The Great Wall (I) (2016)
3/10
Cringeworthy and plainly bad execution
20 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The bad: Terrible dialogue Bad CGI and fight scenes Terrible "story" filled with plot holes and plain silly actions performed by the characters Very boring characters, you are just glad when they die. Very "fantasy" (non historical) and not in a good way. The artistic choises for armour, weapons and such makes no sense and fits a video game or anime better than an "epic movie" which is abviously what they are trying to make.

The good Some very nice sceneries, especially with lots of soldier formations and the wall itself.

For one, why would anyone give up the actual wall (you know, a awesome defensive structure) to DIVE into the horde of monsters on a bungee-jump and try to spear them from an arm-length? While it sometimes was comically bad, I dont think this was intended. A low point for Matt Deamons carreer for sure.
