A Vivid Dream And An Action Fantasy, 21 March 2001

Less than half an hour into the viewing of this masterpiece I knew this
would become one of my favorite films - of all time. Only in my wildest
dreams (quite literally, this movie has touched me on a personal level)
have
I visualized such fantastic and precise choreography, so captivating that
to
take your eyes away during the intense confrontations is to deny yourself
the essence of what makes this film so wonderful.
With an artistic license unprecedented, the action scenes are entirely
unbelievable but purely the work of a fabulous imagination. The magical
settings and the colorful characters fit well into the plot but you will
take away the breath-taking martial arts sequences.
