An Empress And The Warriors (product link) Martial Arts / Drama This wasn't very entertaining, low on action. It has a good action scene and some beautiful shots, but that couldn't save this one. I'm sorry, I wanted to like it so much, but that will not happen, even if I see it two or a three times. I hope Donnie and Tung stick to martial arts movies in the future.
AGREE?

I agree with your review, I gave the movie a half star. It's just a messy movie.
Heroes Among Heroes (product link) Martial Arts / Drama This is not Donnie Yen's best movie but has some nice fighting scenes for die-hard fans like me. The humor is kind of cheesy at times, as in so many of these older HK movies, but overall it is a Donnie/Wo-Ping project and that means nice fighting for sure. I would only recommend this to die-hard fans of the genre, actors and director.
Three Kingdoms: Resurrection Of The Dragon (product link) Drama / Historical Overall this is a good movie, but not great. I think it's too slow at times and it's too short too. I would reccomend seeing "Warlords" instead, but if you are a die-hard fan of this genre you won't be totally disappointed.
The Blade (product link) Swordplay/Sword(s) / Action/Adventure This is an awesome swordplay movie that is both cruel and beautiful. It's a remake of the classic "The One Armed Swordsman" from 1967. Both written and directed by Tsui Hark with Chiu Man Cheuk--who I thought would be the next big superstar of martial arts movies, but he went from movies to TV which kinda' sucks because I think he is a great martial artist and a good screen fighter.
SEE THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY.
Flash Point (product link) Action/Adventure / Martial Arts This is one hell of an action movie. Donnie Yen has adapted the mixed martial arts way of fighting in this movie and he makes it look awesome on screen. I really hope Yen keeps on doin' it. The first time he did it was in "SPL" and I loved that movie too.
Iron Monkey [1993] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This is one of the greatest martial arts movies of all times. It is a must-have in my collection and I really recommend it to all martial arts movie fans worldwide. A Donnie yen, Yuen Wo-Ping, Tsui Hark project that is all SUCCESS and won't be seen again in any movie, I believe. GET IT.
Fighter In The Wind (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This is a really great movie out of Korea. It has good drama, beautiful surroundings and great fighting, so this is a must in my collection and I would recommend it to any Asian movie fan in the world.
Drunken Master 2 (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Wow, this is one of Jackie Chan's best movies. Good fighting scenes with a great end scene. Get it.
Fist Of Legend (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Jet Li kicks ass in this movie and it is one of the greatest martial arts movies alongside "Iron Monkey" and "Tai Chi Master".
