The Yinyang Master

I was impressed by the opening of the movie and captivated by the special effects. The movie seems like Alice in Wonderland mixed with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The special effects are really high end, and this coming from a Chinese movie which doesn't have a better plot.

If the plot wouldn't have been predictable and filled with deus ex machina, then it would have been closer to perfection. There are still plenty of moments where the movie shines. In some ways, the plot has bits and pieces of other movies, but that might be coincidental. The middle seemed rushed, but my favorite scenes were in the beginning with the battle in the road, and then at the end with the battle between human and demons.

Hollowood couldn't have done better, in fact, if they would have made this movie it would have sucked. Instead, the Chinese film makers produced a refreshing and delightful 113 minutes production.
