legend of zui remember well tsui hark original zu warrior make 18 year earlier . over one christmas and on a rare week when channel 4 in the uk show a week of hong kong movie and zu warrior be so grip for a very young viewer and his brother and so memorable and that it be etch into the memory of the now grow up sprog . in fact and i think the original zu warrior be one of the early film i saw a a kid that i can clearly recall the story line and action scene from . and the memory of see yuen biao and sammo hung and others in their classic prime . so when i saw this remake of zu warrior and there be a feeling of apprehension . could it beat the dreamy childhood memory i have of the original and or will it follow the road of other remake and die a death more horrible than the baddie and their broken neck you find in those kung fu movie . well the answer be i can not say . but that be because this isn not really a remake . the story ( and style ) be almost completely different . the legend of zu tell of the story of king sky and a lone warrior and whose master and dawn and declare her love for him but her life be take from her by a monster call insomnia . two hundred year later and insomnia return and dawn be reincarnate a enigma and and insomnia have return to destroy zu . meanwhile white eyebrow and red try and with the help of king sky and to stop insomnia . the plot isn not one full of twist and turn and but have enough detail in it to keep me interested . but i can see this film a one you either love or you hate . the film be very much about the special effect and with the majority of it involve several computer generate environment and much like the storm rider and a man call hero . but unlike the other two and this film be one which do not overdo the graphic and the whole thing be tasteful . nothing appear rush unlike hero . the background be complementary to the acting and not at all overpower the scene . the story also involve plenty of character and the intermingling of so many individual do make the film intriguing . it be possibly on the verge of too many cook and but generally each character have it part in the story . but some of the role appear to be extend cameo in my opinion and and i somehow be leave to slightly question the necessity of this . ekin cheng and louis koo play very central role in the film and but i couldn not say this film show their best performance . cecilia cheung appear to at least have mature in her acting and but it be still quite raw . kelly lin be the new revelation for me . despite her very short role and i have apologise and admit to ogle . overall and i have to say and do enjoy this film as much a i enjoy the original . give that both movie be make by the legendary tsui hark and the two film together be part of a chronicle show how film making in hong kong have change over two decade . and one beauty of that be the fact that you can not really compare the two film at all and as much a apple be apple and pear be pear . ultimately and both be thoroughly enjoyable film in their own right . and i be go back to reminisce by watch the original again . two to watch and but not compare .
