Did anyone see "The Great Wall"?
-
Yes I did with the family, we loved it. A nice amount of action with some funny parts, Damon is always good, a lot of Asian influence as might be expected.

It's watchable.

I thought it was a hoot! The cast was great including Pedro Pascal (best known for his portrayal of Oberin Martell on GoT) in a surprisingly funny and witty role. Damon and Tian Jing had very good onscreen chemistry/rapport (note that she's not a love interest in the conventional sense). I thought the effects were good and the action scenes well done. I realize the reviews weren't very positive and the film was lambasted by the SJW's well before a single frame of film was released, so it started out in the hole. But I don't think it was the "white savior" thing at all, and it annoys me that the clicktivists start their crusades without a clue as to what a film is actually about, just indignant about casting decisions they don't understand.
It won't win any awards but the acting is strong, the effects are good and I found it to be pretty entertaining. YMMV.

I likes it as well. Definitely not a Last Samara type of movie......

Another thumbs up for a entertaining popcorn flick. I grew up with Friday night creature features and this would be a great one.
I think the new-to-me category of Action Horror covers this? Love me my action horror.

I agree it was a pretty good creature feature for those who like that type of movie.
