It's a huge Tsui Hark production with breathtaking sceneries set in
Xinjiang.
In summary, Seven Swords refer to the erm... Seven Swords (OK, I
know this sounds stupid! 
) that was forged by Master
Shadow-Glow, a hermit who is a master of swords and who has four
disciples with 'unimaginable swordsmanship' (translation: here's
where you get a lot of oooh-aaaah swordplay and wireworks!
).
Each of the Seven Swords has awesome names - The Heaven's Fall, The
Dragon, The Deity, The Unlearnt, The Star-Chasers, The Transience,
and The Celestial Beam.
Each of these swords are legendary. For instance, to cast The
Heaven's Fall, a hundred swords were melted. OooooOOoooohhh!!
*chuckles
I daresay, the swords will fast become collectibles. I, for one,
wouldn't mind hunting for a miniature set of these seven swords.
So, this movie is set in the 1600's, when the Manchurians
established their dynasty in China. Martial Arts became outlawed
but there's this group of renegade martial arts practitioners who
violently oppose the govt and they are putting up a kickass kung-fu
resistance against the PAP... oops, sorry, wrong setting , I meant to say, the govt. 
So, lots of fighting involved, I presume, with the Seven Swords
being used a lot, I guess. There's a traitor in their midst, and an
unexpected love triangle too. My guess is, the love triangle would
most likely involve Yang YunChong (Leon Lai), Wu Yuen Ying (Charlie
Yeung), and Green Pearl (Kim So Yeun). Just a guess, see how
predictable the movie is!
Dunno about you but everytime I watch legendary martial arts
movies, I get very excited one! It's like, they go, 'hee-har!' and
'shing-shing' with their swords and fly here, leap there, all that,
then they mutter a string of words like 'Lu Lai Shen Zhang!' (echo:
zhang...zhang... zhang... zhang...) or 'Zui Quan' or some other
mumbo-jumbo like 'Monkey Taking a Piss' or 'Stork Alighting From
Sky' what-not and then do a Vogue pose. Then, the audience goes
'Whooooooaaaaaaahhhh!!!'
So, this afternoon, IF I manage to DRAG myself outta my boudoir, I
shall head on down to catch 'Seven Swords'!
