This movie could've been a great movie, but... The build up, the expectations and impact of a great fight and action sequences, the romantic and suspenseful dialogue, the comedy that Sammo can bring... All falls flat. The brand new costumes, the bad hairstyles and horrible makeup... The movie is not horrible, but also not great. I have it 3 stars because the combination of all the mediocre with nothing great makes it less than average.

Good action and story , Overall its movie give a story act good Animation is wonderful act, actor samhung i love it. Nice movie.

Remaking the beloved story of "The Proud Wanderer aka The Swordsman" by Jin Yong is bound to attract comparison with the 1992 version starring Jet Li and Brigitte Lin Chin Hsia as the titular character "Dongfang Bubai aka The Invincible East"

Here, the actress Zhang Yuqi managed to portray the character well. The stoeyline focused on how the character became the Accidental Invincible East but secretly craving for genuine love and connection.

While the kungfu scenes are as usual heavily CGI-laden, it's not overly absurd. Overall, a decent remake of the classic story although this is made for web movie.

Well... Swordsman 1 & 2 This was just an Okay film rated 6 or 7 at most. My sentimental me gave it max 10.

The main character actually is a guy who had found divine technique, so great, he became a woman. He can use anything to fight, since he loves sewing, he just used needle and thread as weapon. I forgot who the real name was, they just call him(or her) Tong Fong Put Pai (Risen from East Unbeatable). The second character is the leading actor in this movie.

I had a crush for Lin Ching Hsia when they released those movie, and of course admired the young Jet Li. They're both phenomenal at the time.

In this current film, they pretty much just pretty. Particularly the boy was forgettable. They should have hired another 5 times wushu champion.

And of course they hired Samo Hung for whatever the role to get some more audience. I myself is not really a fan of him though, but old faces always welcome.

This is a full scale 1 to 1 remake of the original Swordsman 1 (5%) and 99% of the original Swordsmans 2 classic by Jet Li and Brigitte Lin

For those of you who hasnt read the novels and endure the full 50 plus episodes TV series, you'll be scratching your head as it's full of lore and characters from the classic Wuxia Novel Xiao Ao Jiang Hu (Smiling Proud Wanderer)

For westerner audience, imagine GOT 8 season all condensed into a 2 hour movie jumping right at the middle of the action. You'll get the gist of what I'm saying

It wasnt bad per-se, the main Female lead got an uncanny resemblance to Brigitte Lin in looks and mannerism. It's like a 2025 actress looking exactly like Katherine Hepburn. Something like that

The Male lead is laughable. No charisma, no acting range and he's a pale shadow of his predecessor Sam Hui and off course Jet Li. The rest of the cast is cardboard character which dont hold a candle to the original

Seen it in Cantonese and it was still a very sweet throwback and nostalgia to my favorite Wuxia movie. The fights are off course much better thanks to CGI but boy the Tsui Hark original doesnt age too bad in retrospect

Watch this if you like Xiao Ao Jiang Hu, or just watch it for a Wuxia fantasy fu, but it's a well worth 2 hour if you like these types of movie.
