    Action / adventure-- and that's it

    If you're looking for action / adventure, this movie has it. Don't go in expecting much more. The plot is thin, the storyline consists of run run hide run some more stab run shoot a bow and never run out of arrows run run run hide run hide run more jump... well, that's the story.

    The ending is especially disappointing as it just hangs the audience in mid air and leaves them there, as if we're supposed to magically know what the director is thinking. Is this a cliff hanger to a third movie? Did they succeed or fail in their quest? The writers never clue the audience in on what's going on.

    The CGI in this was superb. The sets, the monsters, etc, are all up to snuff-- as one would expect in any 2018 movie worth its salt. However the characters are 2-D, the plot resolution non-existent, the movie ultimately disappointing. I'm being generous in giving it a mediocre 5 stars... and that's based on CGI alone (as well as some pleasant music in a few places).

    There's just no excuse for sloppy, lazy writing. If ya don't have a good script, don't make the movie.

    MOJIN'S 2ND GREAT CGI ADVENTURE

    Mojin: The Worm Valley is great for those viewing audiences whom loved Hollywood 's 80s Raiders of the Lost Ark to 1990s Jurassic Park/ Tomb Raider films. Yes, there is a lot of CGI effects, but it's to be expected with this genre and quality of entertainment.

    This film is a follow-up sequel to the successful 2015 Mojin: The Lost Legend. Yes, this follow-up doesn't top the first film, but it still delivers a great adventure. This film like the first one is based on Zhang Muye's best-selling book series, Ghost Blows Out the Light.

    Its director Fei Xing uses CGI action sequences with inventive creatures that reveled Ray Harryhausen's Jason and Agronauts films. The CGI works rather well, with a good musical score.

    The cast includes Xai Heng as Hu Bayi, Gu Xuan as Shirley Yang and Cheng Taishen as Professor Sun as they chased to Tomb of Emperor Xian. It was probably better to see this film in 3D and to view the first Mojin film prior to seeing this follow-up.

    Even the Chinese audience was mocking this

    Save yourself, your time and your money. This movie was so incredibly awful, I was compelled to write this review, and I never write reviews. There is 0 character development so when something goes badly for a character, no one cares. Scenes that are meant to draw any feelings of compassion and forced and way too drawn out, same with fight scenes. we're being chased oh no! let's run , then hide, then run, then hide, then let's attack one at a time and be thrown back one at at time, then run again.

    I was literally going to walk out, until I started watching this movie as a comedy at how bad it was, that alone let me sit through it. The actors do seem to make an effort, but the script and directing was so terrible, there was no saving it. Upon leaving the theatre, the other 7 people in the audience with me (all chinese) were all laughing at what a piece of garbage this movie was.

    Great CGI, but Candle in the Tomb: The Worm Valley tv series is way better

    I bought this movie after seeing Mojin: The Lost Legend; which I thought was great Being a fan of Chen Kun, so I thought I watch this movie to see if it is any good and worth the price that I payed for. So I watched it and I thought it was good. But then I watched Candle in the Tomb: The Worm Valley; which is a tv show with 16 episodes and that particular show is way better than this movie and there is difference between the tv show and the movie, So I won't spoil it.
