Review: This movie has excellent visuals, both in scenery and in sword play. The scenery adds to the fantasy nature of this story, yet most of the colors in this film tends towards dark blue, this gives a sad charm. One thing that we noticed that the story had a similarity to Romeo and Juliette in the sense that these are both outcasts lovers who will give up everything to be together. They did well in adapting this simple tale of forbidden love into a story of kung fu and swordplay.

The characters were well acted and credible but there was a little too many characters in the picture which took away the attention from the main characters. In that sense you don't really get the feeling of getting to know the heroes of the story. The first part of the movie is the best after that it begins to fade a little but in the final scene it catches up. The fights were quick and bloody with some great swordplay from the part of the actors.

If you like fantasy kung fu movies you'll enjoy this one. A word of warning, our version was distributed by Universal Laser and the subtitles were small and very hard to read.
