The Great Wall
As visually stunning as I expect this to be i forsee getting the same kind of reception as films like Season of the Witch and The Last Knights.

Zhang Yimou addresses the whitewashing controversy circling The Great Wall
Our film is not about the construction of the Great Wall. Matt Damon is not playing a role that was originally conceived for a Chinese actor. The arrival of his character in our story is an important plot point. There are five major heroes in our story and he is one of them — the other four are all Chinese.
Wouldn't it be crazy if people actually watched movies before blasting them into oblivion over racial/social/other issues that they have no context for because they haven't seen the films? I mean, there was foolishness with Tropic Thunder and none of it was warranted.
If anything with these films, it's the historical inaccuracy that should be getting people riled up. I'm not saying it's an issue in this film, just that some of these period pieces take so much liberty that it hurts the brain at times.

You mean giant dragon monsters didn't really attack China?
So this was as expected. Great visuals and costumes but a flat and pointless story. It was also too short as it could've benefitted from more battles. It probably needed more money thrown at it too because as good as much of the visuals were I felt that other were deliberately shrouded in smoke and fog to avoid needed more money spent on them much in the same way as Assassins Creed did.
