Spoilers starting paragraph three (not including this one)
If you are a fan of epic fighting scenes, then this movie is a must watch on your list. The VFX, the backgrounds, characters are all great, maybe even 10/10 for those. But I just dont quite get certain scenes in the movie.
The story of this movie is great, but hard to understand at some point. There's a lot of plot twists, and I mean a lot, I do mean A LOT. Into a point where you don't really get certain scenes, some scenes are probably just there for the emotional background, but if you are someone that doesn't know anything about the backgrounds of the characters, you might be confuse on who and what the hell are they and their connections with certain characters.
I actually felt kinda weird for the whole saving mother situation. I mean I get it for yangjian, but for chenxiang, it just feels weird because he isn't even raised by her, like why? The phoenix is probably where I get confused for the whole situation, one side says is bad so they have to conceal it and to save the place yadiyada, another side says release it to save someone, but doesn't mention whether if it's really bad. Maybe I missed something, so I might be wrong, but both sides seems wrong to me At last the phoenix are released, and nothing bad happens, which I guess the good side wins? I dunno, I'm still confused.
In conclusion, if you are here for the fighting, the cool scenes, and maybe some touching story then ya. But if you are really trying to understand the background of this story, then probably not.
