| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinIt’s best not to attempt to fathom too much of what goes on in this colorful fantasy-adventure and simply take in its lushly shot and designed visuals, eye-popping effects, lively action and often lovely score. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeSadly, the ambitious film never approaches the gravitas that helped the Lord of the Rings films involve us in their mythology. |
| Washington PostMark JenkinsThis movie’s condensed telling is somewhat bewildering, although the essentials eventually become clear. But then they’re really just a pretext for such fairy-tale wonders as an underwater city, a living island and a hummingbird air force. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohThe unquestioned eye-candy feast of 2017. |
| User ReviewSandy YSet forth in the background of Chinese celestial gods, this movie portraits the eternal love between 2 supremely good-looking characters that lasted for 3 lifetimes. The lead actor, Yang Yang is not only preternaturally handsome, but also delivered such impressive performance that the audience is immediately convinced that he IS the godly prince that commands the universe's love and awe. The special effects and CG renderings are so real and breath-takingly beautiful. Definitely worth watching! 5 stars! |
| User ReviewAmelia%20 JFor the first time, I've been filled with indignation.You may not believe all that low scores, hateful comments toward two leading actors and hateful comments toward the movie itself, just for a movie. Yes,I have saw the movie and it's time to speak up for it. This reminds me of Running for Governor by Mark Twain. In short, the story is about a very good man with very good reputation that is running for the governor. It seems obvious that he will win. But,to his surprise,all kinds of accusations came suddenly. All medias have report his nonexistent crime .It's ridiculous and unbelievable,but people believe in such fallacious rumors and that this true good men was thought as a criminal,so he have to drop out of the campaign with all kinds of slander. The great Mark Twain had uncovered the strategy of how to destroy a good person, or in this case, a movie. To be honest,I used to think that the novel is just a novel.But now I think that the great writer have told us a ridiculous but true fact. What the movie Once Upon a Time have gone through these days was an sound evidence. Some people can be so villainous to slander and defaming the film just in order to prevent audiences from going to see it. Don't you ever wonder why there are so many authors that gave bad comments are Chinese? I can think of no others but conspiracy. They are employed by some other film companies to spread rumors to undermine the film. These people disguise as judicial people to condemn the film .But,in fact,do you think an illegal production can be showed in foreign countries?The rumor is ridiculous and totally unreliable. What's more ,the original book has been adapted to both film and TV show. Ironically,they enjoy the TV show and flatter it everywhere but slander the film as a product of plagiarism. Simply because they suspect that the original author of Three Lifetime ;Ten Miles of peach Blossoms is a chief .But I really want to ask them this: why don't you condemn the TV show and the supposedly guilty original author but only speak ill of the film if they are such justiciars. Now back to the movie: in my honest opinion, if you are interested in the ancient Chinese culture,It's a good movie for you.There are so many beautiful and magnificent hand-made costumes with beautiful embroidery. What' more, the story is really heart-warming and tell us that Love is, and can be eternal. In a word ,the film Once Upon a Time is a fantastic movie,if you are interested in this kind of movie ,you can enjoy it in the theater.But don't believe in those who spread rumors.After all,they can take profit by doing so and bear no legal liability. It's easy to write something bad without seeing the movie right? I wish people can watch the film before giving their opinions. And don't ever get fooled by some pretentious "fighting for the rights" comments. |
| User ReviewStone NFantastic scenes, touching story. A must see Chinese myth movie. |
| User Reviewthanunnut tBeautiful pictures, customs and main characters. The special effects are stunning. Yang Yang and Crytal Liu look good together and played their part very well. I've enjoyed the film. |
| User ReviewLide WI have been waiting for a long time for this movie. Hopefully it will play in DC area. |
| User ReviewMellia Meiying LThe novel is plagiarism, HOWEVER, the movie producer company hasn't known it before they bought it because the plagiarism was exposed publicly after they announced the main actress. AND as soon as they knew it, they edited the content to get rid of the plagiarized plots. This movie took lots of efforts from all staffs but was defamed unfairly. Please please please judge it after you watch it. |
