Shu shan zheng zhuan

I've read the the director made this film in order to present a vision that was not possible in the first iteration due to special effects limitations of the time. Apparently, he concentrated too much on special effects and left off the story. That being said, does anyone know if there will be a third movie that tries to concentrate on both story and effects?

The Greatest "Flying Kung Fu" Movie of all time! And to be quite honest with you, I have no earthly idea what the HELL this movie is about... But it IS very entertaining. Almost every scene is crammed full of computer enhanced visuals and special effects. This is Tsui Hark's "10-Year In The Making" sequel to WARRIORS OF THE ZU MOUNTAINS. And it kicks ass! There's a whole handfull of wires in this one, but you never really get the chance to see them because of all the incredable action scenes that fill this "watching a comic book on the screeen" fiasco of gravity defiance. Since it's obviously based on some Chinese mythology or legend, which I failed to really comprehend, let me just describe it in terms that we can all understand... It's CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON meets THE MATRIX!

... fantastic. This movie contains great actors, good CGI and beautiful cinematography! The special effects aren't as realistic as in most Hollywood movies, but they're far more original and stylish. And you just have to love the voice of Insomnia (the BAD dude of this movie)!!! It's great! I also liked the fairy played by gorgeous Kelly Lin.

There's just so much great things in this movie! It's far from perfect, but a LOT better than Hollywood special effect -movies such as The Mummy or Tomb Raider... actually I think it's even better (at least more original) than The Matrix.

I haven't seen the old ZU yet (I just bought it), but I guess it would be useless to compare the movies anyway. I guess this new version is VERY different from the old Zu warriors.

If you can handle a bit complicated and weird story and like over-the-top superhero/fantasy -action, then this movie is FOR you!

Five reasons to watch this:

1. Great special effects 2. Tsui Hark 3. Cecilia Cheung, Sammo Hung, Ekin Cheng and co. 4. Tsui Hark 5. The great music.

This film, an adaptation of Tsui Hark's 1983 classic of Hong Kong cinema by none other than the original director is a visual feast of comic book style special effects and a superhuman battle between good and evil. This is an imaginative film, full of wonder and magic on an epic scale. Legends of Hong Kong cinema unite and come to life in this magical story of supernatural beings and the deeds they do.

This Movie is like a Comic Book come to life,A great ride,with some great characters.Including the character of "King Sky" played by Ekin Cheng of "Tokyo Raiders". "The Legend of Zu" incorporates an unprecedented level of computer animation into a Hong Kong film. Tsui Hark brings this world of immortals and demons to life with beautiful computer-generated backdrops and special effects in every scene of the film. Almost like a painting come to life,Trust me,This a movie in which you have to suspend your level of disbelief. And observe the big picture.It's better than the garbage that Hollywood,keep forcefully spoonfeeding us. Trust me,it's handdown,a very enjoyable film..
