not horrible nor great

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Watching this makes me wonder who's the director, responsible for the sounds and misic, responsible for the camera shoot,. The movie effects thumbs up,! But the music, the camera shoots ohhh myy Great wall not really So great

One of the characters in the movie says that the Tao Tei attack every sixty years "to keep greed in check," and that is precisely the message of the movie. The world's poor, most of them anyway, are tired of being poor, being represented by the Tao Tei themselves, and if not checked are threatening all-out war against the richest two percent of the population that are not sharing, hiding in seclusion, hoarding and loving their wealth, protecting themselves with a "great wall" that they hope nobody can penetrate. As the movie demonstrates, that line of thought has its weaknesses. A very good way to put off a moral to those who are, in fact, multi-billionaires while their next door neighbors are starving and without much else. Should they heed the warning to prevent all out world-wide civil war, or--should they continue to buy yachts, mansions and small countries with no thought to anybody else?

Like others, I am amazed by the negative reaction to this film. It is not Citizen Kane, nor does it try to be. It is pure escapism, with lots of cool visual effects and excitement. It's entertaining. Isn't that why we go to the movies?

I love epic movies. I love Matt Damon. Simple mathematics. This movie is intensely entertaining. So what if the Great Wall was just a CGI. It would be like blasphemous to shoot a film in one of the world's greatest tourist attraction anyway. The edgy General Lin I also love. And oh, did I mention that Lu Han of EXO is also another reason to watch this movie? What's not to love. Watch this movie. It's sad that critics are expecting too much from a fantasy movie like this. Hello.
