Legend of the Black Scorpion

With Hamlet as its backdrop, the movie tells a compelling story with all the vibrant and diverse visuals you would expect from a big budget Chinese epic accompanied by solid performances by the cast and headliner Ziyi Zhang. Of course, the English sub is more or less laughable so be prepared for some reading if you want to enjoy your viewing.

I came for the wuxia fight scenes, I stayed for the Shakespearean tragedy with the right level of theatricality featuring lavish sets and some strong acting. The few fight scenes that are in the film are beautiful choreographed.

This is one of those big budget Chinese films with flying monks (CTHD, Hero, etc.), except it focuses on visuals and drama rather than on martial arts. It is one of the lesser known films in this style, but it is fantastic.

very very shallow and full of bulshit

The visuals are very nice but I'm afraid it just didn't grip me.
