None of the one liners hit, the script is not written well or meaningful in any way, and we have seen most of the action before. This is detail flavorless odorless visual junkfood that has nothing to say. I'm sure we can thank Chinese production restrictions for this.
The character motivations are razor thin and sometimes just inexplicable and annoying. The dialogue and ideas that are meant to be meaningful never are because they arent written well or thoughtful; they're all generic and you wont care at all for any of the endless cast of characters and their troubles. There are several action lines meant to be witty, but none of them resonate and you wont laugh even once.
What are we supposed to be celebrating here? What is the point of watching this film? It's just an empty cold wasteland or pointless action that tries desperately to be The Highlander without understanding anything about the heart and soul of those characters and how to emotionally resonate with an audience or build any kind of unifying themes.
Also, Charlize Theron is wafer thin and you will not for an instant buy the action she is selling, despite her boyish haircut and androgynous name and sense of style in this film. Alive for centuries, and never once learned to lift a weight.
Please dont make a sequel. Use the money and talents for something better.
