4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Super Sweet January 30, 2013
By Sista Soldier
Format:Amazon Instant Video|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was a very sweet film, more than I expected. The imagery is really beautiful. It's a simple story told simply. It reminds me of the fairytales I read to by daughter. However, it is increadibly touching love story and pulled tears from both my husband and I. It was a pleasant surprise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Movie April 7, 2013
By Gregory Stevenson
Format:DVD
This was a great movie. I was truly surprised how good it was. There were some fantastical Kung Fu scenes, but the story was not soley about Kung Fu. As another reviewer said it was a re-telling of a legend. The film was visually stunning and rich. The character development was average but spoken reference to the main characters back stories helped fill in the gaps. one of the many things I loved about this film was its boldness of stepping into the realm of old asian cultural mythology and presenting it as a reality that all the characters in the film accepted as their reality. It was a cautionary tale of love between humans and demons, an exploration of the Jet Li's assumptions (as the head of a buddhist monastery), a demonstration of faith by the buddhist monks, and a beautiful but subtle revelation of layers of buddhist belief, which unfortunately will be missed by the average american viewer. All of this in a Jet Li Kung Fu movie! what could be better? I love this film and will buy it and rewatch it, which is very unusual for me to do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Love story... February 18, 2013
By Binh Huynh
Format:Amazon Instant Video|Amazon Verified Purchase
This movie is a combination of love story, kung fu, and art. It s not a pure kung fu art movie but in a love story side, please read words and you would see how beautiful it is.

I chose this movie because Jet Li is one of my favorite actors...
The whole movie was slow, and all the action came more at the end, then throughout the movie...
