A 1:1 Remake of the original

This is a full scale 1 to 1 remake of the original Swordsman 1 (5%) and 99% of the original Swordsmans 2 classic by Jet Li and Brigitte LinFor those of you who hasnt read the novels and endure the full 50 plus episodes TV series, you'll be scratching your head as it's full of lore and characters from the classic Wuxia Novel Xiao Ao Jiang Hu (Smiling Proud Wanderer)For westerner audience, imagine GOT 8 season all condensed into a 2 hour movie jumping right at the middle of the action. You'll get the gist of what I'm sayingIt wasnt bad per-se, the main Female lead got an uncanny resemblance to Brigitte Lin in looks and mannerism. It's like a 2025 actress looking exactly like Katherine Hepburn. Something like thatThe Male lead is laughable. No charisma, no acting range and he's a pale shadow of his predecessor Sam Hui and off course Jet Li. The rest of the cast is cardboard character which dont hold a candle to the originalSeen it in Cantonese and it was still a very sweet throwback and nostalgia to my favorite Wuxia movie. The fights are off course much better thanks to CGI but boy the Tsui Hark original doesnt age too bad in retrospectWatch this if you like Xiao Ao Jiang Hu, or just watch it for a Wuxia fantasy fu, but it's a well worth 2 hour if you like these types of movie.

A decent remake of classic story

Remaking the beloved story of "The Proud Wanderer aka The Swordsman" by Jin Yong is bound to attract comparison with the 1992 version starring Jet Li and Brigitte Lin Chin Hsia as the titular character "Dongfang Bubai aka The Invincible East"Here, the actress Zhang Yuqi managed to portray the character well. The stoeyline focused on how the character became the Accidental Invincible East but secretly craving for genuine love and connection.While the kungfu scenes are as usual heavily CGI-laden, it's not overly absurd. Overall, a decent remake of the classic story although this is made for web movie.
