A wonderful mess

Rating: 4/10 (21 July 2010)

Why did this movie win 4 Oscars?!?! Why is this movie considered great? What a hell was so great about it? The idiotic dialogue, the bad acting worthy of a soap opera, or the lack of plot? If this was a fantasy film or a Sci-Fi, maybe i would've bought the totally unrealistic fight scenes where people were flying like superman from tree to tree and over houses, running on the walls or fighting with one hand without looking at the oponnents. But this is seemingly a drama, a love story, an action epic not a fantasy film. I would call it a great unintentional comedy. This movie is the same with another hundred Chinese epic martial arts movies. The only thing that i liked about this picture was the beautiful cinematography. Put this aside, and you have one of the most overrated movies in history.
