the best movie I have seen since Matrix

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2001)

Big WOW, definitely the best movie I have seen since Matrix. I had heard good reviews, so I knew I wanted to see it. It definitely didn't disappoint. I am not really a fan of Martial Arts movies, but this one really transcends the genre. Actually, calling it a Martial Arts movie is doing it a disservice as it is so much more.
The imagery is breathtaking and is equal to movies like Indochine, Snow Falling on Cedars, The Sweet Hereafter and Ran. However, the action was even more stunning. Think Matrix/Star Wars except no guns or lasers. Actually the sword fight scenes are probably more like what Lucas had in mind.
