Romance from the big road, or how Lo Wei mastered 3D. What can I say here... Lo Wei is at his best, which in a few years he managed to turn into the worst. Full of flying people, completely and completely unbalanced final boss, who, as usual, cannot be knocked down even by a trio of heroes, before throwing antagonists aki child throws toys around the room. Even a script with a very questionable intrigue on the spot (seriously, from what lemon coconuts did Wei begin to so actively approve of Lang Ku's scripts, if it was worth throwing this grief writer out of the cold for the "Killer Meteor"? Well, to his credit, he didn't really fuck up here, and thanks for that.
The narrative pace is made on the principle of "from big to small", that is, if the first half looks alive and interesting, then the curve of interest slowly begins to peck at the nose, and even as usual filigree set fights (which were prevented by the notorious effect of "flying people") this curve will no longer raise, and Wei himself apparently did not strive for this - for he learned that a marvellous divo "tride" flourishes in the overseas lands, which he took on his arms, adding to the format of the dubious "fly" Gongregier in the first film "Dregier" .
But if you even superficially know the history of three-dimensionality in cinema and imagine in which tapes this technology was used in the 70-80s (and these were mainly horror films and, um, erotic - and what you wanted, the highest-grossing three-dimensional film for a long time remained "Stewardess", which has one title can say a lot), then you will see why the notorious 3D was used here: it is not "expanding and deepening the picture to give visual depth" and even not just "throwning effective shit in the screen" - here in "LG" this shit. Not five minutes pass without someone poking at the screen with a hand, a sword, a spear, a trident, even a jug of wine. Even the "killer bells" moment, for that matter.
But despite the prevalence of the three-dimensional effect, I cannot say that the actors here only had to pompously poke their fist at the camera. The characters are different in combat styles and characters, but what is most surprising is that almost no one beats the best / worst traditions of opera. And yes, Jackie here again will not give much fun, but here it can be endured - at least to the "Drunk Master" by hand, which means that you can still compare with the supostats power under a very good soundtrack (no, I'm not now about expropriated from "Star Wars" audio tracks, I'm about the title theme that would be suitable for some Western).
