i be chinese myself and this film be just embarrass . a film that rely so heavily on special effect and and yet the effect look like something that be make in the early 90 . one scene that stand out be the scene where the girl be fly a a kite for no apparent reason but to show how beautiful the film be and and sadly they fail at that attempt . it show how terrible and flaw the effect be . tell me you do not laugh when the guy be speed crawl or run through the 10000 bull . the set look like set literally . there no authenticity and what and when and and where be this story suppose to be take place . a fairytale land . it look half cartoon and half live action most of the time . the acting be laughable . performance do by nicholas tse be unintentionally funny . do we really need an evil villain that speak like a gay man and yet be pseudo straight that want to have sex with a woman . he act like he be in another movie and and perhaps it might be well if he just go on and make a movie of his own . cecilia cheung and all i remember from the film be her infamous line do you want to see what underneath . one dimensional character that be suppose to gain our sympathy and yet she fail to engage the audience to sympathize with her . i be not go to go into the other character and the guy in the black feather cape be terrible as well . this film be basically scene slap together hop to pass a art and but most of the artistic scene turn out to be hilariously funny . a film with no substance try to trick western viewer and but people be smart than they think .
