A Wonderful Discovery !
A long time ago I watched The Lost Tomb series , so when I saw Candle In the Tomb : the Weasel Grave , I thought it was a a remake or a bad version. Thankfully I stopped being ignorant and actually tried watching it.
My ratings and review might be biased because I watched it before seeing that it was part of a whole series, so I didn't watch the original Candle In The Tomb. But I liked what I saw.
The CGI is a bit lacking at times, but if you're only focused on the story it won't be a big problem. Hu Ba Yi is the leader of the group, Wang Kai Xuan is his bro and partner in crime, Yan Zi is your loud neighbor that you can't help loving, Ding Si Tian is the dream girl and Hua Mei is the warrior.
I really like the fact that during all their adventures, Hu Ba Yi is protecting everyone and all of them can still fend for themselves. There's three girls so you would think that they would be damsells in distress but that was rarely the case, you would think there would be a lot of romance but Hu Ba Yi actually shared his time with all of them quite fairly (personally I liked him with Ding Si Tian but nothing happened with anyone so...).
Overall the story is really great with a lot of action, a lot of comedy, with some fights, with monsters, with weasels , with a good bromance between Ba Yi and Kai Xuan and with tombs !
NB : If you're still not convinced, let me tell you that my favorite scene involves a closet, three girls and ripped pants.
