Last night I have watched the film 14 blades starred by Donnie Yen at home. Actually, I planned to watch it when it came to the cinema. However, at that time, I have to travel abroad and found out after my return that it had gone.After I finished the film, I was quite disappointed with the movie. It's not as exciting as Ip Man1 &2, which Donnie Yen also starred. Furthermore, the wuxia elements in the film were much lesser than I expected. In particular, Supernatural attack moves existed, but were little and not spectacular. There were also uses of annoying camera moves, and storyline was very simple.
From my opinion, after the coming of certain successful wuxia films (such as Storm Riders 1 , Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and Zhang Yimou's movie), the wuxia films and series became seriously misled. They started to focus more on the use of computer graphics instead of fight choreographies and swordplay. Instead of making fight scenes fast and furious, they decided to make it slower, attempting to make it graceful like Zhang Yimou's movies. Lots of wuxia elements such as qigong and martial factions became ignored. That make things screwed up for me. (There's one exception. The film Kung Fu Hustle by Stehpen Chow was vey good. Even though the setting took place in modern age, and its genre is comedy, but it had all elements of good wuxia movie)
Anyway, I am still waiting for the day that the actual quality wuxia film return to the industry.
