Mystical kung fu with extravagant costumes on beautifully decorated sets, with slow-mo and and wire work to heighten the action, much in the vein of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The formula is getting old.
Ziyi Zhang is a treat, and the kung fu is decent. But the story is lame, romance is cheesy, music is melodramatic, and the dialogue is cliché.
