Only 5 out of ten on votes? What are you people thinking? I am affraid maybe people or taking this movie too serious. Personally I think this is an awesome Comic book movie. While I am not sure what Chinese comic book feels like, this felt like a comic book. The Epic, Sometimes tragic birth of a super hero is prime comic stuff. While Yuen Biao is wasted in a small role This film has alot to offer Fantasy fans.

Hardcore Kung Fu fans will be bored but Wire Fu addicts will enjoy.
