(read more) fortunately and unfortunately I know mandarin. The movie was great and its message came through but they really could have tried to find somewhat of a better cast, not all of them fit in very well speaking good mandarin and in the language the film required. Chang Chen and Michelle Yeoh were not the greatest choices of casting in my opinion, but they did their job well through the combat.
I think this is the most faraway adventure than "Dora the Explorer" in my AC08 collection.
I should see it again. I don't remember it that well, except that I didn't get the ending and I thought the action was cheesy looking.
By far the most overrated movie of the previous decade. It's just another wire-fu flick from a decidedly substandard director.
