Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must see - lots of drama and martial arts plus a plot!!!Movie Review: Enjoy the movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Yes the other reviewers are correct. Its difficult to go into a lot of character development when you have 7 characters (not counting the bad guys) to fit into a two hour movie. It would have been nice to find out more about the bad guys also. And yes you have to "fill in the blanks" because it doesn't explain a lot but hey its not a four hour movie so they can only do so much. But you can also simply relax and just enjoy an action flix. It reminded me of the Magnificent 7 and 7 Samurai in that there are 7 of them coming to the aid of a 'helpless' village against the bad guys. If you like action/martial arts movies at least rent this one.
While its not the best action flix its not the worst neither. I certainly enjoyed it more than Crank (which I had high expectations for, hoping it would be as good as Transporter.)
I'd give it 3 1/2+ stars but bumped it up to 4 rather than down to 3 due to the extra features along with an uncut version (haven't viewed that just yet but did go through most of the interviews.)
I'm considering getting the Seven Swordsmen DVD box set which according to reviewers of that TV Series is a more detailed story about the individual characters.
Movie Review: AN EXCELLENT PERIOD FILM
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of the better period films that I have enjoyed recently. It involves all the things that made people love CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON and CURSE OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER and more than enough action to keep an action buff like me entertained. I think that when Asian directors try to stay true to their own history, legends and myths, it presents a special concern for them. They want the film to be as true as possible and still be recieved well be American audiences. I think this director pulled it off very well. I would highly recommend this film to anyone.
