08/10/2017 The characters are engaging, though the pacing is slow and the action is pretty anticlimactic. More or less a fun film. See more 07/31/2017 The obnoxious emphasis on 3D of this film made me really one to give up watching several times, but its sincere adherence to Gu Long's original characters and writing style helped me to stay until the end. The cheap 3D effects of this film only highlight Derek Yee's disappointing negligence about settings and cinematography. Thankfully, Gu Long's spirit of "jianghu", of Chinese-style unrequited love, of existentialist heroism was kept intact with beautifully-built characters, slow pace of choreography, and simple plot. Of course, this film is far from a decent adaptation of Gu Long's novels, but at least it is watchable - a feat that has become more and more difficult of the modern Hong Kong cinema.

A perfection execution of story that adequately told every characters side without wasting the viewers time See more 06/12/2017 Forget the haters; the Kung Fu film snobs hung up on the past. This movie has heart. Colorful and romantic share the table with fable and martial arts. See more 05/16/2017 Visually delightful. Great action. See more 04/30/2017 Only the opening scene is not bad.
