Haven't seen it but i think it looks interesting. If it's a half decent monster flick then i'm all for it. I'm not expecting the finest acting or intricate story.

The presence of a random white man as the lead in ancient China in a film that SHOULD have an all Chinese cast baffles me. This is just Hollywood straight up admitting "We have no faith in a film set in ancient China being able to do well in theaters without Mighty Whitey." Why they didn't just hire Jet Li or someone similar is beyond me. Sorry to derail your Mighty Whitey faux OUTRAGE but it was a Chinese production CHINESE Director Zhang Yimou said that Matt Damon was not playing a role that was intended for a Chinese actor, he further criticized detractors for not being "armed with the facts" and stated that:
In many ways ‘The Great Wall’ is the opposite of what is being suggested. For the first time, a film deeply rooted in Chinese culture, with one of the largest Chinese casts ever assembled, is being made at tentpole scale for a world audience. I believe that is a trend that should be embraced"
Lucky for Zhang there are white Americans to explain why he's wrong about his movie.

The trailers that I have seen are not enticing me to watch the movie.
