mojin the lost legend full movie with english subtitles

She looks verygorgeous, donning the popular Lara Croft visage and it's nice to havesuch character when raiding long lost tomb. Credit must go to Shu Qi as the love interest Shirley. There is a polished visual here, though it'snot the level of high tier animation and it needs the help of artisticdesign to create appealing set pieces, especially since it dabblesmostly on barren terrains. By incorporatingfew mythological embellishments and creepy characters, it even managesto be unexpectedly eerie beyond the original cheesy nature. After it sets the tone, it gets increasingly better. Furthermore, the drama factor simply shinestowards the end. It's admittedly a niche flavor andculture-oriented taste. Thiskind of loud banter is used frequently in Chinese comedy, or even inKorean or Japanese flicks, but the outlandish approach may not resonatetoo well for audience from the west. The pacing is unfortunately sluggish atfirst act, relying heavily on slapstick comedy for a bit too long. Story follows a reluctant adventurer Hu Bayi (Chen Kun) as he is drawnto a mystery from 20 years ago. Mojin might seem too flamboyant or slow at first,rightfully so since the blend of horror and action only shows itseffectiveness later on. Nice blockbuster made inchina.įighting a hopping ghostly entity in action comedy flair is an oldtrend in Chinese cinema, mostly dealing with silly version of vampire.As the visual technology advances this kind of premise resurfacesrecently, the closest comparison would be The Mummy with orientalatmosphere. I could watch the imagery fordays and it has a great story tied to it. It felt like the use of this word wasnot as bad in China as it is in America (especially in sub title form),but it made for a good unexpected laugh from a movie I would haveassumed was rated PG-13. But I have to admit, Mojin is not as charming and amusing as they thinkof themselves, but that might have more to do with the culturaldifferences One of my favorite parts was a scene were the characters just began todrop f-bombs like it was nothing. The special effects are boss, and the movie comes with a greatassortment of charters in a story that untangles in a way that keepsyou interested in what happens next. It'show the Chinese are doing epic these days, outdoing the Americanblockbuster, or at least giving it a valiant effort. It's a buddy movie with a little romance and fantastic imagery. the poster screams action and adventure like Indiana Jones.

It's one of those movies that I knew I'd be interested in, going to thetheaters.
