Argh!!!

Rating: Null/10 (28 March 2001)

I heard many people and reviews saying that this film is probably the best film that they have ever seen. Everyone seemed to be amazed by what they had seen on the screen, the visual effects, storyline, action, music and many more.
After hearing all these great reviews, I wanted to see what the fuss was about this film. And after sitting through the film, it didn't really have the same affect on me. i felt that this film wasn't bad, but it definately wasn't wicked.
If you ask other Chinese people who regularly watch Chinese films, you will also get mixed views. But Most would probably feel that they have seen better. The fact that it was one of the first old times chinese era films on worldwide big screens, that people got all excited about it.
I agree that visually, it was fantastic. That was for me, the highlight of the film. But the story was a bit dull, the love story was silly as the connection between the princess and the trampy western fighter was so unromantic!
But lots of people would surely disagree with me. You're free to do so, but if you are one of these people who have not seen a film like this before, then I do not blame you for not being fascinated. But if you have, then you might be disappointed. A 7/10 for me
