New Gods: Yang Jian Reviews
Elements of Madness
Douglas Davidson
... returning director Zhao Ji invites audiences to go on a journey through the immortal realm, bearing witness to the awesome might of several legendary warriors in a film that evokes the more traditional flourishes of wuxia tales.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
The chance to see the extraordinary work Light Chaser Animation has done is reason enough to check out the film.
But Why Tho? A Geek Community
Kate Sánchez
Visually stunning, New Gods: Yang Jian effortlessly captures myth, beauty, and adventure. I can't wait to see what Light Chaser has to offer next.
Cultured Vultures
Charlie Ceates
New Gods: Yang Jian showcases some stunning animation from studio Light Chaser. Unfortunately, it also stands as an easily forgettable piece of storytelling.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Ordoña
Whatever else one comes away with, "New Gods: Yang Jian" belongs alongside the more visually striking recent animated features.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
An exhilarating, thrilling and dazzling spectacle.
IGN Movies
Samantha Nelson
New Gods: Yang Jiang is worth watching for its novel animated action sequences, but its muddled story lacks the punch of its predecessor, New Gods: Nezha Reborn.
WBGR-FM (93.7 FM - Monroe, WI)
Patrick McDonald
The animated visuals are nothing short of stunning, combining sci-fi with the look of ancient China, like all the flying ships looking like Chinese junk boats. The story reminded me of Star Wars, with the Luke Skywalker role in Freudian search of Mother.
In Review Online
Matt McCracken
All told, New Gods: Yang Jian is exceedingly competent from a technical standpoint. As for the screenplay and editing, Yang Jian suffers from the same bloated excess of White Snake, managing to be some twenty minutes longer for no discernible reason.
New York Times
Robert Daniels
Even for fans of this animated universe, "New Gods: Yang Jian" can't turn its viewers into believers.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
Eye-catching visuals can't disguise the erratic storytelling and stupid dialogue. The movie's world building is inadequately explained. The choppy editing seems intended for viewers with short attention spans, yet it still makes the story very dull.
Polygon
Tasha Robinson
Visual thrills are the main draw in Yang Jian.
Bounding Into Comics
Chris Sawin
New Gods: Yang Jian feels like an alternate timeline of Journey to the West along with all of the jazzy influence of Cowboy Bebop. The animation is slick and impressive, but the intentionally slow storytelling dims the spectacle of the visuals.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
While the first hour of "New Gods: Yang Jian" is about as attractive as it is surreal, the back half only works if you care about the destinies of its undistinguished protagonists.
Common Sense Media
Brian Costello
The animation in New Gods: Yang Jian is consistently impressive and beautiful, but without a coherent story, the striking visuals only go so far.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Charles Solomon
It feels like two stories not very well grafted together.
Variety
Murtada Elfadl
a fine addition to the New Gods saga with impressive animation that fills the frame with details that illuminate the narrative.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
