This is moderately entertaining. I'm not a huge fan of martial arts movies, but there were some good fight scene here, likable characters, and a nice straightforward plot. The visuals were also gorgeous -- the scenery surrounding the fight scenes was often really beautiful. I'm not sure this movie is going to stick with me, but it was a fun afternoon watch, and anyone who enjoys fantasy martial arts movies should definitely check this one out.
3.5 stars.
Flickchart: #908 out of 2185, below City Lights and above V/H/S/2.
