This movie is truly boring. It was banned in Chinese cinema and i can see why. It's not because it's critical of the communist regime but simply because the movie is of such low quality. I would never want to pay money to watch this. I love movies from Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou and i am disappointed such a poor movie could come out of China. It totally seems to ignore the audience and the director seems to have made the movie for himself. The shots of a person standing there doing nothing for up to a minute are hilarious and there's plenty of them. The cinematography and video quality are unbelievably bad. I looked this film up on the Net and it seems like people actually like this film. The only explanation i have for this is that some film buffs think that if a film is not in English it is automatically good. I can't see any reason why people would like this. this is not an art film it's of waste of celluloid.(That's if they actually shot it on film , which they didn't)

I saw this movie in China on my holiday, and it was one of the crappiest movies i have ever seen. The American distributor said They,ve found a new "crouching tiger", which is just so lame. The performances are terrible especially from the two leads, cheung and Cheng who are renowned for their "woodenness" and are only in show biz because of thier looks. There was no plot and the whole movie was a bunch of ugly computer generated graphics glued together. What the hell did yuen wo-ping do in this movie? Legend of zu is a reputation breker. The film is also guilty of putting in big name stars to get more bums on seats, Zhang ziyi gets 10 minutes in the film and is totally irrelevant. Western viewers wanting more zhang mania will be disappointed. Chinese viewers will be extremely pleased (She is NOT popular in China.)

I am a big fan of Jackie Chan but i thought that this movie was very flat from beginning to end. The action sequences weren't that good for Jackie chan's standards and it just wasn't funny. I generally like Chan's late 80's Hong Konng flicks. His American " Odd couple " movies were fun for a while eg" Shanghai Noon, Rush Hour ". There starting to become pretty unoriginal.
