A great show for kids...of all ages!
Many of the online reviews kick this movie for the CGI not being "up to par" for 2015...
Most people watching a show like this are not critiqing the CGI, but simply want to see CGI that works for this particular movie. I liked the CGI here because it seeemd to 'work' for this movie!
Another critic critcized the movie for putting a handsome man playing the part of Zhong Kui...
Do you really want to scare off all the women watching the movie?
I often crticize movies for not being historically accurate, but this is a fable/myth/fairy tale/whatever, not history.
If you read the works of the (late) great mythologist Joseph Campbell, myths change with time and need of the audience, and more likely change over thousands of years of time.
Even if you know the original myth, does it hurt Zhong Kui beng less ugly than a couple of thousand s of years ago?
I found the movie refreshing, entertaining, and only a couple of places did it really show any gore (blood), so most audiences should be entertained by this movie without too much complaint.
Forget if the CGI may not be up to Hollywood standards, this CGI made you believe that the actions were actually taking place!
The main and support cast all seemed to work well together to bring about a good movie and only in one scene did I not think that the main leads may not be sincere, but that was just before the action hit its apogee and I forgot about it.
The cinematography was good, and I liked the angle changes on some scenes.
All in all, I think it is a movie that kids of all ages can watch and re-watch again, and enjoy themselves doing it!
Let the critics watch some ugly guy in another movie....
RE-WATCH VALUE: Yes!
