I'm not the type that always prefers the old to the new. I quite embrace new versions. However, this rendition of Condor Heroes was a waste of my life. No depth in conversations, very annoying acting. They cut out alot of lore and background, so I doubt this is a good watch for those new to the Condor Heroes franchise. The sad fact is that this drama focused completely on CGI and action scenes but skipped EVERYTHING else. There are however even faults with the action scenes! For a Martial Arts film, all it did for every episode was fist fights... All the types of martial arts, and focus on skills and training were thrown out of the window. Basically everyone more or less fought the same, taking away the fun of watching each style of martial art being represented. Nice sceneries and backgrounds were its only saving grace. If not this would have been 1/10.
Legend of the Condor Heroes is one series that can never get old. This version proves that with good actors, good fighting choreographery and good background score, a modern series can genuinely compete with their 80s versions. Main leads are top notch, supporting casts are all very good, especially Old Beggar (guy gave me young jackie chan vibe) and Huang Yaoshi (kudos to Michael Miu for his charm). Special effects are used but havent been overdone like 2003 & 2008 version. Initial Mongolia storyline is made brief but based on viewer feedback that portion is the most boring part of the story, so cutting that portion would not invite a lot of complaints. Overall, a worthy series for your time. I would rate it one notch above 2008 version and at par with 1983 version.

Yes, i watched almost all condor heroes trilogy remake and i can say that this one is the best of them all. there are two things that i really like about this movie.
first is there is minimal exaggerated fight effect or so called chi. of course there are still some this inner energy burst, condor heroes movies believe that martial artists have inner energy they can burst out to attack enemies or defend themselves. but it is on the right portion, not too much and not too little.
second, there is no kissing scene. yes, in my opinion this represent ancient chinese culture. this also add some kind of romantic feels that i immediately lost on kissing scene.

Very good series. Exciting and engaging. But seriously need great patience to tolerate the utter dumbness and clueless Guo Jing. Saving grace is his sense of honor and right
We love Jin Yong's LOCH novel since it is beautifully portrayed. However this adaptation change the storyline and the plot so much not following the original novel's. theteforr you should not use the title LOCH as er hope to see a Jin Yong's not a false adaptation.
