Monkey is funky he never stops...
but this film is a great big flop. I rented this expecting another crouching tiger/hero/house of flying daggers but got something as cheesy 'Monkey' without meaning to and without the humour. The premise for the film was good if a little bit tired, a group of villagers need protecting from evil invaders, so why not hire the services of 7 sword wielding martial artists, each with a mystical blade. The idea that they must master their emotions to master the blades was an interesting development, but unfortunately one that was never really explored. In fact much of the film was only half pursued and consequently some scenes and characters seemed to be just thrown in for no realpurpose, and other scenes and characters went unexplored or unaswered. Reading around this film appears to have suffered greatly from being edited down from 4+hrs to 2hrs, well the editor must have been asleep on the job and you will probably be asleep well before the end. Do yourself a favour and hire 'The Water Margin' series on DVD instead....
