dread-knight

At the intro it drags a bit too long introducing a bit too many characters, being a little confusing at times. The number of characters showcased is rather more than in the 5 Deadly Venoms movie, while also being more boring. Overall it's a romantic movie with some decent kung fu in it and a couple of teachings. A lot of young people that are in schools think that memorizing useless crap won't do them any good, but that's wrong: it trains your memory. Without giving a spoiler, this movie will show a perfect example of that. It's worth about a 7 at most, but I gave it an 8 just to balance. There where some parts where the sound was just damn terrible, when of the characters kept playing some stupid "song" crap for probably 5 minutes, which messed up with my ears, that was a really bad decision but I think might have heard worse...

This is one of the top 10 worst movies I've seen and probably in top 5 when it comes to fighting movies. The plot is really unoriginal and boring, most characters are pretty linear and dull. The fighting is so- so, very cheesy and you can see a lot of wires around. The movie starts somewhat nice, but it gets worse and worse. It's not worth more than 6/10, but I give it less in order to balance things since it was rated pretty high by a lot of people that clearly haven't seen too many good movies, especially from this category *sigh* Yes, Jet Li does play in this movie, but that doesn't mean it's a great one. I had plenty more fun watching Lone Wolf staring Chuck Norris to be honest :) This movie is a disappointment to the genre and it makes the Shaolin monks look pretty bad overall.
