Sandra J @sandranj4 4d It was awesome. A tad cheesy at times but the plot & good actors made up for that. Really liked the story & effects. Thank you for not putting a bunch of sexual innuendo crap or porn in it. 👏👏 We’ve added this to our family’s favorites.

Ooof. The film gets a wildly strong start from the stunning visuals alone. While it's a masterpiece of color and imagination, the thin script will have you checking the time to see how far there is to go once the ennui sets in. And that's a shame. A massive effort like this deserved better. See more Michael M @cosmac Aug 24 Not sure why all the low marks! Is it because people expect more from this level of gifted actors? I thought it was an entertaining adventure flick with some great one liners! In line with other similar sketchy heros see the light and save the day type of movies! It was good entertainment from very talented leads. Thumbs Up! and I don't care what Matt Damon's daughter thinks! ;) See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Aug 22 The Great Wall is a surprisingly entertaining action film that keeps the story moving and gives you plenty to stay invested in. With Matt Damon and Pedro Pascal leading the cast, the movie has enough star power and energy to carry its larger-than-life concept. The action is easily one of the biggest strengths. The battles, creatures, and massive scale give the film a strong visual presence, while the war storyline keeps things moving instead of allowing the movie to become stagnant. I also liked how the story continued developing rather than simply throwing action sequences together without purpose. Matt Damon does a good job holding his character together and keeping the audience invested, while Pedro Pascal brings his own energy and personality to the film. Their performances help balance the larger spectacle and give the story some grounding. Is The Great Wall perfect? Absolutely not. There are moments where the story could have been stronger and certain elements. See more David H @rivrocks Aug 21 I liked it. I might have made some production changes. I feel like someone should have known the audience a little better. Still a decent action movie. See more Frans B @FransB Jul 7 Brilliant! Well written and captivating story. The sheer scale of the production is mind boggling, epic proportions indeed. Animal Logic and Base FX provided critical set extensions, building digital additions onto physical wall sets, extending cliff faces, and rendering chaotic aerial scenes featuring burning hot-air balloons. The Third Floor managed extensive previsualization to map out the camera movements and complex geometry required for battles between real actors and thousands of digital monsters. Easy to see why this movie grossed twice the value of the production budget globally, it was a HUGE success. Amazing cinematography, GCI and visual effects. Stellar cast all excels in character, with Matt Damon and Pedro Pascal adding swagger, flair and charisma. Lots of action of any imaginable kind, drama, suspense, rapid pace, wonder, amazement, fantasy, battles, emotion, intrigue and epic events. Riveting and very entertaining See more Read all reviews
