Like said in review title it doesn't come anywhere close to the quality of the production or the story of Myth. But if you can sit through the middle portion, you can enjoy the start and the end.
Viewers should note though that this movie is primarily targeted towards the Chinese audience. And likely as another project to promote protection of cultural heritage among the youth through attractive media.
Story was the weakest link.
Main problem with the story was that their was no proper connection between the modern world story and historical story. Which meant there would not be any consequences from actions in modern story or historical story that had an impact on the other.
You would notice the opposite in the myth, where we are invested in both narratives of the story.
It was bad given what they could have done with the material available based on the historical scenario used for the basis of the historical part of the story.
The music was OK. Nothing memorable beside the myth OST.
Easter eggs from the myth and Kung Fu Yoga were great. But wish they ended this with a proper conclusion to the myth storyline. Maybe something like those 2 characters walking away togather or something like that.
Finally, felt like there wasn't enough effort put into convincing the audience that the general from past is Jackie from current time. That also had a detrimental effect on the story.
To conclude if you enjoyed the myth and Kung Fu Yoga, you can watch this movie and be happy with it. Not joyful or sentimental, but happy and nostalgic.
