It's suppose to be my most favorite Jet Lee's movie, if only the story didn't end with a cliffhanger >_<
There are also pretty much difference with the novel, also they skip some important characters and scenes. Which, is understandable...since, they tried to recap the long novel to a 90 minutes movie ^_~ It's too bad, though =(
For instance, there are no Purple Dragon and Yan Lee show up here. Chow Chi Yerk's characteristics also changed. Chiu Ming's three wishes are all different with the novel. And, lots of things changed in this adaptation, but again...I do understand why they change so much things ^_^
But, still...how much I luv this movie!!! One
of the reasons is that Jet Lee and Sharla Cheung are my MOST favorite actor
and actress!!^^ And, they play together in this movie! I have to say though,
that the plotline is poor =( Since, it looks like they want to rush it,
and not to mention they end it with a HEAVY cliffhanger with NO SEQUEL!!
Urggh!! I hate it! But, what makes me love this movie are the costumes
and the characters!! The costumes...well...not so much different with the
86 version^^ That's why I luv it, especially...Siu Ciu's pretzel hair!
It looks cute!!^_^
One of the reason why I love the
movie version so much, is how the actors and actresses did a magnificent
job in portraying the characters!!!
Captured Scenes
As for the effects...well, all I
can say is you can expect pretty good effects in this one!^^ And, the action
sequence are AMAZING!!!!^O^ Well.....you know, it's Jet Li....=P So, of
course!!
Chingmy Yau did a fine job as Siu
Ciu, she looks very cute, innocent and lovable.
But, too bad...Gigi Lai didn't do
such a good job in portraying Chow Chi Yerk, a (looks-like) saint, soft
and innocent girl, instead she portrayed her selfish and bitchy O_O
And, as for my favorite actor in
this one is.........................IT'S A TIE BETWEEN JET LEE AND SHARLA
CHEUNG!!!!!^O^
I definitely can't decide which
one's the best! At first, I thought this just because they're my fave actor
and actress....but, I think again, hard...I still can't decide! Wanna know
why?
Jet Lee did a superb job as Cheung
Mo Kei, because his innocent and funny expressions balancing with his serious
expressions! I just luv him! Not to mention, he IS a true martial artist!!
So, his action scenes are very amazing! While, Sharla Cheung also did a
fantastic effort in portraying Chiu Ming!! I mean, sharply beautiful, cunning,
intelligent!! She suceed in bringing out those characters together! I luv
her cunning expression and yet the way she talk also sound intelligent.
My most favorite scene is where
Mo Kei go back to the Green Willow Villa to get the antidote from Chiu
Ming. Here, an action sequence happen between Mo Kei and Chiu Ming, also
a little chemistry between them ^_~
You don't know how much it upsets
me, they don't make the sequel!!>_< I mean, it didn't get to the part
where Chiu Ming becomes good, and also sacrifice a lot for Mo Kei!! I know,
Sharla could do this act very good, if only they give her the opportunity
=(((((((
