I love the Monkey King!! Please make films for him! charming! But the transition between the story and the picture is not natural... The awakening of the Nezha is also slightly stilted, and some of the characters take up too much time. Overall not as good White Snake but also good, looking forward to the sequel!

Nezha Reborn is a bold adaptation that places traditional fairy tales in the fields of modern times, including locomotives, racing cars, ruins, classes and media. In a post-industrial, cyberpunk environment, nezha's battle with the Dragon King family is filled with speed and beauty, and the hospital and dragon Palace are set in a dazzling, imaginative and magical way. The story has deep meaning. As gods, Nezha and Dragon King can be reincarnated and duel indefinitely, while human beings represented by Li Yunxiang only have one life, and if swallowed up by the towering waves, they are just innocent corpses and silent tombstones. Was it Li yunxiang's kindness that awakened Nezha's sense of justice and saved his life? Or did Nezha's magic power activate Li Yunxiang's fighting power and help the building to collapse? It's all worth thinking about. Of course, the dead monkey as a bystander was the cleverest!
The Equalizer
A visual feast, cyberpunk is beautifully set, with a few scenes that remind me of Ghost in the Shell. The plot is very smooth and the rhythm is very well controlled.
