Miracles Happen This is a fantastic story which will lead you into a magic world inhabited by strange creatures where everything is possible. Some creatures can take human form but they are not human, yet, you will feel deep compassion for them. The actors did an excellent job and I truly enjoyed the humor in the movie which lightens up the very serious atmosphere. A must watch for those who love this genre!
Kirpianuscus a fairy story,with seductive choreography of fights, with a delicate love story, using same theme of battle against evil and the vulnerability of illusion. few drops of humor, CGI as useful tool for create a great show, few admirable images and a script who seems serve the scenes of fight. because the story is almost a pretext. the coherence is just insignificant detail. the acting - a sketch. all is reduced at a silk scarf who mixed legend and martial arts , meeting of a poor honest man with a demon, the wise master 's sacrifice and the magic as key to maintain the order of world. and each does The Sorcerer and the White Snake a decent film for young public.
KineticSeoul Okay, so the main reason I decided to see this movie is because it has Jet Li in it and it's suppose to be a action fantasy. But it turns out to be more of a love story between a demon snake woman that can transform herself into human form falling for a male human herbalist. The thing is if it got the romance part at least right I might be more lenient on this movie. But it was so darn cheesy with nothing original to it. And there isn't much development of romance between the two lovers either. Old fashion romance is alright if there is some good development but there isn't any here. This is romance as corny as it can get. They just get together and conflict hits that spreads them apart and more CGI action. Because monks don't allow relationships between a human and a demon. The male lover is played by Raymond Lam and he sort of looks like a younger version of Jackie Chan with the voice and mannerism kinda. Jet Li is the sorcerer but he isn't even the main character in this movie. If your a audience member that wants to see some kung-fu action might be disappointed. Cause all Jet Li does is use hand motion to cast CGI spells while fighting demons. And the CGI in this isn't horrendous but it's far from being legit. And he catches only female demons into a rock tablet while killing off the male demons. So in another words he is kinda like a Pokemon master. You gotta catch them all. I just couldn't care much about the two main lover in this cause of the way it's developed. The sister of the female demon snake falls for Jet Li's sidekick after something happens to him and I had more sympathy for that guy. Overall this is a movie with a dull story with romance that is far from being original with CGI spell fighting that isn't all that entertaining to watch. I give this movie a 3.8 cause I had fun roasting this movie with my cousin.3.8/10
Martin Shiveral I'm a big Jet Li fan and I have to say that this is just very disappointing on all fronts. Giving this 4/10 is being generous.This is a very childish fantasy story with poor plot and dialogue and vulgar CGI effects. I'm not against fantasy in martial arts but this should probably have been a PG rating. At least this would have given some indication of the level we're aiming at here. A randomly picked episode of Monkey would contain a better execution of fantasy, martial arts, character development and (for my money) special effects... and that was made in the late 70's.The love story was probably the most successful part of this movie. You have been warned - Here be CGI Snakes!
