There were some really nice fight sequences, and some really colourful spectacle. I really enjoyed the visuals.
I watched this on amazon prime and they only seemed to have a dubbed copy available, which is unfortunate, cause the English dubbing on martial arts film is always dreadful. Everyone talked like 1930s actors, which made it very difficult to take anyone seriously.
It was pretty draggy at times. I thought at one point, wow, this is a really long movie, only to discover that it is 90 minutes, (The right length!) and that I was 1 hour and 22 minutes in. This could have been an hour instead.
There were some theological inconsistancies that I think were supposed to be a large part of the plot, but fell a bit flat. We can put some of that blame on the dubbing I'm sure.
