Hmmm, how would i comment on this? Of course i love Tsui Hark's movie and Jet Li, but this is not really as good as i thought, or maybe i have too high expectation on it? The whole movie is related to the one which have been shoot earlier on at 1992 "New Dragon Inn". This is the part which make me loss my direction of the movie...
Beside the storyline, the actors & actresses are not bad especially Yu Chun Li in this movie. she look so marvelous in this movie, and her character martial's is the best among the rest.

I watched this on new years day. Quite entertaining la the 3D. Loved the concubine's finery and hiao-ness, but her character was kinda useless (and fleeting) to the overall story.
ReplyDelete"hiao-ness"? what a cool word :)
ReplyDeleteShe's actually the reason the war started in the real history~
