If you are not a fan of the original work, don't watch it, there are too many pits

Obviously (actually guessed), this film is adapted from a magical work.
Therefore, the transition of the plot is omitted a bit, but this is also a common problem of this type of film, but if it is reflected before and after, it will not be incomprehensible.

This film perfectly realizes the test-taking composition skills of "creeped head, pork belly and leopard tail" taught by the junior high school Chinese teacher.

The opening of the film is explosive and compact, which is dizzying!
A vague memory kicks off the whole film, and then the camera instantly returns to the present tense.
A little girl with a ferocious face, a monster with surging flames, a coquettish witch, and then failed to subdue the demon, and the supporting actor died tragically.
The male protagonist is not as handsome as the supporting actor at all, okay?

The second stage begins to pour water.
The embarrassed and angry old man began to conquer the demons three times. First of all, he had to find his secret weapon: the seventh son.
There must be a reason for looking for the seventh son in the original work, but the movie is very expensive, and the plot can only be deleted, so it is omitted.
WTF, the male lead is not my thing, what a poor supporting actor, you died so miserably.
Then there is the business training for newcomers, but the seventh son is Liu Adou, the old man who conquers the devil is very big.
In the end, it was a woman who let the hero get enlightened.
I feel very weak for the characterization of the mental activity here, good water.

The third part is the final battle, which is nothing more than the victory of justice over evil, and negative points in martial arts instruction, but the special effects are still ok.

If you're a fan of the original, check it out.
If you really have nothing to do, you can check it out.
Otherwise, the pits that are omitted one by one will give you a headache.

Finally, I want to praise the cast of this film. The old man Conqueror is the Oscar winner. The Witch Malkin is the queen of Berlin, Venice and Cannes Grand Slam. In China, it is the configuration of Maggie Cheung + Tony Leung, applause.
