I love this movie so much
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Seriously, i LOVE martial arts, but i never understood the way of the Asian of always putting weird sci fi stuff in there martial arts movies. Kung Fu come from China, and its so a beautiful art, why dirt it with crappy not possible stuff that to be honest look so freaking dumb...Not the first time i see dumb stuff like human flying or stuff like that, i saw a couple of these Asian movie like crouching tiger hidden dragon, and i can handle a few(and i mean a few) wired shot like in Romeo must Die(also with Jet Li) but when its full of dumb stuff like in this movie(a dude moving with a rolling rock, Jet Li throwing energy ball Ryu style in street fighter...) If i watch mortal kombat i expect Liu Kang to do a Bicycle kick, its a trade mark move, and i expect sub zero to throw ice... But when i watch a movie like this one, i would expect a nice real Asian martial arts movie.
This will sure make fans of grotesque children's shows like X-Men happy but it is guaranteed to be a source of disappointment if not anger to viewers familiar with the atmosphere present in Jin Yong's writing. The film's basic handicap is its effort to shrink a lengthy epic (at least partially) to a standard theatrical run. In the course of the film, you can never know what genre it strives to be in. A regular MA film, period drama or straight slapstick comedy? Sexual jokes and especially the absurd depiction of Huashan (Wah San) cult members serve nothing but to dilute the effect of the setting. The character played by Sammo Hung would fit to any grey-haired, eccentric kung fu master but when it poses to be the portrayal of a mythical Chinese sage like Zhang Sanfeng (Chang San-fung), it becomes too light even to be taken seriously. Few reasons to see this one may be the distinguished acting of Jet Li and mesmerising beauty of Sharla Cheung. In a film with a little from everything, it is doubtful that you'll find anything. Wong Jing would have done better if he kept in waters he knows well. I'd prefer a "Naked Killer" Chingmy Yau for sure.
This is by far the craziest, wackiest Kung-Fu movie I've ever seen. The plot flies by at the beginning with a short narrative and then you see people going crazy on a great race to the "golden Sowrd" or whatever it is to be the supreme martial artist. This movie is perfect for those with attention deficit disorder, it moves at a super quick pace, with crazy fighting. When Jet Li acquires the "Solar Stance" things get really weird...with Jet Li flying over armies of monks shooting fireballs and flipping around. If you want a good story watch CTHD or Hero, but if you want crazy martial artists flipping around shooting fireballs and lighting bolts while yelling "Special Magical Stance!" pick this one up! Best viewed while consuming alcoholic beverages. 10/10
I had heard that this movie was bad, but I foolishly thought "well, it has Jet Li and Chingmy Yau, how bad can it be?". Answer: so bad that it makes you want to turn it off after only the first 5 minutes. Jet Li's fighting - everyone's fighting, actually - is ridiculously overdone and overedited; Yau's charming presence and smile is the only thing this awful, unwatchable movie has going for it. The plot doesn't make a lick of sense (as even those who liked the film have admitted) and the dubbing (of the "Evil Cult" version) is incomprehensible.0 out of 4 stars.
