As with any film that's the first in

As with any film that's the first in a trilogy, this spends just a little too long setting out who's who but once it does, this develops into an enjoyable fantasy adventure film that brings a wonderfully vibrant myriad of Chinese mythological and human characters to life. Ancient rivalries and battles between humanity, the deities and some marvellously created mystical beasts - especially the dragons - form the basis of the story set some three millennia ago. Personally, I tended to the side of the immortals - and there's even the slightest hint of a bromance for one of them - as the "Demon Fox", and the manipulative "King Zhou" use mankind's greed, avarice, loyalty and decency to ensure they retain their place at the top of the mountain. The visual effects are usually top drawer and the action scenes avoid the often lazily constructed, repetitive, style of combat scenes. Now the acting isn't the best - indeed there is plenty of woodenness for us to inspect here, and I also found it a bit over-scored, but the richness of the mythology could, a bit like "Lord of the Rings", perhaps, provide for more characterful adventures and personality development in the next film. For a part one, though, it's a long, but increasingly quite compelling watch if you like the genre and appreciate the wealth of stories before us. Get comfy though - we're in for a long ride!

This was quite fun! "The Investiture of the Gods, also known by its Chinese names Fengshen Yanyi and Fengshen Bang, is a 16th-century Chinese novel and one of the major vernacular Chinese works in the gods and demons genre written during the Ming dynasty." Yes please, give me more! This is the second time this year I'm being treated with the mother goddess Nuwa in media, and being mixed Chinese and only recently learning this part of Chinese mythology, I am happy for it! It's a long movie, so strap in. I don't complain about movie length unless it's a snore and this isn't. The CGI isn't perfect and it can "feel" off sometimes but it's fine. I ain't got much else to say. Enjoy!

Enjoyable and surprising Chinese fantasy!

GoT meets Shogun meets Indiana Jones meets LOTR meets Wheel of Time! Such a great show with interesting characters and plot, well-balanced with action and drama!I love Chinese culture, and there are so many references to hostoric China and customs that I really enjoyed.I am American but have always been interested in the concepts of Chinese culture from Taoism to the Tao De Ching. There is so much to learn.The cinematography was beautiful as are the actors and actresses. I was hoping for a dragon throughout but there are some satisfying mystical elements for those who seek that type of thing. ENJOY!
