Summary: EXCELLENT!!
Due to the review below me i had to update my review because it is a chinese comic and NOT a japanese manga this is based on. And currently i am collecting the comics

This is currently my favourite movie!!

I KNOW, first viewing you go, "AH HA..."
But the more you watch it, the better it gets!! I continue to watch it and became drawn into there world!! The more you watch the more you understand the characters and even find out about the little plot twists that you may have missed first time viewing

I guess i love this genre so i am a bit bias to this movie!! Since it is based on a comic, i guess the question would be how similar is it to the movie?

WEll Frost is more than just a minor character and does not have the persona of being less than the main characters. In fact he is there big brother and treated so.

The fathers of the main characters are portrayed differently than the movie. I could go on forever (i got no idea where they got the monk (Roy Cheung) character from!!) so i better stop

While the movie itself could in no way in 2.5 hours entail the whole series which in english is 87 volumnes (each volumne has about 120 pages) i beleive it has done a good job with it's time.

I know this is not the PERFECT movie but the action and general storyline is good enough for me!! The special effects are EXCELLENT!!

This is a like a live action manga coming to life!!

Easily i give this:

9.5/10
