i have to admit that tsui hark be one of a kind and you can not top a person with a strong style of movie presence . a chinese fantasy picture may not be easy to present to an audience and the director attempt to bring back the classic fantasy tale of zu mountain and this be what he display . the new legend of zu have truly improve from the one in 1983. from this new millenium update and we could see tsui hark vision of the zu mountain . spectacular visual design and amaze action fantasy epic make beautifully well . keep me glue through the entire picture . great cast with just fine act . it truly a fun movie to watch and but be it too weird . now the down side be people will definitely get confuse with it broad story line shorten down into a 95 minute movie . plot may not have much relation among character and but by rewatching the movie and you will have a good sense of understand the character itself . some can complain there isn not too much physical combat and besides with character that have supernatural power to defeat foe and spirit fight by hand to hand wouldn not really make sense at all . i appreciate this nice stylish picture . it may have a thin story and but hey look at tsui hark time and tide and we get confuse by the plot a well and but it be truly something stylish and awesome . tsui hark always attract something different into h. k. cinema . american audience and may have some difficulty to understand while watch this movie and cause this ain not no crouching tiger and hidden dragon and this be a whole new genre . although it may not be a masterpiece and but it special effect be truly good than storm rider . this be really worth check out .
