He (Hui) does not achieve the surreal grandeur of Hayao Miyazaki’s animated films, but he has enough imagination and talent to engage his audience on its own level. Read full review

If you’re willing to overlook some monstrously big plot holes and logic gaps, this half-animated Chinese blockbuster is an agreeably bonkers, occasionally disturbing cinematic ride. Read full review

The plot is even more nonsensical than it sounds, but the monsters’ high-energy antics and the humans’ martial-arts skills make for a delightfully bizarre adventure romp. Read full review

The film is far from perfect, but it’s certainly ambitious, often entertaining and, compared to the feeble competition from new American films of the moment, a singing, dancing, stomping and chomping “Citizen Kane.” Read full review

Dos vários filmes medianos chineses que assisti, esse se destaca por ser muito bom e nem um pouco preguiçoso e/ou exagerado. Não é atoa se tornou o maior blockbuster da história do cinema chinês, o qual já começa mostra bastante relevância nos dias atuais.
