The greatest movie ever!

Highly Overrated But Still Good

brilliant actors, brilliant editing

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

...and I love it. Lots of special effects, and for a movie that's not made on mega budget, this movie really does great job of creating a fantasy masterpiece. I'm one of the guys who didn't understand the story at all, but this was still a great flick to watch. It's definitely up there in standards surpassing Bored of the Rings, and on par with movies like Harry Potter. Which is saying a lot for a movie again, made on a fraction of the budget of these international hits.One thing I really love about this movie is that it so stretches the envelope of adventure movie to come out of Hong Kong. The topic is exotic and original. Production quality is unlike anything seen coming out of HK for fantasy action movie, and acting is great.One of the best movies to come out of Hong Kong, this is the Infernal Affairs of Hong Kong fantasy movie, and I hope they'll continue working in this area, until they surpass Hollywood adventure movies.Just fantastic.

Watched this on DVD in original language with English subs. Either the subtitling was very poor or the actual dialog doesn't make much of story and give any character development. There are quite a few HK stars in this but the movie doesn't need their presence to make it better or worse. It's just bad. The bright and colorful scenes done in CG are attractive for the sheer colors and brilliance but it can get overwhelming before long. If anything this makes me think of a child's movie with its nonstop barrage of cg, fight scenes, and crap plot. I'm certain I grasped what took place in the film but the whole delivery of the story was rather lousy.

Another beautiful mess out of Hong Kong…."The Legend of Zu" is a beautiful film, no doubt about it. Colors explode onto the screen in nearly every frame and there are some extremely cool shots of our heroes flying about, battling flying skulls and waves of blood. The special effects are no Weta, but they're passable. There are some real fun scenes here, and some flashes of originality in the fight scenes. Unfortunately, what little story there is -- something about mystical clans uniting to defeat a demon named Insomnia -- is incoherent when not horribly clichéd. Does anyone *really* think our hero King Sky will stay dead after his burn-accident? Is anyone surprised when Ying rediscovers his prowess with a sword? So once again we're treated to a technically beautiful film, but one that's crippled by a confusing plot and poor characterization. I never could muster up even the slightest interest in the protagonists, and the villain bordered on the absurd. Watch "The Legend of Zu" for the amazing visuals, but if you're looking for a compelling story, check elsewhere.

This movie is really bad, trust me and don't waste your time or money on this, it not good even to just pass time because it takes a large amount of brain cells to remember all the ridicules plot.I very like the far-east cinema, i like Ang Lee, Takashi Miike, Takashi Kitano, Wong Kar-Wai, Kim Ki-Duk, etc., but this movie was just plain bad.Bad acting, ridicules plot, and a substantial amount of cheap effects. The plot of the movie is taking place in a fiction place called Zu mountain, which is like the Olympus but its for Japanese gods, one of the gods live on this mountain wants to kill all the others and take control over the world (aint it sound like power rangers or something like that), few of the gods resist and fighting him, and that is about what you can say about the plot all the rest is just cheap philosophy which doesn't make sense.
