| | Can't Wait for the DVD to come out! | GinChi 03/04/2009 | As a martial artist myself, I am seldom impressed by movies of that genre however; this movie was a nice mixture of fantasy with incredibly trained and spectacular martial artists specifically Ms. Kreuk and Robin Shou who have obviously spent a great deal of time refining their arts. In addition, Mr. Shou portrays the sage/mentor to perfection!
I attended the movie not so much to be entertained but to treat my visual sense to what is possible within the martial arts world.
If you enjoy martial arts, acrobatics or just plain action fliks, this is the one although, there is nothing plain about it.
Warm Regards,
GinChi |
