Negative Positive
Title: could have been a 3 with 1 or 2 more action sequences.
Review: The movie starts off very well. It has the stock music that also plays in ninja checkmate and is very nicely applied here. There is a woman at the beginning who looks very good with a sword. She obviously has a double for a lot of these sequences, but when they show her face she looks pretty good. Then we meet lo lieh and along with a couple other good actors, I thought this looked pretty good. But there needs to be a story. If this was not kung fu, it would be fine. But it seems as cheap as any fu movie I have ever seen. And the fighting is not choreographed very well at all. I never felt excitement. So I somehow made it through this(fastforwarding over 20 minutes). And there is a great dramatic battle sequence at the end. I wish things leadign up to this would have been somewhat enjoyable so I may have felt something for the characters. The actress playing lo lieh's daughter was good, but no storyline and really no acting, this movie sucks.
Is the review positive or negative?
