3.5*/5.0*

You have to wonder when this is going to stop. I'd love to get some kind of insight into the production of these films, and what kind of industry is churning them out with what goals. But sure enough, I do like a good fantasy/actioner from time to time, and these films are delivering in spades.

What it all boils down to is quite a bit of complicated fantasy lore, which is explored at a lightning-fast pace. Add some martial arts and fantasy action, some interesting bad guys, and a token brothel scene, and you have all the ingredients for a fun, condensed Chinese fantasy epic. It's no masterpiece, but I do appreciate these films a lot.
