Disappointed....

Rating: 2/10 (19 June 2001)

Well, we just finished watching the english-dubbed version of this movie. It started off slow, left me bewildered, and actually chuckling and rolling my eyes at the fight scenes.
There were points in the movie where my wife and I were trying to figure out who was in the scene. Was that her boyfriend who came down and swept her from the water? Oh, no. It was Jade Fox. I actually saw wires in several scenes suspending the actors; sad to say the least. I was amazed to see that the movie got such a high rating. The story could have been told better, the fight scenes could have been more realistic, and there could have been better character development.
Scenes were obviously sped up to "enhance" the martial arts, and I don't care how "light" you become as part of your martial arts training, you're still susceptible to gravity.
I'm very glad I didn't see this one in the theatre, and I feel slightly taken by even spending the $3 to rent it. Other comments state that "the ignorant will hate it". Personally, I think only the easily amused will enjoy it. Just my $.02.
