It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

In all fairness, it is a far better production than I've seen many times, a good plot, good actors, script, director, overall, a movie to entertain, maybe even to recommend.I must say, a lot of the lines were quite funny, they got me laughing, and not just one or twice. Visually, it is beautiful, peaceful and calming effects, that got you focused only on them when they were on, good use of CGI, plenty of Asian culture references, a little of the American view towards it too. I had fun watching it, the end is as always over stretched but lucky for me, I got used to it by now.I graded it 6 stars out of 10, it succeeded on many levels, but there was room for better.Cheers!

This is the Chinese version of Indiana Jones and Chen Kun has played a satisfactory part with the support of Shu Qi and Huang Bo.Based on a radio programme "Gui Cui Deng" the plot and characters hold enough interest from the audience though the special effects made the film more CGI based that plot-based. The best part in the the romance between Shu Qi and Chen Kun while the mock at the innocence of the Red Guard spirit and the use of revolutionary romance to sustain the first part of the story was commercially driven which has money rather that meaning and story depth in mind.The best part is really the finale where Angelababy's equninox flower emerge to put more meaining in the the first part where she fell to her depth due to her love for our hero.All in all, I would like to see the movie more character and plot driven than CGI and 3D. Good enough to sustanin a sequel but not enough to win commerical hit or any critic acclaim. But another plus for Chen Kun.

Advantages: It has basic elements for adventure type film should be: a handsome leading role (Kun Chen), a wild beauty (Shu Qi), humour (Bo Huang & Yu Xia's roles), mystery and unknown whithin the story. It also reveals me that the human beings need to forget some obsession, in order to move further. In other words, to forget some pains, it may be the only chance to renew ourselves. Liu Xiaoqing is doing her best in this film. She dares to took a wig at the end, I think it is a challenge whether for her role, or for her own. You got it,right?Disadvantages: Recently, I saw Angelababy in many films, really tired. The most important is that she is not the kind of beauty I like. Shu Qi's mandarin pronunciation is still really made me don't feel very well, especially when she was roaring.

It's one of those movies that I knew I'd be interested in, going to the theaters. the poster screams action and adventure like Indiana Jones.It's a buddy movie with a little romance and fantastic imagery. It's how the Chinese are doing epic these days, outdoing the American blockbuster, or at least giving it a valiant effort. The special effects are boss, and the movie comes with a great assortment of charters in a story that untangles in a way that keeps you interested in what happens next.But I have to admit, Mojin is not as charming and amusing as they think of themselves, but that might have more to do with the cultural differencesOne of my favorite parts was a scene were the characters just began to drop f-bombs like it was nothing. It felt like the use of this word was not as bad in China as it is in America (especially in sub title form), but it made for a good unexpected laugh from a movie I would have assumed was rated PG-13.Mojin is definitely visually amazing. I could watch the imagery for days and it has a great story tied to it. Nice blockbuster made in china.
