Bai she chuan shuo (2011)
Not for martial arts fans
I'm a big Jet Li fan and I have to say that this is just very disappointing on all fronts. Giving this 4/10 is being generous.
This is a very childish fantasy story with poor plot and dialogue and vulgar CGI effects. I'm not against fantasy in martial arts but this should probably have been a PG rating. At least this would have given some indication of the level we're aiming at here. A randomly picked episode of Monkey would contain a better execution of fantasy, martial arts, character development and (for my money) special effects... and that was made in the late 70's.
The love story was probably the most successful part of this movie. You have been warned - Here be CGI Snakes!
