Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

One of the characters in the movie says that the Tao Tei attack every sixty years "to keep greed in check," and that is precisely the message of the movie. The world's poor, most of them anyway, are tired of being poor, being represented by the Tao Tei themselves, and if not checked are threatening all-out war against the richest two percent of the population that are not sharing, hiding in seclusion, hoarding and loving their wealth, protecting themselves with a "great wall" that they hope nobody can penetrate. As the movie demonstrates, that line of thought has its weaknesses.
A very good way to put off a moral to those who are, in fact, multi-billionaires while their next door neighbors are starving and without much else. Should they heed the warning to prevent all out world-wide civil war, or--should they continue to buy yachts, mansions and small countries with no thought to anybody else?

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.

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.

This movie had everything to be one of the best "war" movies... but it's fantasy side put everything down.
It's beautiful, really beautiful to see. The armies are fantastic. Jing Tian is great on her role. All the battles are really well done but the plot is quite weak and leaves you thinking why they did that.
The ending could have been better.. they tried to do something that wasn't the obvious and they failed for me.
But overall, it's a really nice movie to see.
