“OK, this movie is no Lord of the Rings, or even Crouching Tiger.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo what? It might not be a masterpiece of world cinema, but itu0026#39;s rather fun.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe plot is cheesy (big plot holes as well) and the love story severely cliché, however the art design and sets are beautiful, the fights fun enough (though a bit puzzling), the leads are all appealing and there is melodrama and angst galore. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYeah, you could do better (Hero, House of Flying Daggers, Musa). But if star-crossed lovers, revenge and period movies are your thing, and you donu0026#39;t mind a few bits where the plot is confusing and/or over-the-top, you can do much worse than Bichunmoo.”
