Fun movieWho wouldn't want to see a
Siskoid
Flying Swords of Dragon Gate is China's first 3D movie, and it shows. Elements are too often coming at the camera, or obviously separated from the background plate. In general, the effects are overdone and not completely realistic. Director Tsui Hark has gotten better at it since the effects-laden Zu Warriors, but I find him closer here to Double Team than the superlative Seven Swords. Not to say the film doesn't have some good qualities. There are some great roles for actresses, many of which steal the show right out from under Jet Li's feet. There's a nice "special appearance" by Gordon Liu (as was remarked by my KFF club, ALL Gordon Liu appearances are special). And there's a nice mix of drama, comedy and action as the heroes go up against an evil bunch of eunuchs. Flying Swords, like a lot of modern Chinese films, I find, has an over-convoluted plot and could have jettisoned one or two subplots for clarity. It's fun eye candy, but far from the director's best.hanncoolman
