@Bica_Bica Dec 6 Il film, soprattutto per le atmosfere, non è all'altezza dell'originale, tuttavia è divertente e mi ha divertito. Al contrario della versione originale, questo film porta a mettersi nei panni del monaco taoista e offre una visione diversa del classico. See more 09/04/2015 This was an awesome movie. Basically an asian chick flick that guys can enjoy as well. As long you do not mind reading subtitles have fun. This flick is very cinimatic has spectacular visuals and a fantastic original story. A great mix supernatural martial arts, love story, heroism and a bit of humor. When it ended I was hoping to see more. See more 08/06/2014 come on it should've been better See more 03/13/2014 A nice emotional journey involving pretty amazing fantasy and a nice love story between a human and a daemon. The film has some really awkward storyline that hampers the narrative - an unnecessary love triangle that restricts the viewer from investing totally on a character. It could have totally been chopped off. The cinematography starts off good but gets monotonous after a certain time with same angular shots that is often distracting. The fight sequences are pretty good particularly towards the end filling in with the visual aesthetic of the movie. Speaking of visuals , it is dazzling and colorful and nicely done striking a fine balance between reality and fantasy. But the biggest positive of the movie is the beautiful underlying eastern score that embellishes the emotional flow of the narrative beautifully. On the whole , this remake is quite appealing to both the eye and the mind , at the same time suffering from a lot of similar mundane characterizations of the leads See more 10/01/2013 It was pretty campy but what impressed me about this film was the visuals. Some effects were sub par b grade effects but others were very cool and quirky. The whole film boasted really mystical and haunting cinematography and some of the performances were awesome particularly that of the ancient tree spirit portrayed by Kara Hui. All in all a pretty cool movie. I will be watching the original though. See more 07/30/2013 Nice trailer, but not a very nice movie. HA! See more Read all reviews
