    [Highly rated reviewer]

    You've seen this movie a number of times, it sticks to the formula like most genre films. But with little action. It's a real soppy love story that is unbearable most of the time. You've probably seen better versions of this movie. Avoid. The little martial arts action is good, but so little that by missing this movie you miss virtually nothing anyway.

  • Loved it!

    Rated - 4.5 stars

    Loved this movie but the description is deceptive and actually very unlike the story line. What it ACTUALLY is is an Asian version of Romeo and Juliet. Despite the few well-made action scenes, this is a romance movie that shouldn't be missed.

    More of a cliched love story than a martial arts film.

    The fight scenes are few and far between and not very good.

    I have no idea why it's called 'Assassin's Blade', no character in it is an assassin.

  • I dare you not to love this one

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By RhodWindsor (12 reviews) from London , 16 Sep 2011
    Another heartbreaker! Beautifully photographed and, while a little bit schmaltzy now and again, it is still a great story of love and the barriers you have to overcome.

  • Great acting, shame about the on screen chemistry

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By a customer from London , 02 Mar 2011
    I admire both Chun Wu and Charlene choi, as they have both achieved so much and a young age. The fighting scenes were great, but there could be more, the love story was well done (not too soppy), but there was practically no chemistry between the two main actors. Compare to the Taiwanese version of Hanazakari no Kimitachi e where Chun Wu has a similar role (girl went to boy school to chase after boy, boy found out girl really is a girl, they fell in love), there was so much more chemistry between them. Ge Hu have protraited someone with a torn personality well, and I think the scenary and the CGI were both amazing.

    One other thing should be mentioned - Harlem Yu was great in this movie.

  • Quiet sweet but a bit irritating

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By a customer from Hethersett, Norwich, Norfolk , 06 Jan 2011
    I did watch to the end of this film and found it to be quite a sweet story but got a bit irritated a few times. Acting was quite good, story was quite good. I would be disappointed if I forgot I'd watched it and accidentally ordered it again.
