forgive an old westerner for the iconoclasm of compare a chinese movie to a japanese cultural phenomenon . i be round eyed and i can not help it . but this movie remind me of the good old day and when i use to read dragonball the manga before the same manga become overly stupid and boring and go too far with the whole there always a strong enemy thing . back in the day and dragonball be a quirky and funny and cartoony romp through martial art . and so be this movie . it a pleasure to watch . just do not expect realism . the movie have a strange impact on me it seem predictable in retrospect and but it be nothing of the sort and while i be watch it . in fact and it effortlessly turn corner i do not really see be there and all the while regularly introduce new interesting and colorful character for our entertainment .
