Huh?

#22? What's this?
In a flashy, but extremely unbelievable martial arts outing, a jumpy band of swordsmen (and swordswomen) do battle over a flimsy-looking sword called "Green Destiny". Does anyone else think we lost some things in translation?
By jumpy, of course, I mean this is like watching a 12th graders first green-screen course. Sure, it's interesting to watch a lengthy chase scene over some rooftops, but COME ON! They're jumping over lakes and hopping on 1 inch-thick branches! Now I'm not familiar with Chinese culture, so I don't know what "wu-dan" (or whatever it's called) is, so maybe the movie should have filled me in? Is this common knowledge now? Is (A)"wu-dan" a martial arts system that somehow allows people to become lighter than air? Is (B)the whole movie some kind of elaborate fantasy that isn't intended to obey the laws of physics? Is (C)this just a boring, cliche ridden martial arts movie with no creative storyline or characters?
My guess is (C)
