Zu Warriors
“Surrender Your Illusion, Fight For Your Destiny.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 67, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Immortal warriors, reincarnated lovers and a gathering supernatural threat collide across floating fantasy landscapes. Tsui Hark expands wuxia combat until it resembles an elaborate superhero cosmos. The digital imagery can overwhelm the emotional thread, but the scale of invention is hard to ignore.
