While “Creation of the Gods I” is not yet a personal, let alone essential, series, you can see glimpses of the epic that director Wuershan has arguably been working his way up to since “The Butcher, the Chef, and the Swordsman,” his wildly uneven, but occasionally disarming 2010 breakthrough.

Luckily, there are enough idiosyncrasies to set it apart not only from US superhero cinema but from earlier adaptations of the same story (including a kitsch, cartoonish 2016 take, League of Gods, which starred Jet Li).

“Kingdom of Storms” “Dazzling to look at,” sure. But the ungainliness of this lumbering, over-populated narrative has one often wondering, “Wait, where’d the Fox Demon go?”

Great Movie!! This is actually my first time watching Chinese box office movie, and it does not disappoint! The story is beautiful, the acting is splendid! And the action does not disappoint. Only think that bug me is some CGI scene that was done poorly, not AAA standard, more like old celestial Chinese movie CGI. Other than that it is a very watchable movie. Cant wait for the second sequel!
