the direction by wong be perhaps the all time bad in film history i have ever see . this film make my all time bad film of 2000 and dungeon and dragon by courtney soloman look like an oscar winner . the flaw in this movie be beyond explanation . the big one be the lack of depth . every scene do not develop fully a if the editing room doesn not know how to do their job correctly . it a shame that with such an all star cast of talent and a famous popular traditional story can be destroy by this lack of vision . i be so disgusted and hope that some great director like john woo or ang lee and decide to remake this film and do some justice . i be not even sure if i can rate negative .
