The occasional use of comic relief such as dancing to the dangerous machinery’s momentum provide audience with some entertainment. Rather than using the well-known terracotta army (兵马俑), puppets triggered by strings and fire balls were used. Concepts of flesh-eating insects, snake insect-charming, and gears were brilliantly used. The majestic and realistic set of the tomb filled with concealed weapons impressed me.


I wouldn’t say that Jing Boran did not do a good job for his character, but with little lines to play with, there were too many things that happened in the tomb to showcase his personality. He was not exactly able to display the maturity of an immortal man who had a mission to complete (especially the last part where both Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling looked at each other and laughed). He’s solemn, skilled in martial arts and has a secret that no one else know. Jing Boran’s role as Zhang Qiling was a contrast to Wu Xie. For those who have not read the novel, it is safe to assume that he is resourceful and quick-witted. With the least expectation from me, he actually saved the film with his witty and likeable character as Wu Xie (吴邪). Lu Han gave me a pleasant surprise with his acting skills. But having followed the 2 main leads: Jing Boran for his Monster Hunt and Lost and Love, and Lu Han for his reality shows like Running Man China (奔跑吧兄弟) and Back to School (我去上学啦), I went with the expectation of watching the pretty faces and nothing else. Once, his family had got a very special piece of bronze by accident, but when they dug deeper, they traced and found a lost kingdom buried in the basin of north-west China named Xiwangmu Dynasty. Thus, Wu’s family recruited a group of expert raiders, including a mysterious stranger by the name of Zhang Qiling (Jing Boran 井柏然), and went deep into the ruins of the ancient city… Time Raiders (盗墓笔记) Viewer Rating: 3.5/5 *** Time Raiders (盗墓笔记) Movie Review:īefore watching the movie, I’ve already read quite a few online reviews of this film and most were bashing about how lousy the film was. Raised by his Uncle Wu Sanxing (Wang Jing Chun 王景春), Wu Xie is fascinated with old architecture and antiques. Wu told the writer about his tomb-raiding family secrets and its astonishing past, especially the first time when Wu went on adventure with his family and all the strange experiences they have encountered. In order to look for writing material, an unsuccessful writer encountered Wu Xie, right before Wu left the city. Time Raiders tells the tale of Wu Xie (Lu Han 鹿晗) who is an antique shop owner with a family history of tomb raiders. 沙拉瓦特, Ma Sichun 马思纯, Wang Jingchun 王景春 Zhang Boyu 张博宇, David Lee 李仁港 and adventure/fantasy movie fans.Time Raiders (盗墓笔记) Movie Review | by Recommended Audience: Fans of Lu Han 鹿晗, Jing Boran 井柏然, Mallika Sherawat 玛丽卡
