About
If you enjoy romantic fantasy with lots of magic, creatures, and big, sometimes over-the-top CGI action, this could work for you; Not for you if you want tight plotting or subtle effects like in The Myth.
Pros: emotional forbidden romance; imaginative creatures and magic; colorful fantasy action | Cons: CGI can look choppy; story can feel confusing; tone turns slapstick
