I really liked it and even though some parts had to be shorted or rushed to make it movie length, I barely noticed it. I just wanted more. It left it a opened ended on whether XiaoFan's village brother saw the same thing he saw or whether he would help him in some way by making him completely absent in the big fight scene. After all revenge was his strongest desire, losing in that tournament wasn't all that important since it made it clear, in the end, who potentially was involved in killing their families & their whole village. I was informed that this was the movie version of the series, The Legend of Chusen (青云志), and my enjoyment of this movie has now added that series to my "to watch list." The whole cast did a fantastic job! The visual effects were on point, stylish and classy. There bits of comedy on top of XiaoFan's (Xiao Zhan) sweet, endearing heart and innocence, priceless. If they make a 2nd movie, I'll definitely watch it. Heck, I'm looking forward to it. :)
