The Great Wall (Movie Rating:7.5/10)
Legend of a fantasy, set in the environs of the Great Wall of China. Matt Damon, the white man, saves the Chinese civilization... Sounds familiar.
The breathtakingly beautiful, Tian Jing, as the Army General, adorning the most beautiful battledress is very impressive from the first scene unto the end.
Matt Damon wins the screen with his iconic archery skills and never say die attitude. Other actors don't really have much screentime. The chemistry between Tian and Damon is very subtle and underplayed.
The battle scenes are the best part of the movie. The assiduous sequencing, ancient metallurgy, design innovation and ingenuity in the face of the enemy are breathtaking. Screenplay is deadly. The animation of the enemy creatures,their intellect in battle and manoeuvres are interesting as they unfold.
The airborne lanterns on mourning are a scene for posterity.
You walk out pleasant.
