I cannot deny that the CGI effects of the movie and the cinematography are both done extensively and creatively that it turned out great. But the entire premise of the story as well as the development of the plot and each characters lack the distinctive approach and depth. It felt like all the focus were in the CGI and how each scene will look great on the screen that the transition, the story progression and the characters were all left to wander around. It is not something I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone and it is such a letdown as I can see so much potential.

Okay, was this a deep intellectual film that opened up new avenues of thought? No, absolutely not.

Was it simple heroes journey where the guy gets the girl in the end? Yes, it was.

Was it a good, funny, entertaining film that is perfect for a Sunday night? Yes, it was.

This movie is a simple story, with three stereotypical main leads. The roguish anti-hero with a heart of gold. The noble no-nonsense love interest with family problems, and the spoiled secret crown prince trying to gain his fathers approval.

The writers didn't break any new ground with their characters.

But even so, these characters were fun to watch, they had adorable antics that had me literally laughing out loud. I think a large part of why I enjoyed them so much was because they were such obvious stereotypes. So take them for what they are and have a good time with it.

One part of the movie that was simply stellar was the cinematography and the choreography. It was a very well done movie from a technical standpoint, the martial arts scenes were done superbly, the special effects were good. Visually it was a very beautiful movie.

It's a fun ride, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun story where they can switch off their brains for a couple of hours.

When I read about this movie, I thought it could be an entertaining movie so I thought, I'll give it a try. The movie wasn't horrible but it just wasn't great.

I felt the story was very generic. It was a typical adventure to save the world concept which always could be exciting but in this movie it just fell flat. The story was just so generic and even though a lot happened, it also seemed like nothing happened in the movie at the same time. I mean even the ending left me wanting more, which is never good. Story was just very lackluster.

I thought the acting was VERY cheesy...ESPECIALLY the main male lead. I actually found him to be quite annoying.

The music wasn't memorable at all...I actually don't remember the music at all and I am also not going to ever rewatch this.

The only saving grace of this movie was that the CGI and cinematography weren't half bad. It helped with the enjoyment of the movie but that is about it.
