Legends of the Condor Heroes: The Gallants

2025
★★★½

What to say about this ?

It's easy to find here and there part of what's great in Tsui Hark's filomgraphy, but unfortunatly the flaws are much more represented.

Hark is used to settle chaos as the main ingredient for greatness. However we only keep here the bad aspects of it. Too much exposition, too much characters, too much useless and ugly CGI, too much confusing editing.
As he did before, Hark uses the dubbings to change dialogues and add more and more exposition (one for the heart warming sequence is completly ruined by this).
The budget is confortable but the end product doesn't reflect it especially when you compare it to 7 Swords or the Dee movies.

I really liked both female caracters, they probably are the best the movie as to offer.
