Double World

Story: Basically same as many other fantasy movies, nothing new... Character development: is present for some of the characters, but some people that they portray to be important never really get resolved and just disappear..its confusing CGI et etc: its good for chinese production

Overall: it started well and was interesting about halfway in until the story started to get confusing when things happening without proper explanation..its ok entertainment but definately not 10/10 like many reviews here say, they must have very low standards

An oft trod tale of gallantry and heroism - this time given an Oriental scenario as "Dong YiLong" (Henry Lau) and his gang of compatriots compete against nine other warriors in the ultimate, deadly, contest of skill and strategy organised by a neighbouring warlord with an agenda of his own. Actually, as fantasy adventure films go, it is pretty complete: handsome hero, mythical beasties; sword fights; martial arts before a predictable ending. Don't expect anything at all sophisticated here: the effects are straight out of a video game and the dialogue is minimalist but the action scenes redeem it somewhat, and for 2 hours of mindless fun you could do a heck of a lot worse.

NOT FOR EVERYONE

If you are looking for fictional fantasy and adventurous movie going experience, , I encourage you to give Double Word a chance

This movie doesn't waste much time with overly complex story, dialogue or character building. It's an action movie with a fair share of Martial Arts and Wuxia and it means business. Don't expect a Zhang Yimou level cinematography, but switch off your brain and expect to be decently entertained.

It's not a perfect film at all and there are lots of moments that'll have you scratching your head and sometimes the acting can be a bit weird. That being said, it's very entertaining.

There are plenty of well choreographed, cool looking fights, a few plot twists that you might not see coming and the villain's plot isn't completely ridiculous. He's been planning this all for years and he almost gets away with it too.

All in all a good film to watch on a Saturday night for fans of kung Fu and fantasy.
