Something new in Star Wars? Meh.
And another meh from the opposite part of the world.
Visual perfection meets emotionless, bland and shallow story that's supposed to be a tragedy, yet you can't care less for anyone nor anything in it.
Okay, because of capital offense laws in China some things must not appear on screen or else. Regardless, this level of selfcensorship and cowardice I just didn't expect. There is absolutely no chemistry between duos and trios, even a guy who supposedly has a crush on empress fails to deliver. If any innuendo even slipped the filming, it was cut out in editing phase. Characters in the movie are nothing but robotic dolls from console exclusives.
I've never seen visuals so spectacular and so beautiful ever before in any other movie. But this dud is ment for audience that don't need substance. It's ment for stupid.
China obviously mastered visuals, all they need now is filmmakers brave enough to bend the rules, (ab)use the government funds then run and apply for asylum. Just not USA, they put kids in concentration camps there.
We won't wait much till that happens and China makes a genuine masterpiece so in case of
Legend of the Demon Cat, I say:
Skippit.
Oh, do please watch the trailer to taste what a wasted potential and missed opportunity means in this case.
