By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The bad: Terrible dialogue Bad CGI and fight scenes Terrible "story" filled with plot holes and plain silly actions performed by the characters Very boring characters, you are just glad when they die. Very "fantasy" (non historical) and not in a good way. The artistic choises for armour, weapons and such makes no sense and fits a video game or anime better than an "epic movie" which is abviously what they are trying to make.The good Some very nice sceneries, especially with lots of soldier formations and the wall itself.For one, why would anyone give up the actual wall (you know, a awesome defensive structure) to DIVE into the horde of monsters on a bungee-jump and try to spear them from an arm-length? While it sometimes was comically bad, I dont think this was intended. A low point for Matt Deamons carreer for sure.

Ascinating! Unlike anything I've seen before, and thoroughly entertaining at that. Spectacular visuals. Obviously heavy on CGI, but boy, is it entertaining and a visual feast! One thing, though, the film would have been better without Willem Dafoe's character, who is passive and only there when he is really needed, otherwise does not really serve a purpose. The lack of consideration for the killing off of Matt Damon's friends in the film is also a bit worrying, as if they're soul-less creatures.If you're not into monsters, though, you might want to give this one a skip.

The story at first seemed cheesy, but with the convincing characters and a decent plot. It was actually an enjoyable movie to watch!!

The Great Wall: Matt Damon ventures to China in search of the secrets of gunpowder, but meets a monster and ends up defending the Great Wall against hordes of beasties looking like hyena-raptor hybrids. An Alternate-History where every 60 years the creatures would attack and attempt to breach the Wall.Well imagined monsters, there's a homage to Aliens in one scene, great costume and weapon design, steam punk without the steam, hot-air assault balloons which are really giant Chinese Lanterns. Seems to be Fantasy but pay close attention and you will spot a possible SF explanation for the monsters. 8/10.
