| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This was an entertaining movie with amazing CGI, but lack of knowledge about the world from the original source material bogs it down as well as a pretty generic script. The beginning showed some promise and the opening scenes with Li Yunxiang and Kasha were pretty entertaining. That jazz scene with Kasha was the best part of the movie hands down. They seemed to be setting up Kasha to be an important character but near the middle she pretty much disappeared and even stopped being an emotional plot point for the main character Li Yunxiang. This also applies to the other side characters. Most of them are set up to be bigger deal than they actually end up being. The main problem though was the third act. It pretty much thought that good looking fights trump writing, but it really doesn't. It was all a cluster of battles with little care about what might make sense to the viewer. Maybe if you are distinctly familiar with source material then some of it might make sense, but otherwise it just seemed messy. Many of the events that take place in the movie are predictable, as the script is rather generic and doesn't care much for originality. This movie also sets up sequels in the movie and with its multiple end credit scenes, which many have learned from DC is not always the best thing to do. That animation though! China delivers a really good looking CGI film nearly on par with Disney standards. It really looks good. And I liked many of the characters, despite the way some of them were wasted. This movie is a decent family movie and rather entertaining, but that is about it. The plot just got more bland as the movie went along. I really think it suffered from playing the script rather safe and adapting from a source that most international users are unfamiliar with, though it isn't the movie's fault that we are unfamiliar with it. Perhaps the Chinese audience would enjoy it a lot more. |

| Get stoned and watch this, it was hilarious |

| This one was weird from a character point of view. They set up kasha as an important character, yet once she's hurt and looses a leg she's no longer important to the guy. The rest of the movie I'm like, what about that cute kasha? Why are you ignoring her? But the guy never cares about or even visits her in the hospital bed. Sure he makes her a leg, but that was in tune with him building a motorcycle for Sun Wukong, so it was basically the same emotional value as repairing a damaged motorcycle. Then they squeeze the so far rather plastic romantic interest into a damsel in distress situation, where imo, kasha would make ten times more emotional impact. I dunno what the director or screen writer was thinking :/ Feels rather amateurish. Perhaps they cut away a bunch of scenes because it was getting too long and they deemed the romance not that important. |

Though I assume that the romantic interest was added since that is generally a mass appeal type of thing that marks off the boxes in the check list of safe family movie tropes. Like, the sister even has her own dance number, and is then shortly afterwards forgotten. It makes no sense. It would't surprise me at all if they cut away some scenes of hers. It was like the first and second halves of the movie were written by two completely different people. |

| this movie was fucking dope, i thoroughly enjoyed it, more than ne zha (2019)! the animation and the action was very well done! though i guess the story and characters could have been developed better because i feel like i only understood some parts due to watching the 2019 version which shouldn't be the case, but i really loved the setting and the futuristic take on it all, definitely a great movie! |
If you don't like me, acquire some taste |
| The animation and art style were pretty awesome (though still it's not at the level of jiang ziya or nezha 2019). The fights and action sequence were pretty good too. The story had potential. But the execution was really poor. In the end it fail to deliver. Writing was kind sinking. Lot of things felt very forced, misleading and impact less including romance, tragedy, character development etc. At least they had the monkey king and nezha crossover. I did like the reverse thing what the did with monkey king. Overall decent watch, but that's because its carried by the art and animation most times. It's is made by the creators of white snake. (I personally think white snake showed way better writing skills than this movie, I don't know what went wrong with this one) Both movies are apparently having a sequel too. I hope sequel do thing better |

It isn't even in the MAL anime relations, so I don't know how connected they are really supposed to be. You should be fine. |

| I actually enjoyed this film even though I wasn't familiar with Chinese mythology. The CGI animation looked great and the soundtrack was awesome. Based on the after credit scene it looks like there is going to be a sequel coming out sometime in 2022. I'm going to check out the 2019 version of Nezha. This guy did a review on Nezha Reborn. |

You all need to watch Nami. |
| pretty good and good animation, I feel like it has that pixar style, reminds me of big hero six almost. |
