Too slow, too mystical, too stupid.

Rating: 2/10 (22 January 2004)

If you expect another "Crouching Tiger" you are completely wrong. This movie is more about oriental fables than about lineal stories with excellent action moments.
Sometimes, its rhythm is too slow (and I'm not that kind of guy who needs frantic Hollywood tempo). Well, if they wanted to make a serious philosophy film, they shouldn't have choose actors as Jet Li (good for action, not believable in this movie), or use so exaggerated martial arts dancing movements and flights that keep your attention out. Some short stories are being narrated and I was counting the minutes for the film to finish over. I was quite disappointed when I saw it, and it didn't worth MY time to see. I'm not saying it's bad movie, but there's something for sure, and it's that I didn't get the point.
