    Who liked/disliked it...and why?

    I enjoyed it immensely, the scenes with the dialogue between nameless and the Qin king are excelent along with the 'fight' scene on the surface of the serene lake.

    Often compared to CTHD, I think they are both good films of equal merit with mesmerizing cinematography and exquisitely choreographed fight scenes.

    As a subscriber to the general mythology surrouding MA in general I enjoyed the flying, although I realise for many people (especially those not into MA) this aspect of both films can be a bit "problematic" for them...lol...

    I have on other sites been inundated with questions about where I got my copy in the UK (no Theatrical or DVD release pending - STILL!) so before anyone asks me I bought the R3 version from CD-WOW! about six Months ago for only £10.99 it has mandarin dialogue with English subtitles only (no dub).

    That film kicked ass! It was sooo much better than it's dreadfully overrated prequel-in-spirit Crouching Tiger, Hidden Baboon. Most beautiful film I have ever seen and with a lot of drama and an unpredicatble story. I didn't like the wire-fu, but hey, it's a Jet Li film.

    I must say I enjoyed it immensly, Jet Li's fight with Donnie Yen was spectacular (right up till the point where the craptacular CGI work kicked in)

    I can't wait to see the uncut 120mins version, it's meant to be out on mainland China DVD next month.
