Wow! This film is amazing!!
The martial arts are breathtaking, the story is captivating and the music is superb! This was the first foreign film I've seen in the cinema, and it didn't let me down.
If you haven't seen it then, I suggest you go watch it now!

If any of you have seen it, what do you think of it?

Is Jackie Chan in it?

Ratcat
I've only heard excellent reviews of this film. Way it was described to me was like a Matial Arts love story???

Raz
EJ, Jackie Chan isn't in this movie. Its not that kind of film i.e. not a comedy.

The film does have a slight love story to it, but thats not the main plotline. Check out IMDb, they've given it a 8.9/10, and its currently #19 of the best films ever! us.imdb.com/Title?0190332

Do they dub this film in the UK or is there subtitles?
In Norway all foreign films have subtitles, which is good.
Be kind of odd if Darth Vader spoke some stupid Norwegian dialect.

queeq
The same here in Holland. Much unlike our German neighbours, right UBH? What DOES Vader sound like in German? laughing out loud

What the movie about, finti?

God, I REALLY want to see this film!!! The man who choreographed the fights was the same guy who did the fights for The Matrix, so I'm sure I'd enjoy watching them. The love story sounds interesting too. It's only playing at selected cinemas so I'll have to go down to the centre of London or something if I want to see it.

I dont know what its about, martial art love story in Chinese. Titanic goes kung fu!! sick

Check out this review from Film Review Magazine.

When they say "jaw-dropping martial arts" they aren't kidding!
The martial arts in the Matrix are nothing compared to this.

Nick Gillard could learn a thing or two from this film! Wouldn't it be great if he could incorporate the double sword moves (by Shu Lien) into double lightsaber fights?

......so has anyone gone to see it? What do you think of it?

BTW if you're going to watch it soon, then don't read the synopsis of the film before you go!!!

Why have I not seen any trailers for this movie?...hmmmm. I talked to someone yesterday who told me the basic storyline...now I have to go see it..Sounds wonderful.

It`s opening in Norway tomorrow, and the critics praized it in todays paper. Maybe I`ll catch it Monday ,got the day off.

queeq
It's opening here next week. The first reviews are excellent, even though they have not gone into the story yet. The real reviews have yet too come. They're all saying The Matrix is nothing compared to this one when it comes to the fight scenes.

I didnt enjoy Matrix that much, nice efeects and stuff, but to weird for my taste. I think I`m gonna watch Dune the tv series.
*watch out Paul Attreides Im a freman*
Well at least I got blue eyes. smile

Darth Daft
If the fights in this do indeed make the fights in the Matrix look dull then I'm going to be wetting myself with excitement when I watch this. Ahem...

queeq
The fights and effects were the only good thing from The Matrix.

Is the new Dune series available on DVD? I'd love to see it.

I think they are on DVD, and the serie is much better than the film(david Lynch 1984).
