Summary: Sword fighting arty film
Firstly readin what keeyung said made a lot of sense, read her blurb!!

The much antcipated re duel of Donnie yen and Jet li was a great disappointment!! But this movie is not about the fight scenes!!

Visually stunning, the movie really reminds me of a arty film, only because there is not much dialogue.

The story itself is quite interesting. I heard the real story behind the movie was that SKY gave his life/head for Nameless so Nameless could get near to the Emperor to kill him but was discovered and killed by his soldiers. Tony Leung's and MAggie Cheungs character are made up (well this is what my friend said)

Anyway i did enjoy watching this movie with it's plot twists but it will inevitably be compared to Crouching Tiger, HIdden Dragon. It's hard to compare but the latter is better in my eyes

7/10
Reviewer Score: 7
