The 3rd volume in 2006 "Guǐ chuīdēng" (lit. "Ghost Blows Out the Light") eight-volume novel series
Before watching "Mōjīn: The Worm Valley" you should watch the following adventures in the order given here to learn what brought about "The Worm Valley" expedition."Candle in the Tomb" (Guǐ chuīdēng zhī Jīngjué gǔchéng, lit. Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jīngjué) is a 2016–2017 Chinese streaming television series based on the Bái Yīcōng screenplay adaptation of the first novel in the 2006 Zhāng Mùyě (Bǐmíng: Tiānxià Bàchàng) "Guǐ chuīdēng – Ghost Blows Out the Light" eight-volume novel series, directed by Kǒng Shēng, starring Jìn Dòng as Hú Bāyī, running in twenty-one 35-minute episodes."Candle in the Tomb: The Lost Caverns" ("Guǐ chuīdēng zhī Lónglǐng mí kū", lit. "Ghost blows out the light: Lónglǐng Mysterious Cave", also known as Lónglǐng Mysterious Grottos, Lónglǐng Labyrinth, and The Mysterious Cave of Dragon Ridge) is a 2020 Chinese streaming television series based on the Lǔ Chén - Yáng Zhé screenplay adaptation of the second novel in the 2006 Zhāng Mùyě (Bǐmíng: Tiānxià Bàchàng) "Guǐ chuīdēng – Ghost Blows Out the Light" eight-volume novel series, directed by Fèi Zhènxiáng, starring Pān Yuèmíng as Hú bāyī, running in eighteen forty-minute episodes.This review is about "Mojin: The Worm Valley" (also known as "Yúnnán chóng gǔ: Yúnnán Worm Valley"), a 2018 Chinese action adventure fantasy film based on the Fēi Xíng – Gù Hàorán screenplay adaptation of the third novel in the 2006 "Guǐ chuīdēng – Ghost Blows Out the Light" eight-volume novel series, directed by Fēi Xíng, starring Cài Háng as Hú Bāyī, born on 'Army Day' August 1, 1950, a Tomb Raider Mōjīn Xiàowèi lineal descendant from ancient school tomb raiders once commanded by Chinese emperors; Gù Xuán as Shirley Yáng, a wealthy Chinese-American of Mojin ancestry, a photographer for National Geographic magazine, and HúBāyī's love-interest; Yú Héng as Fatty, Wáng Kǎixuán (Bǐmíng: Wáng Pàngzi), Bāyī's childhood 'forever dearest friend', described in the novel as being born in 1951, now 185cm tall, weighing over 100kg, and fearful of heights; Mǎ Yùkē (Bǐmíng: Marc Ma) as Dà Jīn Yá (Bǐmíng: Big Gold Tooth), known as 'Grill', a friend of sorts, an unscrupulous antique dealer and scoundrel; Chén Yǔsī (Bǐmíng: Chén Yǔsōng Yustrontium) as Zhōu Línglóng; Chéng Tàishēn as Professor Sūn; Tāng Zhìwěi as Zhōu Jiǔyé; Tuǒ Zōnghuá as Blind Chén Yùkòu, archeologist blinded and mentally deranged from prior expedition to Worm Valley; Xú lù as Cǎi Yún; Zhū Yú'ner as Kǒng Què (Bǐmíng: Peacock), village acquaintance, admirer and guide; and Zhāng Lùyáo and Liú Yuànyuàn as Empress of Jīngjué; released on December 29, 2018, running 1h 50m.A prequel to the 2015 "Mojin: The Lost Legend", the screenplay presents a romanticized, appealing, and endearing stylized performance that fails to heighten the amazing and dangerous adventure of hunting for a cure to the 'Ghost-Eye Curse', (an erythrodermic inflammation of red spots in the shape of the human eye on the back shoulder), a manifestation of a deadly virus coursing through their veins they contracted in their earlier expedition to the Ancient City of Jīngjué. Thousands of years ago, the evil Princess Jīngjué cast the cruel "Ghost-Eye Curse" upon her own people to subjugate them. Once they reach the age of 40, the iron element in their blood will gradually decrease, become more viscous, and the color will change from red to golden yellow; then, after the blood turns completely golden yellow, the oxygen supply will decrease rapidly, and they will have difficulty breathing and die in great agony.Yú Héng as Wáng Kǎixuán (Bǐmíng: "Fatty" Wáng Pàngzi) does not present the bearing, demeanor, temperament, or behavior typical of others who have portrayed the characterization, and he doesn't fit the novel's physical description of the character "Fatty", and Mǎ Yùkē (Bǐmíng: Marc Ma) as Dà Jīn Yá (Bǐmíng: "Big Gold Tooth") does not present the bearing, demeanor, temperament, or behavior typical of others who have portrayed the characterization, and he doesn't fit the novel's physical description of the character "Big Gold Tooth".The actors are charming and fairly convincing, and they deliver splendid performances and delightful entertainment. The exciting, hazardous, and perilous terrain and death-dealing creatures augment the thrills and suspense. I quite enjoyed the Huǒyàn yíng deadly Flameflies, the Dúshé yú carnivorous Viperfish, the Kūnchóng zhùshè Insect-injected Chóngshū Leather-wrapped Mummies, the Yǒngshēng xiè Deathless Crab, the "Shuǐlóng guānghuán Water Dragon Aura", a deadly miasma toxic vapor that rises from the valley floor every evening, the Xiēzi èmó Scorpion demon, and the Giant Jùshé èmó Snake Demon. You will not be disappointed.However, the better presentation of the "Guǐ chuīdēng Yúnnán Worm Valley" adventure is the 2021 Television Series version titled "Candle in the Tomb: The Worm Valley", based on the Liú' Ānqí, Lǐ Zōngfán, and Shěn Juān screenplay adaptation of the third novel in the 2006 "Guǐ chuīdēng – Ghost Blows Out the Light" eight-volume novel series, directed by Fèi Zhènxiáng and Lǐ Lěi, starring Pān Yuèmíng as Hú Bāyī, which gives more elaborate narrative and locations for the expedition's harrowing dangers and climax; released August 30, 2021, in sixteen 35-minute episodes.The "Guǐ chuīdēng: Ghost Blows Out the Light" eight-volume novel series should be produced for the screen in the chronological style of the 'Star Wars' series, with each episode presenting an introductory prologue to set the period for the beginning of the storyline, whether it is for the 'Mōjīn' theater film productions or for the 'Candle in the Tomb' television series productions. As it is, the disparate productions of the eight-volume novel series fragment the timeline, distorting and obscuring the continuum, leaving us confused about the chronological sequence of the adventures. While each screening has its own story and plot, the narrative is not entirely independent in that it incorporates references to a preceding expedition, presenting an ambiguous chronology.

All the Emotions
I laughed, I cried (alot), I got scared. The action was tense, the cgi and acting was amazing. This is not a movie for the braindead. You have to be able to read and follow a plotline. And yes, this is a part two. But even if you missed the first one, you should be able to follow he movie. At least we can count on China for thought provoking action flicks that make you feel something other then alphabet soup wokeness.

Monsters!
This is a story about a quest which is rudely and repeatedly interrupted by various monsters, mostly very large animals.This makes it similar to /Gods of Egypt/ or /Clash of the Titans/ or the live-action Sinbad films.As others have pointed out, the actors are different. But that doesn't matter -- the characters are different as well. And, frankly, not so well defined, although they do sort themselves out by the end.The end, BTW, may be cliff-hanger for the next Mojin film. Or not, as the case may be.If you like films about quests where people kill really nasty critters, this film should satisfy!

great movie
This is one of their, Mojin and his friends, adventures according to a series of fictions. The story continues with the title: Mojin.Mojin is a rank given by the emperor of Wei dynasty during the "Three Countries" era around AC 220-280 in China. Mojin's work was to find treasures from the tomb to support emperor's financial need. And their descendent use the same skill to make a living up to date.

Visual Beauty, Unsatisfying Story
the visual affects were breathtaking. But many elements to the story didn't make sense. And some actions were predictable (I've seen alot of movies). Most annoying was the ending, as it was not clearly stated nor celebrated whether or not the curse was lifted. Just the overly simple joining action, expected morning the dead, and they prepare to leave out the next morning... leaving for what? None of the characters looked happy, nor satisfied, nor any indication of making it back alive victory. We're told at the beginning it's a suicide mission for all, and yet the characters seem to never recover when one of them dies. And the actor who plays the hero keeps the same wooden & slightly angry expression, no matter what is going on, he doesn't even kiss! But the CGI is exceptional! For beautiful scenes in nature, the monsters, and settings etc this movie is top notch.

WTH!
Welp I'll never get that time back. Visually appealing, Playful, but in a stupid way, like really stupid, like sniffing glue and huffing paint all day style stupid. Superbly crappy acting, and over use of the word RUN! Followed by no story line. Oh wait the ramblings of a moronic and drunken fool. No that's not it. You could somewhat follow a drunken moronic fool. Well there was a story line but they couldn't fit the whole of it into one movie or with a stay-cation budget! So yeah, It sucked!
