The Great Wall Ratings & Reviews

Arthas MenethilSeptember 3, 2025
NGL, this was entertaining, visuals were pretty decent, and the actions pretty good. A guilty Pleasure...

"The Great Wall" is a fantasy film filled with action. If you are looking for any realism, then this movie will be a disappointment. Strap in and enjoy the ride, just don't look for anything but fighting with some plot filler to move the action along.

It's popcorn nonsense. I think even Damon is embarrassed by this one.

That time when Hollywood and Matt Damon tried to shamlessly lure China investors. The worst from both Matt Damon and Zhang Yimou.
