The final big fight and sacrifices is so underwhelming and i can think of at least 10 ways to end the fight without sacrificing anyone important. Matt Damon and the girl general keep using the word '信任' (trust), and those scenes are so cheesy it made me cringe. I know Matt Damon is supposed to help the chinese to defeat the monster (he is the superstar after all) but not that blatant. it took them 60 years to learn how to successfully defend the wall. If you expect to see some really clever china military and weapon technology / skills, you will be disappointed. The soldiers (not normal soldier mind you, it is a team of elite soldier trained to fight the monster.) is so sloppy they need an outsider to save them from a simple situation. The dialogue feels like someone is whipping the writer and screaming 'make it simpler! use more common words!' There is no build up tension from the monster. (there is a few scene of him banter with pedro pascal and we get to see a more funny side of him). After the trailer came out, some people comment that Matt Damon looks like he is reading line from the script with no emotion, and he is like that most of the time. Andy Lau, Eddie Peng, Pedro Pascal and Willem Dafoe is all proven great actors, but the film still manage to make them look bad. Most of the main cast is really good actors.

i am a big Matt Damon fans, and i want to like this film so bad. The film is just boring and have no depth. TL DR: I expect nothing and I'm still let down.

The great wall movie full
