It does seem like it's doing better in China than initially thought, no? Still not setting the world on fire though.

 

I wonder if it will beat Warcraft in America.

[Mockingjay Raphael]

I'm really excited for this, and I never watched a Chinese movie before.

It has to otherwise it would be embarrassing for Matt Damon. He has 10 times more star power than all the actors and director of Warcraft combined.

This looks bad but matt Damon is in it. What is going on here? Damon is only ever in good movies right?

There are two kinds of movie stars in the world:Those who have made a mistake and starred in a turkey,and those who will.

With a Trade War with China probably inevitable, given the rhetoric on both sides,a lot of Hollywood execs are really nervous about the China Market.

Well, with all due respect...you'll have to work a little harder...as this is not really a "Chinese" movie fully.  It's a China/Hollywood co-production that has significant US talent behind the scenes in scripting, scoring, starring, etc.

There's ads on TV. 

 

Test drive a Great Wall Motors ute and get 2 free tickets to see The Great Wall.

The official Twitter account tweeted this out and then realized their mistake. I guess we finally know why they have hidden the beasts in the marketing - they look like incomplete VFX

Yikes. Please tell me that's unfinished CGI.

[NoobSaibot]

The movie's been finished since December, at least.

 

But wow....even though they have had a lot of stinkers on their hands, Legendary isn't known for pushing out utter crap like that. It looks like something from a Syfy original motion picture.

Comment from discussion "The Great Wall" just tweeted this CGI shot of a beast that looks bizzarely unifinished.

 

This guy said this, so maybe it is just marketing being dumb. Or maybe he's on the marketing team and is trying to fix their mistake .

How much fun would it be if the movie CGI looked like this though? Might actually be a source of actual enjoyment from the film and make it a cult classic.

To be honest I'm kind of digging the little jiggle of it's arm at the end of the clip. Reminds me of the ragdolls in Garry's Mod.

[MrHardapple]

Everything about this movie looks really bad.

Not even worth the time on a lazy sunday afternoon.

I would definitely pay to see it in IMAX Laser if that was the case.

[Avatree]

lmao if that was the version released in cinemas I will see it twice on opening weekend.

 

Can any of our Chinese members confirm what the CGI looks like?

[DAJK]

I saw the first bit of the movie leaked online, but shut it off as the effects were surprisingly solid, and the film had an air of "need to see this on the biggest screen possible, not your damn phone"
