Jade Dynasty 1 (2019)

Jade Dynasty is a mediocre movie. It is kind of entertaining, but that's not because of the plot, but because of the great actors who delivered amazing performances and the pretty scenery which blessed my eyes.

The first half was very exciting, but the second was meh. And the ending was a bit unsatisfying. The characters, I must say, were very cool, especially the main lead Xiao Fan. Such an adorable dude, lol.

What I loved the most about Jade Dynasty is definitely the cinematography and the CGI was actually kind of good? Well, some fights were a bit too ridiculous, but overall, I was very impressed.

I mean, the only thing that I didn't like about this movie is the story and the way it was presented. But it has everything else - interesting characters and relationships between them, great performances, breath-taking cinematography.

I would recommend it if you are looking for a movie to pass time. But honestly, you can just pass it and watch something else instead.

What I liked about the " Jade Dynasty " (first movie hopefully), was the
first part of the movie. It was somehow the background of the main
character and how he became his final self in the ending. However,
the second part of the movie was rushed, almost confusing, and it had
an open ending (that is a bad thing if they don't have a second movie
coming up...).

That said, the performances were good and the costumes were nice.
They did a good job with the atmosphere of the story, as it looked
epic and fairy tale like. However, the CGIs were not good and kind of
ruined the action scenes.

So, overall, six out of ten.
