It's a sometimes charming film from the veteran action filmmaker, but remains a curiosity, lacking comic sharpness and romantic intensity.April 10, 2013
The Sorcerer and the White Snake is unfortunately just another average Jet Li film to throw into the pile. Its bloated and overloaded use of mediocre special effects practically shackles the film to its humdrum atmosphere.October 12, 2012
Fantastic visuals and non-stop action make for a spectacular, romantic Chinese CGI feast.February 05, 2013
An amusing Chinese martial arts reminder that not all cheese comes from Switzerland, or Wisconsin.February 08, 2013
We've seen this movie before, in better clothes and with a much higher IQ.February 10, 2013
This hyperactive assault on the senses from Hong Kong is noteworthy only for its dazzling array of computer-generated special effects.February 06, 2013
The clunky action mostly revolves around uninspired wire-fu choreography: Monks fly around while flailing their arms as hordes of CGI creatures gather around and then do nothing.February 06, 2013
The film looks so glossy, plasticized, and unreal that all you end up thinking about is special effects.February 04, 2013
A silly, derivative supernatural-action extravaganza that would have been better at a fraction of its f/x budget.August 12, 2014
Beautiful martial arts fantasy with scary imagery, violence.February 07, 2013
These showdowns feature spectacular, Lord of the Rings-style CGI settings, but not much in the way of thrills or terror.February 10, 2013
A masterpiece of imagination. Offers wall-to-wall goofy fun for fans of martial arts flicks, fantasies, or just good old-fashioned cinematic nuttiness.
