it made me enthusiastic about Chinese films

Rating: 8/10 (4 June 2006)

I have seen this film several times and I still enjoy it. I remember hearing some people saying that it was crappy -with people floating around and walking over the water-, but when i saw it i actually enjoyed the special effects and i could understand that this flying around is a part of the Chinese fantasy, just like in arabic tales there are flying carpets, or cyclops and flying horses in the Greek mythology, etc.
I also enjoyed the plot of the film, i like the line when the old guy tells "even the greatest of heroes, in matters of the heart can be an idiot" XD that's very true! The effects are nice, the fights are also good, they seem like dancing what doesn't really disturb be, because all the film gives certain atmosphere that it fits. I also liked the music very much.
Also the subplots are very cool, i really liked the part when the girl remembers how she met dark cloud :) I would give this film a 9/10, but there is something... The end of the film... I don't know, I feel like it is a bit forced, I would rather see how the story goes on :D 8/10
