Mosura is female again (according to the subtitles). Hooray! Another movie clearly aimed at younger children. The writers failed to explain some things and connect the dots on others, but I don't expect a lot out of these popcorn movies. Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
I was looking forward to this female version of Sherlock and Watson, but it ended up as a swing and a miss for me. If I hadn't watched the BBC's Sherlock I might have rated it slightly higher. I didn't mind a more emotional and less arrogant Sherlock. I could handle the teddy bear Mycroft, instead of the guy who sees others as goldfish. Most of the cases didn't seem to require a super genius consulting detective. The bland as plain oatmeal villain was a big minus. What hurt this production the most for me was Wato/Watson. Instead of the stalwart friend and competent partner, she felt (to me) like an emotional wreck. Watson gave up being a doctor? Though not the intellectual equal of Sherlock I should have felt like Sherlock connected with her as a kindred spirit and I never felt that connection. Sherlock in any form is never a warm and fuzzy character and has trouble verbalizing feelings for Watson, but we know he is devoted to Watson. For me, there weren't the kind of scenes I needed to feel any real chemistry between MS and Wato leading to the kind of friendship I would expect from them in any version. Actually kinda bummed I didn't enjoy this as much as I had hoped to.
I would disagree with the lesbian tag. I think the wife ended up with the husband's heart and his mistress was attracted to his heart and the wife was affected by his memories as well. Not true lesbian love as the two were only attracted through the man they both shared. The wife couldn't live with his betrayal and the end of their love and his life, and his memories, so she killed herself. Maybe she didn't want to share him anymore as well.
I actually liked the stories, especially #1, #3, #4. The stories took us through the beginning of love, ending of love, rediscovering love, love for others and selfish love-not necessarily in that order. ;)
Cute movie if you keep in mind it's aimed at kids 8-12 during the 1990's. I reject the new upgraded Mothra as male. Mosura will always be female to me. Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Obvious pandering to it's young audience, especially in the first 30 minutes. At it's best when Mosura is battling the three headed flame breathing monster. My girl looks out for the environment and kicks out rowdy trespassers. Humans beware!
Watched it because it's based on Meteor, Butterfly, Sword. Decent sword fights although at times I could see them thinking too hard about the fight choreography.
This drama ended so abruptly it felt like they'd run out of film. It seemed the women suffered and paid for the men's sins.
Somehow the ML and FL were able to quickly forgive and put behind them that Ning Hao Tian had been responsible for both of their mothers' deaths, he'd tried to have the FL killed as a child, drove the FL's father to snap and kidnap another child and go on a revenge train, his actions caused another woman to be kicked out and divorced by her husband, he also kidnapped a child to get his way at one point, and to top it off kidnapped 12 women. But now he's sorry and we have to be filial. please.
Wen Shi Xuan kidnapped 6 women, screwed his family and country over and all the little farmers, tried to have his brother killed on several occasions, caused his wife to nearly die in childbirth. But he's sorry. again. please.
This drama could be as entertaining as it was irritating. The scenery, costumes, and settings were gorgeous though. And lots of butterflies which was the only reason I watched this. Well, and William Chan. Love Tiffany but she could not pull off playing an 18 year old.
For me this was as waste of time. Only watched it because I'm on a butterfly kick. Except for the final fight scene most of the fight scenes were shot in the dark and it was hard to see anything. The only redeeming quality it had for me was the bad guys had butterflies painted on their spiky spinny shields.
Not bad for a 1970's martial arts film and I like how it focused on the competency of the FL and her female friends. The ending downgraded the score for me.

The ending was abrupt, but there was a lot of funny stuff in this movie. I haven't laughed that hard in awhile. XD
