Tsui is capable of better than this. Go to Full Review Liam Lacey Globe and Mail 03/02/2007

The problem is that Seven Swords' narrative is so cluttered with briefly sketched characters and subplots as to be almost impossible to follow. Go to Full Review Justin Bowyer Empire Magazine 04/01/2006

What could and should have been great is reduced to the tragically dull. A wasted opportunity of immense proportions. Go to Full Review Jason Gorber Film Scouts 06/21/2007

It's pretty enough to keep you at least mildly concerned about where things are headed. Go to Full Review Anton Bitel Film4 06/15/2007
these Seven Swords do not so much pierce as bore. Go to Full Review Jim Slotek Jam! Movies 03/02/2007
3/5
[The film] leaves itself open in the end for sequelization, which would be a good thing. There's enough worth appreciating in Seven Swords to think that a second try could easily find its comfort zone. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Leprechaun K @LeprechaunKing Feb 26 Wonderfully directed by Tsui Hark with good cinematography. It has some of the best martial arts action sequences done by Lau Kar Leung and Tung Wai, two of the absolute best action choreographers in the industry. Some of the subplots seem unnecessary and should have been spent on additional character development of the seven main protagonists. It is still an exceptional wuxia film nonetheless. Weapons design is outstanding and helps elevate the action sequences. Filming location is also great and provides a fitting backdrop for the story. A great film overall. See more alex r 01/09/2023 Subpar fight choreography , nonexistent plot and character development See more 01/03/2021 A tried-and-tested setup where powerful villains face resistance from a heroic few. And it delivers with the necessary triumphs while keeping the evil menacing enough. See more 11/03/2019 Plot is pretty dumb fight scenes are ok See more 01/05/2016 Very poorly paced film and many plot holes even in the director's cut. See more 10/26/2014 I'm a great fan of Tsui Hark. His movies are stylish ripping yarns. A mystical Chinese Seven Samurai. See more Read all reviews
