Jin Yong's wuxia novel Demi Gods And The Semi Devil was published way back in 1963. Many tv series and movies already adapted this great novel. So what's new about this movie?!
First of all, we got Donnie Yen. His stunt actions is unquestionable. Stellar casts also adorned the movie. From veteran such as Kara Hui and Ray Lui to new bright stars such as Chen Yu Qi as Ah Zhu and Zhao Hua Wei as Duan Yu. And last but not least, the story itself has depth plot and vivid characters to explore. Of course, 2 hours long movie couldn't capture all of the stories, so this movie focused on Qiao Feng (Donnie Yen) storylines.
If you already read the novel or movie/series adaptation, then you'll know how the story goes. But if you are new to this, then you'll have to know that this movie only covers the first 1/3 of the novel. Hopefully, the producers will make second and third installments soon enough for us to see next year
Trivia: 18 Dragon Subduing Palms that was Qiao Feng's powerful stance, also appeared on Dragon And Tiger Gates (2006) used by Dragon Wong, also played by Donnie Yen
Must See 9/10.
