Legendary Hong Kong action coordinator Yuen Wo Ping (the man behind the fight scenes in The Matrix) directs a martial arts film. Essentially a Wu Xia version of Robin Hood, this comes with a broad slapstick hand but is worth watching for Yuen's amazing combat scenes

Rating: ★
Mar 13, 2016Flying Swordsmen Fantasy
A massive letdown of the year. A sequel that brings back several of the original cast and gives it to Yuen Wo-Ping to direct but is merely slickly paced, uninspired action that substitutes CGI for the graceful wirework of the original

One welcomes a collaboration between Tsui Hark, the godfather of Hong Kong fantasy cinema, and Yuen Wo Ping, fight choreographer for The Matrix and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon but the the results are oddly disappointing, with Yuen’s talents seeming buried under the CGI
