League of Gods

Terrible, other than the graphics, and even those are pretty low compared to current Hollywood standards. Fantasy based on an actual historical figure, one that current China would like to demonize (not debating the political aspects, just pointing out facts). So the script kind of twists a Chinese fairy tale with a real figure. The "Medusa" effects of the Fox/Queen are done quite well, but it's not making up for the crappy acting which is way, way over the top, even for a Chinese, kung fu, fantasy film. I think the one thing that really stood out was the fact they couldn't show any of Chinese dance in the beginning of the movie. That wasn't some gross theatrical error by the director. China forbids it, so if you're making it for a Chinese release, no Chinese dance allowed. It's absolutely absurdity that China has outlawed one of the most magnificent Chinese arts, but hey, they have outlawed several. Just comes with the territory if you want to sell within China or even Hong Kong now. (shrug) Had to turn it off. it sucks. Don't waste your time. 2/10 and that's being too generous honestly.
