It was absolutely amazing. Loved it from the beginning to the end. Def one of my top 10 fav movies.
Fantasy, period-piece Kung Fu movie; not the best, but I enjoyed it no nonetheless.
Incredible block buster with a great story and excellent figth scenes. The CGI is kinda bad but blends pretty well in the visual context.
Boring and bloated with too much CG.
