Firstly, I thought I had already reveiwed this, but don't know what happened to it. But I shall sum up again what I think.

Finally, the long awaiting remake of the classic 1983 movie, Zu. There has been many rumours over the years about this being done, and finally it has. "A visually stunning movie" is what I can best say about this. The special effects were used perfectly I think, unlike some others in 2001 like 'Shaolin Soccer' which used special effects too much and for no real purpose. But this is different, Tsui Hark has done wonders with his team on this, to create it's own world.

Tsui Hark had approached Brigitte Lin in person on several occations asking her (and rumoured to almost beg her) to appear in this even though she had retired. But she turned him down, and I guess from that, it pretty much proves that when she said she was retiring, she was serious. But still, even without her, it's great. One of the best films Hong Kong has to offer in 2001.

The legend continues...
