If you enjoy adventure movies with supernatural elements, such as "Indiana Jones", "Tomb Raider" and the likes, then you should most definitely give "Mojin: The Lost Legend" a chance. But also Xiaoqing Liu (playing Madam Ying) was standing out here with her performance.

The three lead talents were equally performing well in the movie that being Huang Bo, Kun Chen and Shu Qi. "Mojin: The Lost Legend" has a good assembly of cast members. And the special effects and CGI team handled this with flying colors. Especially because special effects and CGI that prove convincing, realistic or just dazzling awesome are very important to movies such as this. The effects in "Mojin: The Lost Legend" were goods and that really helped the movie along quite nicely.
And as such, then there weren't really any slow, dull or boring moments throughout the two hours that the movie run for. There is a very good pace to the movie, and it kicks up into a fast and good pace early on, and it doesn't really slow down throughout the course of the movie. But what secrets will the Mojin unearth in this ancient tomb? And are the intentions of their employer really what they say? Whom can you trust when you are trapped far beneath the surface of the Earth? And when Wang Kaixuan (played by Huang Bo) sends an alluring video with proof of an ancient tomb, the interest of the Hu Bayi (played by Kun Chen) and Shirley (played by Shu Qi) is stirred. The story is about three close-knitted tomb explorers whom is drifting apart, as they are not adjusting to life in USA, after having left China behind. And let me just say that this movie can essentially be summarized as a Chinese "Tomb Raider" movie, of sorts. I became aware of the movie because I am a fan of Shu Qi, so of course I had to watch the movie. "Mojin: The Lost Legend" (aka "The Ghouls", a title which do the movie no justice at all) is definitely not a movie that you should let slip under your radar.

While Bayi and Shirley have become romantically involved and Kaixuan feels that the great Mojin deserve more than the financial despair they've faced in the States, the trio are pulled back into a grave-robbing game in Inner Mongolia, China, to explore the reason behind the death of Ding Sitian, who was Bayi and Kaixuan's first love died back in 1969. In 1988, the three Mojin(tomb raider), Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, and Shirley Yang, retires and relocates to New York.
