Awesome n Romantic Movie I enjoyed watching is movie. It maybe cry at the ended but amazing to see :)
Jason Moore
So... that was... hmm... The first 60 minutes of this movie are actually decent, and some of the effects are really, really good. The story isn't bad either, if a bit contrived. But it goes off the rails in the last 30, when the characters become bizarrely irrational, the special effects start looking like MegaShark vs Giant Squid, and nothing makes sense. The end was very much like the director said to himself, "well the big battles are over, now I literally cannot wrap up these other characters and end this movie fast enough."
Kevin Galbraith
meh Came into this expecting more of an action packed story. It didn't really live up to that expectation.. This is more of a cheesy love story with some comedic elements thrown in. I am slightly baffled because there are super killer effects in this movie at some parts and then there are sections that make Spawn look like it had good graphics. Can't really say I would ever watch it again.
Torrance Hill
Freakin Awesome! Like someone else said very Romeo Juliet with a little bit of biblical touch. But the CGI I definitely enjoyed!! I thought it was amazing! Would definitely like to see more. And where in the hell is the english version my eyes were worn out!!!

This biopic from director Wilson Yip dramatizes Ip's life story.
