Danial Detox A true monk and Master never isolate true lovers or hearts !I am strongly disagree with a story and imagined character of the Master Jet li in the Movie.Even all the Budhas(Sidhartha Gautama, Bodhi Dharama etc.) were non-violent by nature and never broke anyone's heart.How can a Budhist Master could isolate lovers, break hearts and be violent on a lover(white snake) who is just fighting for her love ? I am strongly disappointed and dis-agree with a story !that's good there is not a sequel of it.Thanks.Danial Detox
Paige Bandera Overall, The Sorcerer and the White Snake was an enjoyable movie due its "forbidden love" theme. The romance between Susu, a snake demon, and Xu Xian, a mortal, was sweetly portrayed. Unfortunately, the movie follows the pattern of most forbidden love stories by ending in a way that is bittersweet at best. Love does not conquer all obstacles in this movie. Additionally, those who love fantasy and the supernatural will not be entirely disappointed. The movie has several types of supernatural beings; however, the portrayal of these beings may be disappointing to some. There is a lot of CGI that can be overwhelming. Less CGI and a little more imagination would have made the supernatural elements of the movie less cheesy. I do not typically watch movies for their action scenes so I have very little to say on that front. Perhaps the action lovers will watch this movie solely because Jet Li is in it. The movie does its best to cater to the romantics and those seeking a little more than just a love story. It is worth looking into, especially for those who enjoy romance.
KineticSeoul Okay, so the main reason I decided to see this movie is because it has Jet Li in it and it's suppose to be a action fantasy. But it turns out to be more of a love story between a demon snake woman that can transform herself into human form falling for a male human herbalist. The thing is if it got the romance part at least right I might be more lenient on this movie. But it was so darn cheesy with nothing original to it. And there isn't much development of romance between the two lovers either. Old fashion romance is alright if there is some good development but there isn't any here. This is romance as corny as it can get. They just get together and conflict hits that spreads them apart and more CGI action. Because monks don't allow relationships between a human and a demon. The male lover is played by Raymond Lam and he sort of looks like a younger version of Jackie Chan with the voice and mannerism kinda. Jet Li is the sorcerer but he isn't even the main character in this movie. If your a audience member that wants to see some kung-fu action might be disappointed. Cause all Jet Li does is use hand motion to cast CGI spells while fighting demons. And the CGI in this isn't horrendous but it's far from being legit. And he catches only female demons into a rock tablet while killing off the male demons. So in another words he is kinda like a Pokemon master. You gotta catch them all. I just couldn't care much about the two main lover in this cause of the way it's developed. The sister of the female demon snake falls for Jet Li's sidekick after something happens to him and I had more sympathy for that guy. Overall this is a movie with a dull story with romance that is far from being original with CGI spell fighting that isn't all that entertaining to watch. I give this movie a 3.8 cause I had fun roasting this movie with my cousin.3.8/10
Martin Shiveral I'm a big Jet Li fan and I have to say that this is just very disappointing on all fronts. Giving this 4/10 is being generous.This is a very childish fantasy story with poor plot and dialogue and vulgar CGI effects. I'm not against fantasy in martial arts but this should probably have been a PG rating. At least this would have given some indication of the level we're aiming at here. A randomly picked episode of Monkey would contain a better execution of fantasy, martial arts, character development and (for my money) special effects... and that was made in the late 70's.The love story was probably the most successful part of this movie. You have been warned - Here be CGI Snakes!
