Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon

2013
124 minutes
Mandarin, English Subtitles

5 stars

Be sure to fasten your seat belt before watching—this is a heckuva ride! And, oh, what a ride it is. I hope more are coming. You may have to watch it twice. Once to read all the subtitles, and the second time to watch all the action. You may have to suspend a bit more of your disbelief than usual what with all the visuals, gravity defying martial arts, and story line. Sea Dragons are not the only evil things in the capital city of Luoyang.  And our intrepid Young Detective Dee must solve the mystery and save the country, or die in the process. This movie is pure fun and entertainment. It's what movies should be, in my opinion.
