"League of Gods"

"League of Gods" (Chinese: 3D封神榜) is a 2016 Chinese fantasy action film directed by Koan Hui and co-produced by Charles Heung and Wilson Yip. It is loosely based on the classic 16th-century Chinese novel "Fengshen Yanyi" (also known as The Investiture of the Gods), which blends historical events from the Shang and Zhou dynasties with mythical and legendary elements.

The film features an ensemble cast, including Jet Li, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Louis Koo, Angelababy, and Tony Leung Ka-fai. It tells the story of a group of heroes and immortals who unite to overthrow the tyrannical King Zhou of Shang, who has fallen under the spell of the demonic fox spirit Daji.

Visually driven and filled with CGI-heavy action sequences, League of Gods attempts to merge ancient Chinese mythology with modern superhero-style storytelling. Despite its star-studded cast and high-budget effects, the film received mixed reviews due to its plot complexity and over-reliance on visual spectacle.
