Nice blockbuster made inchina.įighting a hopping ghostly entity in action comedy flair is an oldtrend in Chinese cinema, mostly dealing with silly version of vampire.As the visual technology advances this kind of premise resurfacesrecently, the closest comparison would be The Mummy with orientalatmosphere. I could watch the imagery fordays and it has a great story tied to it. It felt like the use of this word wasnot as bad in China as it is in America (especially in sub title form),but it made for a good unexpected laugh from a movie I would haveassumed was rated PG-13. But I have to admit, Mojin is not as charming and amusing as they thinkof themselves, but that might have more to do with the culturaldifferences One of my favorite parts was a scene were the characters just began todrop f-bombs like it was nothing. The special effects are boss, and the movie comes with a greatassortment of charters in a story that untangles in a way that keepsyou interested in what happens next. It'show the Chinese are doing epic these days, outdoing the Americanblockbuster, or at least giving it a valiant effort. It's a buddy movie with a little romance and fantastic imagery. the poster screams action and adventure like Indiana Jones. It's one of those movies that I knew I'd be interested in, going to thetheaters.
