The Great Wall Ratings & Reviews

  • Scott SmithJuly 24, 2025
    A good cast, good visuals, good action...so what's not to like? It's a hybrid of Chinese martial arts and warfare, and a monster action movie. Matt Damon and Pedro Pascal are good in their roles. If you're looking for a decent action movie with a monster/creature twist, it's a worthy late night popcorn flick. I suggest watching with closed captioning turned on, for the spoken Chinese dialog.
  • Mister ArnMay 18, 2025
    "The Great Wall" is a fantasy film filled with action. If you are looking for any realism, then this movie will be a disappointment. Strap in and enjoy the ride, just don't look for anything but fighting with some plot filler to move the action along.
