Viewer Comments:A Touch Of Zen

An epic driven story from master director King Hu. The film has amazing visuals, an excellent score and a great story--though if you're expecting a kung fu martial arts adventure then you're in the wrong movie. The characters were vibrant and the set design was beautiful. I recommend this film to patient viewers only.
I don't get how this is considered a classic. It's way too long and extremely boring. The first action doesn't take place until an hour into the film! By then you just won't care. Skip this unless you suffer from insomnia--"A Touch of Zen" should take care of that.
"A Touch of Zen" is the ultimate kung fu epos with Hsu Feng in her greatest role. King Hu, the director, created a magic, mystical movie. The scenes in the bamboo forest are breathtaking and classic!
Nothing else to add, only: buy it, watch it!
More though provoking drama than action film. The length took from the overall film, but great story.
Kung-fu classic? Well I don't think so. This is so long and boring, I can't believe people actually like this film. Except for the sets, this movie is not worth wild. At all!
A non-martial arts film. More of a drama.
How does a Buddhist spiritual leader, one step from pure enlightenment, clash with the top fighter from the imperial court - and still keep to his Buddhist practice?
No one has handled this better than King Hu in 'A Touch of Zen' - and no one has, ever since.
If not for the length - King Hu either indulged himself, or edited the film to be released in two parts for the cinema - I would have given it five stars.
Still, the best kung-fu movie ending I have ever seen.
