The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Jue Ji is having low rating because some people are arguing whether they won or not. Firstly, some might think like me that the film cut off in the middle. I also found annoying at first because I felt the movie wasn't finished yet and it's cut off in the middle until I read the book. The book itself was just like that. In the book version, it has three books. Even in the book version, it cut off in the middle. The first book doesn't have the finished point and it continues to the next one. And also it's the same with second and third books. The author Guo Jingming haven't released the fourth book yet, so, we still are cut off in the middle, stranded. Secondly, the movie is so different from the book. Guo Jingming wrote a little bit different screenplay for the film. Some scenes are entirely opposites from the ones in the book. The ability to write such two versions on the same story is quite amazing, but I'd say the book version is better. A better story which makes sense. But the movie version is also good too. But I think some didn't get the contents of this film because they haven't read the book. But for me, even I did it in reverse, I can still get what this film is all about. But I'd advise that to read the book before watching it. Finally, Jue Ji is a little bit different from the other fantasies, it has interesting stories inside. But the sad thing is that they aren't in the film. So, people are feeling this isn't a good film. But as for me, Jue Ji makes one of the best stories.

As a fan of Jue ji, I went to see it immediately after its releasing. The scene was just the same as what I had imagined-the appearance and personalities of the characters and the choice of actors. I give a score of 8 out of 10 partly because of the director's choice of the actors. But most importantly, the movie brought the people in the book and in my imagination onto the screen, making me feel that they had come into the real world or that I was in their world. However, I don't think Guo Jingming has given enough consideration to the feelings of those people who didn't read his book before. The relationships between characters were hard to figure out by watching the movie only. The emotions were hid so deeply in character's eyes and expressions that couldn't be sensed by audience at first. So I recommend you to read the book before going to the theater and pay more attention to the details while watching.

I kept checking IMDb for reviews for this but lo and behold, none. So that makes mine the first review. Which also makes me the first sucker to review this on IMDb, despite advance negative press for this film. Firstly I'd like to let you know that I didn't spend good money on this film but my god what a turdcrap it was. Where to begin? As can be seen from the trailers, it's overpaid and underwhelming Chinese super-stars dressed up from head to toe in CGI. I wasn't sure whether I was watching the next Final Fantasy installment, or why i was watching Final Fantasy on the big screen in 3D.The 3D ( surprise surprise) added nothing to the lack of story, and because the effects were so cheaply done ( see my final fantasy metaphor), And the acting? What from these lame-o characterless, dull, Chinese stars who are too busy looking expressionless, and assuming Japanese manga-style poses? Let's just say that the CGI made it even worse ( if that's even possible ) I have absolutely no idea, how this film got made, but from one Chinese movie fan, to another, please, don't waste your time.

L.O.R.D. the movie is a pretty confusing situation. Whereas many stories in the action/fantasy category get tied down because of their lack of plot, L.O.R.D. has a great plot, but tells it poorly. There are actually a lot of things going for it, but in the end it's a bit of a muddled mess. For example, The acting was better than expected, especially with the amount of screen presence of Cheney Chen who I love to bits but has never been the strongest actor. The visuals are great (when the technology is working the way it should be). The general plot is interesting and creates a lot of room for character development and relationships. The biggest issue is the way the story is told. There are many characters, and if you've read the books they are easy to identify, but if you haven't the movie will leave you confused about who hates who and why. The animation, though more advanced than most films, is really hard to watch sometimes, especially in the fight scenes. The English subtitles, are manageable but by no means palatable. Despite all this I'm giving it at 7/10 because I did actually enjoy the movie as a reader of the books. I just feel bad for people who haven't.Guo Jin Ming has muddled his books with sub-par direction and screen writing. If you've seen the movie and you like the premise of the story, I'd strongly recommend reading the book which you can find in English online. To find them translated you will probably have to look on fansites.
