This was not my first choise in the cinema during that night, but wow, luckily me and my friends went for it instead :) A movie which not to be missed in this year. Splendid martial kungfu fighting wushu film which took your breath away.

Michelle Yeoh looks so young in this film, definitely have to thanks to the magical make up :) Still love her but kinda weird when its not her original voice in the movie. Barbie definitely show all of us how a bitch should be :) hehe, not bad though, but i believe it will be better if her sister is taking this part~

The whole movie is nice, storyline is good, a bit predictable in the end but still manage to stunt u with all the actions they have in the fighting.
