About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a big, comic-book-style martial-arts fantasy with magic, bold costumes, and lots of effects-driven battles, similar to A Man Called Hero; Not for you if you need clear plotting and grounded action.
Pros: flashy special effects; epic fantasy scope; entertaining set pieces | Cons: confusing story at times; uneven acting and tone; effects over fighting
