it's a fun movie
First off, don't begin watching this movie with high expectations; if you heard the plot was ludricous then you heard right. However, this movie is just a fun, popcorn-eating, Sunday afternoon flick. Every movie can't be excessivly good, otherwise there would be no point for the Oscars. The atmosphere is fantastic; from the settings to the lighting. The fight scenes are just as they are adverstise; hong kong meets western, and nothing more. And to those who play up the fact that these scenes are inept, wake up---they're supposed to be mindless fun...nothing more....just watch it.No, this movie is not anything like Rob Roy...the two are complete opposites; one was a serious drama and the other is a fun action piece; they shouldn't even be compared to eachother. Now if you are watchin these movie because you liked the book, then you will be dissapointed. However, the novels storyline only provides a backdrop the "new" story and the action, so don't get mad if it doesn't follow the novel because it's not supposed to. (If ya want a good Dumas movie go rent the new Monte Cristo with Guy Pearce). Just to pound the fact in more....if ya take this as a fun movie you will enjoy it.
