Cinematography is superb; however . . .

Rating: 7/10 (1 January 2005)

How can anyone really enjoy a movie where martial artists do things that can't really be done?! Like flying thru the air for 50 yards (or whatever) . . . walking on air, climbing on air, walking on water, fighting on water, etc. I thought the story was also kinda dumb. About the only thing that makes this film worthwhile is the cinematography (which is why the 7). I put this DVD up for sale at Amazon right after I watched it. I was very impressed with Jet Li in the Lethal Weapon 4 . . . but most of what I saw in this film was way too hokey! When I see a martial arts movie (aside from Kill Bill, which was deliberately like a comic book) I want to see something that can actually be done, in real life, by real people.
