Is it the same director who did Crouching tiger, Hero, and House of Flying Daggers? If so, I'm definately NOT going to see it. I hated this director. He makes everything too pretty that made the movies sucked. There are too much western "feels" to his movies that totally take away all the authencity of the movie. But a lot of people who never saw a Chinese kung fu movie will love them because it's pretty. I'm sorry, but all three of them were boring as hell to me.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was directed by Ang Lee, Hero and House of Flying Daggers was directed by Yimou Zhang.
As for the reference to 'too much western feel', I presume you are referring to actually having a storyline?

(And yes, I like HK kung-fu movies as well)
