Creation of the Gods 2: Demon Force, Du Grand Spectacle, not very subtle, but very large (critic)

Turned nobles, immortal wizards, stored battles, and various creatures: the big show is assured.

We have tried an interesting experience for you: see Creation of the Gods 2 Without having seen the first Creation of the Gods. And it goes! Well, it is better to have appetite for the big frescoes of fantasy full of stored battles and superpowers, but in the genre, Demon Force ensures. Let us try a summary of Gweilo of the first episode: in an ancient fantasized China, the army of a sick Lord (physically and mentally) wants to conquer a city whose defense is led by a heroic young prince. Nothing but very classic, in short, once the prologue has been connected to the first film and which will necessarily be a little perplexed abroad in these places. The film deploys its intrigue very well, once accepted the rules of the local game.

Chinese blockbuster with the flaws (naive nationalism) and the usual visual and rhythmic qualities (generosity), Demon Force So tells the fights between tormented nobles (the general -in -chief of the evil army is splendid), immortal wizards with imaginative powers (the “curse of the black moon” is nicely found) and various creatures: inflamed horse, winged green demon , and quartet of very friendly giants (our favorite being the one who handles the “chaos umbrella” in combat, but the player lute of fire and wind is not bad either).

It is square, ultra epic, sometimes weighing by force … but constantly of quality, unlike other blockbusters produced by the western barbarians. If the film, pure entertainment, does not seek vertigo or visual shock, and even if its mythology (yet from The inauguration of the godsone of the legendary stories among the best known and the most influential in China) is less powerful than that of, to the pif, Princess Mononoké (a simple question of relation to the living: crucial in Miyazaki, secondary in Demon Force), the ticket price is largely reimbursed. A Creation of the Gods 3 is already planned, as the three () bonus scenes illustrate the end credits promise. By then, it may be necessary to think of catching up with the first film.
