The Great Wall (I) (2016)
Jurassic Chan
25 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This is a mediocre popcorn movie with a Matt Damon seriously trying to keep a straight face while "acting".

Some extra terrestrial lizards are causing trouble in medieval China and Matty comes to the rescue!

The graphics are subpar even for a video game and the action scenes are lacking the usual fluidity and finesse that other Chinese epic films have as standard.

The customs are interesting and colourful. Maybe Matt Damon veto the use of these armors taking inspiration from one of his other movies where he was kissing Michael Douglas who played Liberace.

Overall is definitely not a grand epic as you might think initially, considering this is a movie from the director of Hero. It's just a popcorn movie like Jurassic World but with less impressive graphics.
