That was AWESOME.
Wuxia is back, baby. Warring clans, filial piety, honor, betrayal, protecting the weak, and of course, vengeance. Bloody, bloody vengeance. So many cold weapons - swords, spears, melon hammers, retractable wolverine claws, hard whips, bows, arrows, axes, axes chainlinked to flying claws - YWP directing cold weapon fights? Yes please. Some very panoramic scenes of exotic desert landscapes. Shot in IMAX and I would've loved to have seen it so. Jet delivers a nice opening fight, but make no mistake, this is a Wu Jing film.
I cannot think of a better way for me to celebrate the Year of the Fire Horse.
D00M recommended. See it on the big screen if you can.
