is for them at all, and has nothing to do with the plot of the story. As for literary drama, there is still no breakthrough, it's just an old routine.
Liu Yifei, this little girl is so beautiful that I am speechless, amazing, just amazing. In this film, her vase task has been done very well. I can see her. As for her acting skills and lines, it doesn't matter. I can't pay attention to it. It's so beautiful. A peerless beauty, a country and a city. It is said that this is her first film in Hollywood. I wish Liu Damei a smooth development in Hollywood and a bright future.
I have three more points to say about the movie. First, I don't understand why the soldiers and generals who play villains in the movie have so much paint on their faces, and the eyebrows are too thick. The effect is a bit funny and awkward. It's ugliness, this level is too amateur, right? Second, the robber at the beginning of the film clearly had a gun in his hand before the protagonist traveled through time and space, but when the protagonist returned from time and space, the gun in the robber’s hand disappeared. I don’t know if this should be considered a gang shot. Well, the director simply doesn't believe that bare-handed Chinese kung fu can deal with high-tech automatic weapons. Maybe he just didn't think about it.
The last thing is, where is the "first kiss" of Liu Yifei's screen that I'm looking forward to, was it missed by me, or was it simply cut by the director, if that's the case, I really have to question the director's level, it's too much for me Disappointed, this is one of my big expectations for this film!
