comments: bought this movie based on the cover. thought it might be similar to crouching tiger hidden dragon and hero. it definitely was. with lots of martial arts and flying in the sky. probably not the best of them but highly entertaining. my only problem was the occasional bits of comedy thrown into the fight scenes.
