A Great Tale

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2003)

I just watched this movie last night, and I have to say it is one of the best kung-fu/martial arts films I have seen in a while. The sense of scope that the director portrays in some portions of the film are on par with that of Akira Kurosawa's.
The inevitable comparisons with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon will come, but for me I cannot really compare the two films...Visually this film is stunning, the fight scenes cunningly done, and the way the director fleshes the story out is just awesome.
I seriously recommend this film for anyone who liked CTHD and wants another film of the same caliber (because, too few are out there..)..
