Okay, so the main reason I decided to see this movie is because it has Jet Li in it and it's suppose to be a action fantasy. But it turns out to be more of a love story between a demon snake woman that can transform herself into human form falling for a male human herbalist. The thing is if it got the romance part at least right I might be more lenient on this movie. But it was so darn cheesy with nothing original to it. And there isn't much development of romance between the two lovers either. Old fashion romance is alright if there is some good development but there isn't any here. This is romance as corny as it can get. They just get together and conflict hits that spreads them apart and more CGI action. Because monks don't allow relationships between a human and a demon. The male lover is played by Raymond Lam and he sort of looks like a younger version of Jackie Chan with the voice and mannerism kinda. Jet Li is the sorcerer but he isn't even the main character in this movie. If your a audience member that wants to see some kung-fu action might be disappointed. Cause all Jet Li does is use hand motion to cast CGI spells while fighting demons. And the CGI in this isn't horrendous but it's far from being legit. And he catches only female demons into a rock tablet while killing off the male demons. So in another words he is kinda like a Pokemon master. You gotta catch them all. I just couldn't care much about the two main lover in this cause of the way it's developed. The sister of the female demon snake falls for Jet Li's sidekick after something happens to him and I had more sympathy for that guy. Overall this is a movie with a dull story with romance that is far from being original with CGI spell fighting that isn't all that entertaining to watch. I give this movie a 3.8 cause I had fun roasting this movie with my cousin.
