Great flick for asian cinema or Jet Li fans

Verified Purchase:Yes
I am a huge fan of both Asian cinema in general and of Jet Li, so this was pretty much an instant buy for me. The cinemetography and special effects are spectacular and the story is very imaginitive. The film is roughly a 50/50 mix of action set against elaborate set pieces and actual story/character development, so if you are looking for just straight up martial arts action this may not be your ticket. That being said, the film is definitely a visual feast from start to finish and most of the actors turn in solid performances, Jet Li in particular. There are a few "quirky" characters that seem to be there more for comic relief, but that seems to be a staple in many of these types of films. If I would ciriticize anything, I would have preferred a slightly more serious tone throughout given the overall themes of human vs. demon conflict and the forbidden love story, but at the end of the day it was an enjoyable and highly imaginitive film that is worth viewing.

What's great about it: great action, fantastic cinemetography, unique story
What's not so great: The story is a tad convoluted, but if you are a fan of Chinese mythology it should entertain
I would recommend this to a friend!
