I went to the movies to see this when it just hit the big screen! I paid a whooping $9.50 for my ticket and let me tell you, it was a waste of my time... and my resources. I could have spent that cash on other stuff.

Although the views are nice—I'm talking the landscapes, the panorama, the whole fucking mise en scène— and the CGI gorgeous, there's absolutely no depth to the story.
The setting is generic, the plot ... generic; It's all just generic... and boring.
I didn't much care for the characters either; superficial, experiencing no growth whatsoever.
Beyond the great casting, the creators have delivered nothing of substance - nothing you haven't seen before!
The action scenes were really good and so was the accompanying music.
It's an action movie, but the action just wasn't exciting...again, because I didn't care about any of the characters.

In a way, watching The Great Wall feels like watching potential go down the drain.
$150 million went floating... what a waste!
