So much promise, such terrible execution. AND it was convincing and believable, instead of the mess they made of it in this movie. If you have watched the Candle In the Tomb: The Wrath of Time series, the one with Vengo Gao, you'll be SHOCKED at how much scarier, more exciting and dangerous that centipede fight was. The fight choreography is terrible and even the physicality required for tomb raiding are not evident in this movie. If you compare the biggest, baddest creature - the 6 winged Giant Centipede, all the scenes featuring it are completely unconvincing from a sets and creature effects standpoint.

Even though he's dead in the present day, his scenes are STILL the best in this laughably boring movie, because (1) he is COOL and none of the present day generation has half his charisma and (2) the effects and production values are just low. Horrible sets / CGI, can't believe this was a 2020 film (feels like a 1980s one) Mojin: Mysterious treasure is set in the present day, but has numerous flashbacks to the Republican Era raiding of the Xiangxi Tomb where we first meet Shirley's ancestor, the great Zhe Gu Shao.
