I was pleasantly surprised by The Great Wall. I did not know much about
this movie. I knew it revolved around The Great Wall of China, and it
had Matt Damon in it. Beyond that I was pretty clueless. The Great Wall
has a very interesting premise. This movie is all about fantasy
creatures attacking China. They are attacking because some past emperor
was greedy. Although I never really understood how.
The issues families can have with The Great Wall are violence, blood,
gore, bad language, false gods, evolution, and more. They really like
their drums in The Great Wall. There are a lot of different colors shown
in the various troops. I did not understand the bunjee diving women. Why
not just drop things down on the monsters that are attacking? Boiling
hot oil that can be lit on fire makes sense to me.
One of the themes in The Great Wall is trust. It is used in multiple
places in this movie. Characters must learn to trust one another. There
is an under current theme in The Great Wall about how powerful and
destructive black powder weapons are. I will not spoil the ending for
you. I will say there are things in the ending that made no sense to me.
I would have liked to see some different things happen personally.
The emperor in The Great Wall is nothing like me or even Serpentor for
that matter. The emperor in The Great Wall is a sniveling coward. It
offends me on so many levels. How can so many people give their lives to
someone who does not deserve it? Nor does he care about them. The Great
Wall is very pro-China, and anti-Western world. Seeing Matt Damon attack
us again does not surprise me. He has a history of that.
