Beautifully rendered above average martial arts movie.

The prologue is beautiful but drawn out and redundant. Initially we meet car valet Simu Liu as Shaun reprising his role as Jung from Kim’s Convenience. It is difficult to see past him as this character, intelligent but drifting in life, until the inevitable first fight which is extraordinarily well choreographed, much better than most of the subsequent fights. The main plot elements are dull, daddy issues, resentful sister, side-kick jester girlfriend. This and the main arc (magic collectibles) are vehicles upon which to hang the fabulous cgi vistas, effects and gratuitous violence. In-the-round an enjoyable watch, but nowhere near the promotional hype nor the ‘best movie ever’ hysteria.
