Review of True Legend (2010) by Daniel D — 22 Jan 2011

I don't think I've ever been more pleasantly surprised with a film than I am right now with Yuen Woo Ping's True Legend. IT has all of the heart, energy, life, and excitement as the glory days of martial arts cinema; it is a beautiful treat for the eyes and ears; and it has some amazing action utilizing Vincent Zhou's natural prowess and Woo Ping's uncanny ability to add force and power to his choreography.

While Zhou may not be the best actor in terms of dramatic work, he more than makes up for this shortcoming with his physical abilities; he is a true wonder to behold. Yuen Woo Ping hasn't directed a film in over a decade, and it seems as though he's used that time wisely, because True Legend is really something special.
