Wo Dang Mo Jin Xiao Wei De Na Xie Nian (2020)
Chinese style Tomb Raider..?
To give a positive evaluation, It reminded me of Angelina Jolie's Tomb Raider at first.
It was interesting because it contained a lot of Chinese elements, for example, what they were trying to find was eternal medicine.
I wasn't that boring throughout the running time, maybe because I didn't expected it too much before watching.
Another interesting thing is that various oriental monsters come out. It was impressive to watch the main characters overcome various obstacles.
I wanna recommend it to people who likes adventure films such as Indiana Jones series or Jungle Cruise. You can compare the different style of Hollywood and Chinese film.
Hex (2022)
Not Bad
The skydiving scenes were better than I expected, and the story was very simple. I don't like a complicated plot, so it was okay.
People who love watching horror films will underestimate this one, but I'm not a horror film lover, so it was fine. I could watch whole scenes without closing my eyes, but, the ending was creepy.
I think it's hard to be released in theaters, but comparing with other low-budget ott films like Netflix, Hulu, it's not so bad.
The pros of this film was obviously the skydiving scenes I mentioned above. Those were very realistic, and I felt like I'm doing skydiving. It was so cool! If you have an enough time, I recommend to watch it.
Jiu Bian Ling Hu (2021)
Interesting myth story
I think most western people haven't heard about the myth of Nine Braid Fox. So for me, it was an very interesting story.
Before I watch this film, I thought it's just a historical martial arts film, but my prediction was wrong. It's an sad love story. I could feel the various genre in this film such as romance, comedy, drama...
In addition, the main character, Lin Tuyii's emotional change was unforgettable point of this film. At the fist time, he was like a boy who knows nothing. But, after the affair, I felt he became a real grown man.
I hope to watch the next story. I'd like to know the Lin Tuyi's life after all affairs had ended.
The Macaque Monkey (2021)
Not too bad
It was different from other Monkey King films.
The most interesting point was that Monkey King's enemy is the other Monkey King.
The action scenes were also very impressive, because you can find a unique action style comparing with other Hollywood style action films, and I was surprised their technique like CG. It's not so weird.
I think people who loves Chinese martial arts films will love this film as well.
Also, for people who have never seen this kind of Chinese fantasy film before, it will be a new experience.
Of course, there's a cons, but it's not too bad if you like to spend your time watching Netflix.
