“New Gods: Nezha Reborn” thus revolves more around the details than the big picture. Ji Zhao shows off more of his ability to innovate than he does to animate, and it shows.

Rated: 2.5/5

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

New Gods: Nezha Reborn sports stunning animation and takes a unique approach to its mythology, though its characters are thinly sketched.

Rated: 7

The animation is extraordinary, and effectively melds the surrealism of fantasy animation with the realism of what looks like a city from the 1940s.

Rated: 4/5

Gripping, engaging, and looks fantastic.

Ready Steady Cut

With plenty at stake in the story, the Netflix film will keep viewers on tenterhooks as it travels further into an expansive hole of mythology.

Rated: 3.5/5

a great mix of genres and close to what is released in this period where CGI and animes merged...

i was really excited for this movie but meh....it was OK. the trailers look better than the actual movie. i didn't care for the main guy that much i think thats the main reason i don't care for this. i thought this was going to be a modern day nezha but its this reincarnation thing going on which i guess i understand since its called nezha REBORN but eh, i personally say pass on this 5/10

The characters are paper-thin and the story has little depth with dialogue that reflects that, however, even though ‘Nezha Reborn' is fairly shallow and somewhat generic-feeling, there are elements that show great potential from everyone involved. I think the most interesting example of that is the animation itself: on the one hand, the world and character design are bland and not that great, and the flow of movement often feels wooden (you notice it immediately within the first scene); on the other hand, there are times where extraordinary realism is achieved with some fine details, thanks in large part to a great use of lighting and colour. In short, it's not particularly impressive overall, but there are parts that show great promise and I think there's a lot of talent behind this project. Given time to improve, they could be a force to be reckoned with.
