This is another stunning, wonderful movie, full of exciting, exhilarating scenes, but with too much drama for its own good. Apart from the plot, too much Chinese for my tastes, the visuals are fantastic, probably a little worse than Hero, but still great for our occidental eyes. This time the emphasis is more on the sound than on the colors, as the lead female character is a blind one and still is able to fight better than any mortal may hope. And the quality of the battle scenes, aided by too generous CGI effects, especially the one inside the bamboo forest and the last one during a snowstorm, are as great as the better ones from Hero. To see at all cost
