Member masterofoneinchpunch Posted October 28, 2010 Member Share Posted October 28, 2010 Not particularly good. I do wonder if the four-hour print would save the story but current storyline annoyed me when I watched it several years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Athena Posted October 28, 2010 Member Share Posted October 28, 2010 I LOVE , LOVE the "Seven Swords Descend from Mount Heaven" Wuxia novel by Liang Yusheng that the movie is based on !! I have defiantly read it MORE than 7 times ! But I DISLIKE ,DISLIKE the movie 7 Swords, it didn't work at all ... I actually liked the whole TV series 7 Swordsmen much more, probably watched the whole thing at least 7 times ... It is hard when you truly know a story word for word before watching an adaption... I think you tend to then either love it or hate it .. Xiexie, Athena ..♥ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Space Posted October 28, 2010 Member Share Posted October 28, 2010 Neither myself nor my room mate, who has an incredibly high tolerance for bad movies, could finish watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member massa_yoda Posted October 28, 2010 Member Share Posted October 28, 2010 I'm in the "love it" column. After doing research on the original "Seven Swords Descend from Mount Heaven" i actually had a greater appreciation for the film, knowing what comes afterwards. It helped the film feel more complete. It also helped me notice the forshadowing with Donnie Yen's character. I loved the swords too, as well as the action finale. I actually wanted a sequel. I'm sure they would have learned from their mistakes and made a much more fluent sequel if given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yang Wu Liang Posted October 29, 2010 Member Share Posted October 29, 2010 I quite like the film but agree with Athena, the TV series is more rewarding. That girl in red in Athena's picture is particularly good. (can't remember her name off hand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted October 29, 2010 Member Share Posted October 29, 2010 That is Ada Choi, I agree she is amazing in the series. I also like the series a lot more than the movie. The movie has a few things better, like Pai Paio, Chi Kuan Chun and the main bad guy (Ray Lui plays the role well in the series, but I like the bad guy in the movie better), and, it is a beautiful movie to look at. But with the series you have Gai Chun Wa in a great role (should have been a bigger role), Vincent Zhao blows away Donnie Yen's performance, and while I love seeing Lau Kar Leung in any role, Yue Sing Wai did a much better job.

Member Yang Wu Liang Posted October 29, 2010 Member Share Posted October 29, 2010 Yeah, that's her Morgoth. I haven't seen it for a long while but you're right Vincent Zhao was good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member sen_pai Posted October 29, 2010 Member Share Posted October 29, 2010 I thought it was crap. Boring, talk too much, and wasn't that much good fighting. I don't remember if Donnie Yen was in it? I'm a big fan of Donnie Yen, but this wasn't the movie that got me into him. It was still better than "Legend of Chen Zhen" I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Secret Executioner Posted December 4, 2014 Member Share Posted December 4, 2014 Feels long and a bit complicated at times. But it's not too bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Tex Killer Posted December 5, 2014 Member Share Posted December 5, 2014 I watched this maybe month ago. It was pretty looking movie but not really interesting story or great action. Neither was bad tho I would rate it as average. Easy to watch once without yawning but certainly movie not worth seeing again. By the way, same applies to burning paradisa by ringo lam. Almost everything is good there but main villain is so lame it kills interest to view again. I think did read decades ago he is not martial arts expert but painter and after seeing this flick I am pretty sure memory was correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Iron_Leopard Posted July 19, 2020 Author Member Share Posted July 19, 2020 I'm feeling nostalgic for this movie right now. Might have to pop it in the dvd player soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
