Ascinating! Unlike anything I've seen before, and thoroughly entertaining at that. Spectacular visuals. Obviously heavy on CGI, but boy, is it entertaining and a visual feast! One thing, though, the film would have been better without Willem Dafoe's character, who is passive and only there when he is really needed, otherwise does not really serve a purpose. The lack of consideration for the killing off of Matt Damon's friends in the film is also a bit worrying, as if they're soul-less creatures.If you're not into monsters, though, you might want to give this one a skip.

The Great Wall: Matt Damon ventures to China in search of the secrets of gunpowder, but meets a monster and ends up defending the Great Wall against hordes of beasties looking like hyena-raptor hybrids. An Alternate-History where every 60 years the creatures would attack and attempt to breach the Wall.Well imagined monsters, there's a homage to Aliens in one scene, great costume and weapon design, steam punk without the steam, hot-air assault balloons which are really giant Chinese Lanterns. Seems to be Fantasy but pay close attention and you will spot a possible SF explanation for the monsters. 8/10.

I love epic movies. I love Matt Damon.
Simple mathematics. This movie is intensely entertaining. So what if the Great Wall was just a CGI. It would be like blasphemous to shoot a film in one of the world's greatest tourist attraction anyway. The edgy General Lin I also love. And oh, did I mention that Lu Han of EXO is also another reason to watch this movie? What's not to love. Watch this movie. It's sad that critics are expecting too much from a fantasy movie like this. Hello.
