YesAsia Editorial Description
Legendary Hong Kong filmmaker Tsui Hark finally returns to the big screen with his epic wuxia adventure, Seven Swords. The story is based on the acclaimed novel Seven Swordsmen From Mountain Tian by Liang Yu Sheng, creator of such classic tales as The Bride With White Hair.
Set in China in the 1600s, Seven Swords tells the story of a country ravaged by violence. The Manchurians have taken over the throne and established the Ching Dynasty. The people are rising up all over the country in attempts to overpower their new rulers, but with little success. The government has imposed a nation-wide ban on the practice of all martial arts, in an attempt to maintain law and order throughout the land.
The evil general Fire Wind (Sun Hong Lei) seeks to profit from this situation by leading a squad of executioners through the country, killing anyone caught practicing martial arts, and collecting a bounty from the government for doing so. He heads directly for Martial Village, a small settlement that so far has managed to hold out against the Manchurians invading force, but has yet to encounter Fire Wind and his army.
Fu Qing Zhu (Lau Ka Leung, who also serves as the film's stunt coordinator) plays a retired executioner from the previous dynasty, who warns the villagers of the impending threat. Together with two young warriors, Wu Yian Yin (Charlie Yeung) and Han Zhi Bang (Lu Yi), Fu journeys to Mount Heaven to seek help from the great master of swords, Master Shadow Glow (Ma Jing Wu). Four of the master's finest disciples, played by Leon Lai, Donnie Yen, Duncan Chow and Tai Li Wu, are assigned to help the villagers, aided by awesome weapons forged by Master Shadow Glow. Together they become the Seven Swords and return to the village to confront Fire Wind...

Tsui Hark makes a stinker!
Tsui Hark makes a stinker!
| "Seven Swords" is a pretentious flop. Seldom has so much money been wasted on such a puny artistic vision. The script gives the actors little to do but pose; the viewer can't possibly care about such thinly drawn characters. The cinematography is overly arty, making a confusing hash out of the film's battle scenes. The music is a hackneyed distraction. And the heavy metal costuming of the bad guys is a comical cliche. This is truly atrocious film-making. |

Borderline stodgy
Borderline stodgy
| Tsui Hark's style has reverted to wanting to cram "as much material into the shortest time period possible" & that's not fair to those individuals who would actually like to understand what they are viewing. There are some nice shots whether it is a moment of character or plot development but those are quickly minimized by the super-sonic speed of the entire story. After a while you stop trying to comprehend & go into a pseudo-comatose state. Not that it's much of an improvement but the TV mini-series with Vincent Zhao provides slightly more insight in that the story & plodding pace is understandable. |

Not bad
|
I liked this movie. However, there are lots of obvious flaws. Firstly, there's not enough character development. You barely get to know the main characters since there are so many of them. Apart from Donnie, Leon and Charlie; the rest barely get any on screen time. Secondly, it's obvious that the movie has been edited where one scene suddenly skips to another. Overall, good fight scenes but the story kinda drags a little. Wonder if there's an uncut edition. |

Could have been better
Could have been better
| The movie is not bad just badly edited. Basically, Hark edited the movie to 2 and half hours from 4 hours. You will notice that some plot points are missing and makes you ask alot of questions. Its a long movie, but it moves really quick. These are really good characters, but they are all under-developed. Donnie Yen, the korean girl and some of the villains did a good job but the other actors will make you wonder why were they in the movie. Charlie Yeung character did not do anything relevant to the end of the movie. It could have been way better than this. I suggest the tv series. Its longer, somewhat better action and you get the whole plot and character development. The big bonus about the tv series is that you understand why certain people got the sword and Yunyan (spelled it wrong) is better as a dude. |
