Viewers with a high tolerance for computer-generated fantasy are the target this time, and may well enjoy the ride.

As with so many of Tsui's works, subplots and characters multiply out of control after the first act.

A lot of things transpire in any given scene, but none of them will make you care what happens next.

3/5

For all the shape-shifting antics and giant fantasy creatures that it throws at the audience, Dunjia is only ever as fun as its characters get.

So eager to entertain that it forgets to establish a clear narrative, internal logic, or characters the audience can care about.

If you like [Tsui Hark's] style of dense plotting, mysterioso set-pieces and weird sex, Dunjia is a blast-but with a lot of holes in it.

Bad guys are sent to fight good guys sent to save Circle, a woman created to save the world. All of the Super Heros and Super Villains have extraordinary powers but different and better demonstrated than Marvel characters. The acting is simply okay, it's the over-the-top facial expressions telling the story, especially during the fight scenes of which some are laugh out loud funny, the good guys fighting with a giant three eyed fish for example: the SFX is excellent. I'll be keeping it on my Watch List for a second watch someday.

Not a bad viewing experience the CGI wasnt the best but the characters where imaginative. Some fun parts and some funny parts. Dont expect "crouching tiger" levels of intelect but if your after a lighthearted Chinese fantasy you could do worse than this.

THis movie meets expectations, ignore the ratings where it does not stand Up tO American CGI comparisons. For the storyline, caSt, crew, and budget, a solid four.
