zu representthe warrior from magic mountain be and be an impressive classic . you never would have guess it be make in 1983. tsui hark use of special effect be very creative and inventive . ( he continue do this in the chinese ghost story trilogy and late production . ) even now it can measure up to other movie in this genre . legend of zu be connect to zuwarriors from magic mountain . it be not necessary to have see this movie to understand the plot of this one . the plot be a bit hard to follow . but to be honest it doesn not matter . it be all about the action and adventure . i always be wonder what tsui hark would do if he get his hand on cgi . now we know and he make this movie . maybe it sometimes be too much but the overall result be so beautiful that i be not go to be critical about that . there be so much happen on the screen and you simply would not believe . i think it be a big shame that this movie wasn not show in theater here in holland . because this movie be scream for screen time in cinema . this movie easily can beat big budget hollywood production like superman return or xmen 3. the only thing i do have to mention be the lack of humor . in most of tsui harks movie he combine drama and fantasy and martial art and humor . somehow it be miss in this movie . again i be not go to be picky about these small matter . legend of zu delivers on the action front with the most beautiful special effect you will see . a true classic .
