With THE THOUSAND FACES OF DUNJIA, legendary director Yuen Wo Ping and writer/producer Tsui Hark breathe new life into the wuxia genre, weaving together fantasy, humor, and breathtaking martial arts action. Dao, a naïve young constable, discovers a secret society with supernatural abilities that has protected mankind for centuries. As he's drawn into a power struggle within their ranks, they learn that an ancient creature with the power to destroy the world is rising - and it will take all of their powers combined to stop it.

So eager to entertain that it forgets to establish a clear narrative, internal logic, or characters the audience can care about.

It is heartening to see director Yuen, who is known for his action movies, attempt something new, but it will be a while before he masters the art of making a CGI-heavy film.
December 15, 2017
A lot of things transpire in any given scene, but none of them will make you care what happens next.
December 14, 2017
The story is motley and not very involving, and the anything-goes CGI undermines the battle sequences.
December 18, 2017
As with so many of Tsui's works, subplots and characters multiply out of control after the first act.

For all the shape-shifting antics and giant fantasy creatures that it throws at the audience, Dunjia is only ever as fun as its characters get.
December 14, 2017
Over the course of almost two hours, all the amped-up visual effects and slapstick silliness can become awfully exhausting, making a hinted-at sequel ultimately feel like a threat.
December 14, 2017
If you like [Tsui Hark's] style of dense plotting, mysterioso set-pieces and weird sex, Dunjia is a blast-but with a lot of holes in it.

Viewers with a high tolerance for computer-generated fantasy are the target this time, and may well enjoy the ride.
