I encourage you to see this movie but not for the reasons you think. Although this movie was probably meant to be serious, it's really one of the funniest movies my family and I have seen. That's because it was so poorly made. I'm sorry to those involved in making the movie if I'm hurting your feelings but this film looks like a high school project. The acting, the script, the sets are so corny it's hard to believe this film was taken seriously. I think the funniest thing is the guy wearing sunglasses in a time period meant to be hundreds of years ago. After we watched this movie on DVD we were cracking up so much wondering how this film actually got distributed. Then, the icing on the cake was that they had special features... interviews on how the movie was made...etc. I know this review sounds mean but I couldn't resist. Just the same,I hope all involved in the film have gone on to better things...but this film is really bad. For those that haven't seen it, I encourage you to watch it so that you'll have a frame of reference for a really bad movie.

While the production values are not terribly bad, EVERYTHING ELSE IS. The lead is reasonably attractive but is a pretty poor actress overall, performances by the rest of the cast are laughable, worse than community college theater (which is probably where they were found). But the worst aspect of this movie by far are the story and script which happen to be the most contrived and clichéd that I have EVER had the misfortune of enduring.This is the sort of tripe I expect from low-budget Saturday morning cartoons created solely to sell action figures. The fight scene choreography was mediocre and very poorly filmed. The laziest community college hack could have come up with a better storyline than this mind-numbingly boring and insultingly trite tale of an airhead and pure-hearted warrior girl who undergoes a craptacular quest of clichéd craposity to learn about love, destiny and her one dimensional self. Seriously, this movie is more shallow then a puddle in the sahara, and more predictable and unimaginative than a bologna sandwich on white bread with mayo.Please do yourself and the rest of the world a favor by not renting, watching or coming within 10 feet of this movie. Do not watch it because you expect a movie so bad that its funny. Its not, trust me. It is just cringe inducingly bad all around. This is fair review of this movie and it rightly deserves only 1 star.If you enjoyed this movie, you are probably under the age of 14 and have never seen a martial arts movie prior to this one.

Frankly, when the movie ended I thought to myself: hum, let's check for episode 2!!! Since there is no real beginning to the story, and it doesn't really end either, I thought this was like a TV series pilot or a mini series!! The actors are not all that bad, although the main character can't act! Very cute though!! Ah well, if you like a movie with a strong script that actually does have an ending and a story, then this movie is not for you! LOL! Sometimes it's okay if there are some good fights, or lots of martial art action! But you won't see this either. No beautiful scenery or great camera work, no great actors...looks like made for TV I'm telling you!!!

The most Taoist of film sense Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! For those versed in the martial arts, both internal and external, this movie captures all the the best of the arts. Very little WIRE-FU and rich in philosophy I vote to add this movie to my collection.The Heroin Siku is taught the way of Taiji and Kung Fu. She must master herself before confronting others. Like the way of water she becomes fluid and free. The movie takes the art of WUJI, emptiness to an whole new level.Focus on the relationships between middle path (father) Yin, silent warrior, and Yang (Killer) to best understand the hidden meaning.
