| PolygonTasha RobinsonFor all the eye-popping battles and fast-moving action, it’s an emotional story that takes the time to explore what its protagonist really wants out of life, and why god-tier power may be as much of a burden as a benefit. |
| User ReviewKordauI would've rated this higher, but the English script just sounded too odd at times. I can't help thinking some of the story was lost in translation.. For example, the dialogue from when Li speaks directly to Nezha made me think, "WTF? Is that really what he said?" The animation was pretty good and the action/fight scenes were also quite good. So it's not bad, despite the oddities in the script. I imagine it would've been much better if I understood Mandarin. On Netflix, the normal English subtitles are VERY out of sync, and basically unusable. The English Closed Caption subtitles are in sync, though. |
