If you’re tuned in, you know that Ne Zha 2 is the biggest film coming out of the Lunar New Year rush, earning $1B and on it’s way to $2B - the most successful PRC animated film yet. It’s going into wide international release. I hope to see it this week.
In prep, I rewatched the original, which is what I should’ve done for Creation of the Gods 2. Again, I forgot so much about this film that it makes me wonder about my state of mind, but re-reading my original review, clearly I saw it and was paying attention. I just didn’t retain much over the last 5 years.
One second viewing, it appealed to me less. The immortals are annoying, and I disdain evil dragons. Ne Zha is a misunderstood brat, but that’s the legend. His immortal shifu is too much of a drunken clown and I still don’t get the flying pig. But at least I’m ready for 2, which I should see soon - I think the wide release will extend to the Cruz.
Seen on hoopla.
