Watch Flying Swords of Dragon Gate For Free

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

'Flying Swords of Dragon Gate' is such a movie that uses many special effects. Special effects have made the movie more powerful. Though it is a historical film, It is a non-fiction film. Special effects have made it as a non-fiction film. I watched it tonight. I don't know Chinese but Subtitle is must for me. Wuxia film is totally different from Dhallywood, Bollywood and Hollywood. So this film is more admirable. It seems I saw such a great film.

Famed Asian director Tsui Hark known for the Once Upon Time China series and his most recent Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame returns with an all-new remake/reimagining of the Dragon Inn series with Flying Swords of Dragon Gate. This film not only features Hark bringing back the famed wuxia style, superstar Jet Li and is the first wuxia film shot entirely in 3D.Flying Sword is set three years after Dragon Inn and the original owner Jade has disappeared and in her place a band of marauders disguised as citizens in hopes to find a fabled lost city. This was a great entry into this genre of martial arts filmmaking. The sets and visuals are as epic as every taking you into the world just like those that came before it. The story is fairly straight forward and not as nearly convoluted as most in this genre, but does a have a few moments here and there that veer off on an unstable path, but return with little confusion. The cast all do a great job bringing their characters to life and delivering the needed action to make this film work. Much like the original Dragon Inn films in 1992 this hearkens back to the time of over the top wild and crazy action that works on every level. This film sports some of the best martial arts action of this genre in sometime. Somewhere it seemed like they forgot how much fun and great these films were, but thankfully Hark is bringing it back. While not getting the chance to witness the 3D in action, it is clear from the way this movie is shot that they took full advantage of it. It easily enhanced the 2D version making it more intriguing and fun while never being distracting.For all those bummed about Jet Li's minimal return in Expendables 2, this is a welcomed replacement to get your Li fix. He is in top form reminding everyone where he came from and why we love him so much. As if this great film wasn't enough as is, there is even a cameo by the legendary martial arts icon Gordon Liu that will make old school fans of this genre smile. If you like Li or these old school style martial arts films, you have to check this film out, you will not be disappointed.http://www.examiner.com/movie-in-dallas/bobby-blakey

Well, I do like this kind of movie.The good: the 3D is really quite good, though a little inconsistent. Sometimes lots of the scene is in focus, other times less of it, for no real reason. I think that the scenes with really good 3D were maybe CGI as well?The so-so: The plot was hard to follow, with cross, double cross and triple cross, and the impostor characters. Also the female character with the tattoos on her face, every time she spoke the subtitles said (tartar), whatever that meantThe bad: so much CGI. CGI ships, landscapes, clouds, sand. Hard to know what was filmed in the real world.Summary: you have to be a real fan to buy this.Funny thing: I gave this a 7 before starting to type the review, but I've talked myself into reducing it to a 6

Flying Swords of Dragon Gate is exactly how to make use of 3D technology. Apart from James Cameron's Avatar, the use of 3D has been mostly disappointing. Innovative director Tsui Harks does it again and exceeds all expectations in delivering not only a great movie, but uses 3D to maximum effect. In a reunion of sorts, Jet Li teams up with Tsui Hark for the first time since the Once Upon a Time in China days. After the staggeringly excellent Detective Dee's last year, Hark continues his great form by bringing the audience into his imaginary world with 3 times the realism and some stunning special effects. Every inch of the budget seems to be perfectly used and the action direction is top class. The use of daggers, flying swords and martial arts display are all perfectly aided by the 3D effects. It is rare that a remake/re-imagination of an all time classic New Dragon Gate (1991) can be out-dux, but Hark achieves the impossible by delivering the most impressive and creative Hong Kong movie of the year. Although Jet Li seems wasted in a role that is far too limited for both his acting and martial arts abilities, Zhou Xun impresses in a role that requires little, but crucial to the movie. Chen Kun once again impresses in a duo role and Taiwanese Kwai Lun-mei adds some flair and style. However, if there is one big flaw in the film, it is the lack of chemistry between Li and Zhou. Then again, it is probably truism by now that Li rarely strikes up chemistry with co-stars and with Rosamund Kwan (Once Upon a Time in China series) out of the game, it is hard to see which actress can bring down his romantic defenses.Still, Flying Swords of Dragon Gate is more than a stellar effort and qualifies as true Asian Blockbuster of the year. It is the kind of movie that will bring the people back to the cinemas. All in all, it is probably an understatement to call Tsui Hark a genius, but just when all his Hollywood count parts fails to understand 3D technology, Hark steps up and above his peers and deliver a sucker punch of a movie. Flying Swords of Dragon Gate is not just a good movie, but it is a great movie on all levels. It is what you call a unique movie experience that brings in the world of Wuxia to the maximum effect. I am proud of Tsui Hark's achievements and after watching Flying Swords of Dragon Gate, he too should be proud of himself. Simply the film to beat in 2011… Neo rates it 9.5/10
