Another solid martial arts film but with special effects and based on a comic book. Probably the best adaptation of a comic book I have ever seen. Kills Spiderman and the rest of them because American fight scenes are just CG and not believable but this, this is where it's at. Of course they used CG and wires but they actually used the real actors and had a bad ass villain. The back story is quite in depth with two brothers being separated at an early age. It is a very enjoyable film with fights that make you want to see more. (Sadly, most of the lead actors, minus Donnie Yen are dramatic actors) It does get a little cartoony at certain times with the villain but it's based on a comic so that is expected. All in all I would give this film a solid 7.5 out of 10.
