Watchable

First of all, I only wanted to watch this movie because of Wa Er and Liu Chang. And their acting didn't disappoint me (though Wa Er had not as much screen time as I had expected). However, the fl wasn't quite as good and there are these typical overacted characters which are either funny or just easily annoy you.
The story is definitely quite weird. However, imo it's this weirdness and partly absurdity which makes this movie an interesting watch. But you have to enjoy ancient China, Chinese Republican era and sci-fi all at the same time. Also there are some plot lines that seem dumb or not well thought out but the last big plot twist/revelation is fun - so please really watch till the end if you decide to watch this at all!
Unfortunately I can't really score the music as it was cut out in many scenes in the YouTube version I watched due to copyright issues. As for the rest of the soundtrack I can't really remember which means it was neither good nor bad.

Overall, it was an enjoyable movie. Nothing extraordinary good but nothing too bad either. You should watch it if you like Liu Chang or Wa Er and if you have 69 minutes spare time.

The plot is very complex as you have many side stories which are all important and connected. But for me it wasn't too hard to follow, it was just that in some storylines I was more interested than in other... Imo you can also watch this series when you haven't seen any of the other Lost Tomb series (like me). The plot is overall thrilling but some things just shouldn't be questioned. And there are also some cliffhangers, so don't expect a clear fine ending...
The series has everything, really! Mystery, Friendship, Bromance, Comedy, Action, Adventure, Slight Romance, ...

I began to watch this just for Wang Haoxuan (with whom I liked every few scenes he were in ^^) but I ended loving so many of the cast. And also other characters were so cool, I really loved their side stories :D (though most of them don't get enough screen time o.o) The main character though, Li Cu, was just pretty annoying and stupid. Especially in the end parts his scenes were so boring and dumb, unfortunately most of it is important for the plot.
Sooo, the series was very impressive and maybe you should rewatch it to get some points you maybe missed in the beginning, but for me the rewatch value isn't that high because it's such a huge amount of episodes.
