Seven Swords. by Tsui Hark. Final Trailer Download in Cantonese or Mandarin.

Wasn't sure what to think of this when I saw the last trailer but this final one has raised my expectations quite a bit. Looking forward to it.

An amazing looking trailer i await on pins and needles for the final release

Great trailer, I see a preview a few week ago and I hope this could be one of the best works for Tsui Hark.

AICN just posted what is supposed to be the first English-language review of the movie (though it's translated from a French review). It's pretty positive overall, with just a few minor caveats... click here.

"la musique signée du japonais Kenji Kawai (compositeur attitré de Mamoru Oshii pour Ghost in the Shell, Innocence ou Avalon) est un véritable désastre, handicapant souvent le film, notamment dans les séquences d'action et d'émotion"

Uh oh...bad music. But then again, bad music from Kawai Kenji? Is that even possible?

I just caught this film in Hong Kong last night (I'm an American here) and the film was what you would ask for when looking for a beautifully-rich film of martial arts characters in a GOOD martial arts film. I've always felt like martial arts films are like Chinese food- it's either really good or really bad and this is up there with Iron Monkey. Cinematography is breath-taking and wonderfully abstract at times; there is a good amount of chemistry among characters; fight scenes are pretty hot and keep you entertained and wanting more. There's originality in here with the plot and the chemistry between lovers is pretty believable. The only drawback is there could be more character development, but howmuch you can fit into 2 hours? By and far, go see the film. You won't be disappointed.

I suppose Kim So-Yeon was dubbed (although she shot a few TV dramas in China, and should have a working knowledge of Chinese by now). How's her acting?
