I recently saw the movie and I enjoyed it. The fight scenes were pretty awesome and the movie looked pretty (for lack of a better word) but I think the plot and character development could have been done better. We were given a number of fascinating characters (like the White Witch) but we really weren't given much information about them (like the White Witch). If you can't tell I was unhappy how the white witch was handled, she obviously had an interesting back story but by the end of the movie we had no information about her. Speaking of the end it seemed a little rushed. Like they were trying to meet some sort of deadline (which they probably were). It almost seemed like a cop out.

Now don't get me wrong, I still really liked the movie and would certainly watch it again but I would have preferred to have a longer wait for a better developed movie. What are your thoughts on it?

    I kind of heard the story was weak and she was just a cheesy character, but I haven't seen it myself. I love jackie chan though, so I will eventually see it.

      The story was weak but it had so much potential. It made me sad that they didn't take the time to make it better. And the witch's character could have been amazing. So much wasted inspiration. :(

      It breaks my heart.

        That's so sad. Oh well, at hopefully the action is good. And I heard that jet li has a really weird voice.

      If anything else it's pretty. Though I'd take some friends so that if you don't like the movie you can at least have some one to mock the movie with.
