a few years after the huge success of tiger and dragon such a flood of "historical" Chinese movies followed that i stopped watching after House of Flying Daggers and Hero. Somehow i decided to watch Detective Dee nevertheless and must say i do not regret this. it is quite an achievement in visuals, acting and story. watching the improvement of CGI one can only compare it to the bunch of mega-million Hollywood movies and see how shallow they usually are.
this movie has actually an intriguing storyline and i liked the quality of the production; it has some, i'd say - quirks, but they should be related to the fact that the movie was created by a different culture than Europeans, so we can't understand completely all the movie has to say and how it says it.
still - worth seeing!; congratulations to the makers of the movie
