Blu-ray Review: ‘The Sorcerer and the White Snake’ Succumbs to Silliness

16 April 2013 7:55 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – “The Sorcerer and the White Snake” is a title that suggests the sort of tall tale that would entrance a crowd of scouts around a camp fire. It’s chockfull of fantastical creatures and action-packed setpieces, but its shoddy special effects cause it to fall short of pure enchantment. As for the story itself, it’s pure silliness.

Jet Li receives top-billing solely because he happens to be Jet Li, but he could hardly be considered the main character. This is primarily a star-crossed romance between a good-hearted physician, Xu Xian (Raymond Lam), who unwittingly falls in love with a demonic snake that takes the form of a seductive woman (Eva Huang). Their love appears to be genuine, especially after the snake saves his life, but master monk Abott Fahai (played by a bored Li) won’t allow such an outlandish union to take place, inspiring gloriously silly dialogue like, »

‘The Sorcerer and the White Snake’ – a disappointing effort

7 February 2013 10:45 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

The Sorcerer and the White Snake

Directed by Ching Siu-tung

Written by Charcoal Tan, Tsang Kan-Cheung, Szeto Cheuk-Hon

Hong Kong/China, 2011

Adapted, one assumes loosely, from an ancient Chinese legend, The Sorcerer and the White Snake reveals the tale of how two worlds, the world of humans and the world of demons, collid together for love despite tradition dictating for years that they should not. Two snake demons, the white snake Susu (Eva Huang) and the green snake QingQing (Charlene Choi), each fall for two different human men, propelling their respective universes into tremendous conflict, particularly when the great monk Fahai (Jet Li), constantly on the prowl for such monsters as the snake woman, learns of their infatuation. Is it true that love conquers all, or shall old divides keep everyone apart?

We live in a day and age in which hundreds of films employ the assistance of computer generated technology to enhance movies. »
