This movie is pretty good, it certainly one of the best wuxia
movies released in recent years. The cinematography is top-notch,
and the action direction (by Lau Kar Leung who also plays Fu
Qingzhu in the film) is just superb. The duels here are gritty,
exciting, superbly executed and captured on film, and most of all
believable (no flying humans ala Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon).
The locations were great, and I loved the way the camera moves to
show to show the beautiful landscapes. Other eye candy also comes
in the form of Charlie Young, Korean actress Kim So Yeun, and
Chinese actress Zhang Jingchu. Overall, this is quite a
good-looking movie.
My gripe with this film is that certain scenes seemed a little
rushed, and certain plot points not very well explained. The
numerous instances of love-at-first-sight between the characters
were also where i felt where the movie began lose it.
But hey, if I were a damsel in distress, I guess I might also
instantly fall for Donnie Yen's heroic Chu Zhaonan. 
He is just so cool. And
his weapon, the You-Long (Dragon) Sword, must be coolest weapon
conceived since Bu Jing Yun's 'Jue Shi Hao Jian' in Feng Yun. The
other 6 swords are pretty interesting as well. Each has its own
strength and history. Check out the website for further details.

IMO, the movie is well worth the $9.50 ticket price I paid. So go
watch it!
