Liam D @Mediawatcher2003 Jul 1 An Wuxia masterpiece. This film combines great action, beautiful costumes, fantastic acting and solid effects See more Ronnie M 10/02/2023 Every scene is cinematic majesty. See more 01/17/2019 Fantastic wuxia film that is well deserving of its reputation. Great stuff. See more 01/31/2015 Much of the overacting from the human yin/yang comes across as comedy. There's some good wuxia scenes, but it's mostly drama, romance, and bad effects. Interesting lighting and colors, but very dated and overrated. See more 05/04/2014 This was a beautiful movie combining action, good romance, and a tragic yet captivating story. I admit the villain was a bit on the strange side but nevertheless it was good. The sequel can't beat this. See more 09/23/2013 A great example of Chinese action-fantasy. Incredibly good looking. Fighting choreography is also top notch. RECOMMENDED. See more Read all reviews
