So, I spent the day watching this flick. I only lapsed for about fifteen minutes.
But basically what DM said. It had a beat and you could dance to it. I liked Andy Lau. I liked Jackie playing Jackie. (I don't know martial arts. I am just a cook)
I really like their version of the temple. I figured they had just found another temple and used that for filming. It even had a much more picturesque location. Although I was going to call foul that they had ponds in the Stele yard. Everyone knows that isn't true.
I did see that Abbot Shi Xong Xin was given a producer's credit. And I think they did take a lot of breaks in the action to talk about good buddhism was. I didn't mind the bad russians. We all know they are bad.
The one thing that disturbs me in these pictures are the horse falls. they do a lot of them and it can't be good for the horse. And since I wasn't sure about the strictures invoked for animal protection in Chinese film production, I figured they were like old school Hollywood. Just trip the horses. If they break, we'll get knew ones. So, I wince whenever I see it happen in these films. Especially the on of the horse falling down the temple stairs. But there is a disclaimer at the end saying all the animals were treated well, so I felt marginally better.

So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
