This movie makes me want to read the novel itself! The actors and actresses were great and believable. It's just too much CGI though. There were a few shots that could improve (like the expressions from the leaders when they were fighting the evil lord). (Is that a spoiler?)
Watching the movie and the Behind the Scenes clips make me appreciate the director and casts are trying to convey to the audiences.
As for some people who are dissing Xiao Zhan...wipe your butt with poison ivy leaves. I try to find some moments that were weird for him, but can't find it. As for Meng Qi, she was great and believable.
I do got to say that the hairstyles for some characters were a bit offlandish. But hey, it's a fantasy movie.
Part two of Jade Dynasty is a must see. I really encourage the director would use the same casts for part two to make a seamless connection with part one.
Xiao Zhan...(probably not reading this)...you are the BOMB!!! Cute upper body image!!! (Wiping my drool!)
I look forward in watching your future acting and singing. (Don't forget to sing...your song in the movie is great!).
Keep fighting!!
