Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed We're just given a pastiche of stories and devices we've seen done a million times over and with a better result... Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 13, 2008 Full Review John J. Puccio Movie Metropolis ...beyond the scenery, costumes, and landscapes, there isn't much more than the sword fighting, and that gets old fast. Rated: 5/10 Aug 7, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This is a modestly entertaining Korean martial arts film. A last surviving prince is missing and must be found to save the kingdom. We have the high wire flying scenes that we are familiar with. The story is a framework for the hand-to-hand and sword fighting scenes. These action scenes are all well done. The four lead actors (2 men, 2 women) are all uniformly attractive people. The actresses are unusually attractive women. This is always bodes well for the success of a movie. It was an OK trip to the flics. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrific Korean wuxia/chanbara with the most explosive squibs I've ever seen. Could have used less melodrama and more slow-mo. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved this period Korean swordplay drama, perhaps as I've taken such a long break from the genre. It's not a classic but it being Korean rather than Chinese gives it a slightly different atmosphere and feel from the usual films in the genre. Overall, it is pretty well shot, and the fantastic although gory nature of violence keeps the tone from being serious. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Great swords martial arts movie and this one is Korean!
