One of the coolest movies I've seen in a long time.

Rating: Null/10 (16 September 2004)

First I have to say you have to suspend disbelief before you sit down. The movie is part fantasy and in a lot of Asian kung fu movies, flying around and running on water is the norm. Once you get over the fantastical aspect of the movie it becomes one of the most beautiful, well paced and simply the coolest movie ever made. The use of primary colors blue, yellow and red is truly awesome. The scenes are beautiful and the choreography in the swordfighting and martial arts is truly spectacular. You get into the movie and forget it's all English subtitles. I was surprised at how easily watchable this movie was and I am currently trying to get my hands on several of the Chinese DVDs so I can give it out to friends who haven't seen it. I'm not into "artsy" movies(I guess, since I haven't seen many of em), or at least it's definitely not mainstream but it definitely is a well done movie and I highly recommend it.
