    Transfigurations and morphing love!

    This film is unique, one can tell that there was a lot of passion by the director, Yang Xiao (there was enough action plus CGI with it). I feel that there were some gaps maybe due to edits with the love narrative. Its a long film, running close to 2 hours and explores taboo themes, from sexual transgressions, trans identity to shadow governments, in the film there is the B.O.T that regulates transmorphing or "transfiguring" animal gods with ordinary humans.

    If you are open-minded with this film; it can serve you great entertainment. Xiao had a lot of requirements for actors, to look ordinary or stylized. The strongest part is the main protagonists getting away from villains on a film set, kind of a film within a film idea.

    Entertaining.

    Hanson and the Beast is a fantasy comedy film directed by Xiao Yang and stars Feng Shaofeng, Liu Yifei, Li Guanjie and Guo Jingfei.

    A Debt ridden animal breeder falls in love with a human fox, she pays his debt as a gratitude.

    Wasn't very keen to watch after seeing the average ratings of the film but the film was entertaining although there were few flaws in the film but that doesn't plays any spoilsport in the film viewing.

    The plot of the film is good and the screenplay is predictable but decent, there are lots of funny one liners and funny scenes which surely will entertain you and will keep your funny bones tickling.

    Acting is good and all the characters were impressive, Climax of the film was predictable but good. Graphics of the film was substandard. There were few gaps in the film is a minor flaw and can be avoided.

    Over a decently entertaining Chinese comedy film.

    Entertaining

    It looks like it was written and directed by 12 years old kids, but I believe it comes from Asian culture of movie making. The demonic world is interesting and its make me giggle a bit how the the main bureau characters are posy. But what really makes me love this movie are cute animal sounds. Also, if you like furry romance or unnatural jumping, you can add star from each.
