League of Gods (2016)

a show that is guaranteed not to stir pleasant dreams nor terrible nightmares

i am rating 5 as overall mainly for efforts, money pumped into paying all the teams involved in this film, and for lessons i observe analyzing this film.

highlights of the film, i) immortal fart; ii) the caption typo, "i sot it!"; and, iii) a few of the concepts/imaginations are creative and interesting.

this is a shallow, CGI heavy, action fantasy show. just grab a popcorn or your favorite snack, or binge watch this. don't mind me though, this films is still relatively enjoyable. i guarantee you won't have pleasant dreams or terrible nightmares after watching this show. it's good that they attempt to make this film, but unfortunately, i feel that this is an (overly) ambitious project lacking in preparation maturity and depth. it has over-the-top costumes and trinkets/wearables that are intricately designed, and often act as a distraction/annoyance. some of the makeups and costumes can at times be a distraction/annoyance, too. it has has too many characters, but lacking in character depth and development, and lacking strong story/plot.

it could have been broken up into 2 or 3 parts to enhance the quality of the show.

I am not a fan of action at all. I can probably count the number of actions movies I like on one hand. Though, with this movie, I think it's time I start using my other hand. Lol

I saw a preview for this and was instantly drawn in but I felt like everyone I ever saw/heard talk about this movie, they talk about how awful and terrible it was. I can't help but to ask, "WHERE?" lol I freaking loved this movie. Also not going to lie, I mostly wanted to watch this because of my unhealthy obsession with all things Nine Tailed. Don't judge me, we all have our obsessions. Haha. Though -- there weren't many scenes with the nine tailed, this movie really did make me more curious about other movies in this genre. I hope I can find more to live up to this movie, I doubt that will happen, but I have to at least try. Lol

I have to say baby Nezha was my favorite character. Not so much his adult form though. Not sure why I just found baby version adorable and so freaking sassy. I loved it. My second/third favorites were probably the 3rd son (I can't remember his name but if you watch this, you'll know who I mean. and the little grass dude) lol they were all sassy.

While I did love this, I found some of the characters kinda hard to relate to. I feel like if maybe I read the book or looked more into the myth's and stuff behind these characters it would make a lot more sense. That being said, oddly, I still loved this movie a lot. Which is rare especially with a genre I don't really like all that much.

I think League of gods might be a golden egg for me.
