It's Love

[Drunk Monk]

Watched this again on Hoopla. It doesn’t hold up well. It was a nascent time for PRC cgi, and now it looks weak. The filmmakers were reaching for a vibe that doesn’t come together partly due to the awkward mix of cgi & live action wire work, and partly because the actors don’t quite deliver - I suspect they couldn’t act around the effect less production. I wasn't expecting so its entertainment value was slightly elevated because I could just relax into it. But I recant my D00M recommendation now. It’s just an odd Jet Li flick. 

Glad I rewatched it tho. It made me rethink my approach to this CNY piece that I’m finishing up this week. Now I know where I’m going with it.
