It removed all of the animal sidekicks and musical numbers which I assumed meant it was going to be a more mature and realistic live adaptation of the Chinese classic. But then it added flying shape-shifting chi users and the huns replaced by acurate looking live actors...who can somehow run straight up walls making the "great wall" completely redundant. Casting was 10/10 and the story was as good as could be expected, but unnecessary bad cgi that looks like its part of a high school production and unnecessary chi magic ruined what could have been.
