About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a romantic, mythic martial-arts adventure with soaring, gravity-defying action and big emotions; Not for you if you prefer grounded realism or nonstop pacing like Hero or House of Flying Daggers.
Pros: graceful, thrilling fight scenes; rich romantic drama; gorgeous locations | Cons: midsection slows down; heavy backstory dump; motivations can feel muddled
