A cinematic adaptation of one of my favourite

A cinematic adaptation of one of my favourite comic books, The Blood Sword - this FX filled fantasy has enough going for it, but there's just something about it that keeps me jumping between 3 and 4 stars. And I don't know why... At times I find it quite entertaining, and other times, not so much. If I'm honest, I have to say my main complaint would be the CGI - but not all of it. A Man Called Hero was the follow-up to Storm Riders (which suffers from the same problems) and back when they first came out, they were the dogs balls by HK standards. And now, with the fast growing and ever changing standards of CGI work, they seem a little out- dated. But hey, that's all I can really say bad about it..! CGI aside, A Man Called Hero is a pretty damn good show, made more enjoyable if you know the comic book and characters that go along with it. Director Andrew Lau has put together a strong cast which also included the big screen return of the superb Yuen Biao, and everyone does a pretty good job at what they do. The super cool Ekin Cheng plays Hero, while the handsome Nicholas Tse plays his son. The action is aplenty, although carefully spaced out, and even though it is sometimes hindered by the aforementioned CGI, it's handled pretty well and should keep most fight fans happy. The highlight of the action department is the fight on the Statue Of Liberty which really does, put X-Men to shame. Another great looking battle is the one between Francis Ng and Anthony Wong in the rain, which really looks like a fight scene straight from the pages of the comic. Check it out... You will enjoy it at least once, if only for Yuen Biao's appearance in traditional Peking Opera gear.

We've kept hold of our DVD of this

We've kept hold of our DVD of this because it just can't be found anywhere. We went through a stage of watching as much of this genre as possible and this has always stood out as being one of the best. Yes, some of the FX may look dated now but it's such a good watch it doesn't matter. Watch it, enjoy it, watch it again, then tell your friend to watch it.
