Lots of good kung fu, with some minimal but entertaining wire work, andI must say the settings are soooo beautiful. This is a historical film, and the scenes in the towns and the countryside are wonderful, but laid back. Not shouting Look At This Beautiful Village Recreated and Look At These Beautiful Costumes, but just beautiful in a matter-of-fact way. So much better looking than the "art house" movies from China that I see...
