Liked this movie based on brotherhood. A scholar and a fox on a journey meeting various challenges is a quite classic format of Chinese mythical tales. This movie is beautifully executed. The CGI is brilliant. I don't think many people will notice it but background music is also good. Often bad background score can spoil a good movie. The background score for this movie is given by none other than Joe Hisaishi, who has given music to Miyazaki movies from Studio Ghibli. Remember "One Summer Day" from Spirited Away - that's Joe Hisaishi. Don't miss this experience!

The sequence of scholar giving exam and descending to nether realm is one of the most brilliant plot devices I've seen in recent Chinese fantasy genre. That alone makes this movie worth watching. I don't know about second watch, but this movie is definitely worth a try at least once.

Movie is full of beautiful colors. Overall a very pleasant watch. Perhaps men will like this more.
