Great story, worth keeping
| The story is great, and the visuals were fantastic! It's a keeper! The acting was very credible, and the kung fu sequences were graceful and well executed. Not a dull moment. The protagonists made a great looking couple. |

Crystal Liu Yifei is a beautiful Dragon Girl
Crystal Liu Yifei is a beautiful Dragon Girl
| Be careful as other versions of this DVD boxset that are cheaper actually has scenes cut! The more expensive version put out by Tai Seng will have a different cover art that says UNCUT version. This new version has spectacular scenery, costumes, and fight scenes. The character development and dialogue however was better in the 83 version so it's recommended to watch that to understand the backgrounds and full stories of some of the minor characters. The highlight to this movie without a doubt is Liu Yifei. She is absolutely stunning as Dragon Girl. I find myself fast forwarding fight scenes just to see more of her and Yang Guo. All the scenes with them together are extremely dramatic, almost to the point of making you cry. You'll recognize alot of the music from this series from Inuyasha and other soundtracks. The english subs are pretty decent too. The one biggest disappointment will come all the way at the ending as you'll find it ends very abruptly but other than that, definitely worth the purchase to own this version of part 2 of the Condor Heroes Trilogy. |

A must See
A must See
| This turned out to be my top most faviorate show of all time. It's has great effects and a beautiful story. Infact one of the most touching stories I have seen. However the reason I didn't give it a perfect score is simply because of the subtitles. The english subtitles are good but not great. They are not... perfect, out of 100% the english subtitles get 75% because it is almost like broken english or just not great grammer. However you get the point of what they are trying to say and thats all that really matters. I recommend this to anyone who is NOT picky about perfect subtitles. But would enjoy a great story. |

Better than the first
Better than the first
| Viewing both The Return of the Condor Hero and the newer version, thumbs up, 5 stars for the newer version. Unlike Jack, I liked that there was more emotional outburst from the leading male star. It makes it that much more heart tugging. I have watched this TV series several times and don't believe I will ever tire watching it. |

Huge Disappointment
Huge Disappointment

Having read the novel many times and loved the classic 83 version, I was hoping this will be an updated version of the story. It was a HUGE let down. CAST: Let's start with Yang Guo. The kid Yang Guo is so annoying and unwatchable I wanted to fast foward most of his parts. He also had no resemblance to the older Yang Guo. The older version isn't much better. Casting someone with pop star looks isn't a good way to choose your lead actor. He overacts and loses all the subtle playfulness of Yang Guo, instead, he hits us over the head with a brick to try to get his character across with emotional outbursts everytime he's on the screen. He is also unwatchable until he reunites with Xiao Long Nu, the first time they came out of the Passionless Valley, from then on he doesn't spazz out until he sees Xiao Long Nu again 16 years later. I also hated how he treated all the women he encounters, instead of playful flirting he seemed more like a scumbag with a pocketful of condoms. Xiao Long Nu by Liu Yu Fei was much better than Yang Guo. Physically she's very pure looking and in that sense fits the role. However I felt she lacked strength... Just because you can put eye drops in your eyes to make yourself cry doesn't mean you should everytime you see Yang Guo. The rest of the casts are overall passable. Guo Jing seemed a bit weak and unsure compared to how he appeared to be in the novel. Huang Rong was ok, could be a bit more clever and more of a smirk on her face. Jinlun Fawang felt a bit too playful for someone of his stature. Two characters stood out to me though among the supporting cast: Guo Fu and Li Mo Cho. The actress that played Guo Fu was so pretty that I thought she overpowered some of the scenes. Li Mo Cho was one that I thought that did a very good job of acting. Story: Stayed fairly true to the novel, which is a great relief. Action: some good fighting scenes... but too much cutting/special effects that took away the real action. And what's up with all the Dragon Ball style fighting? People floating in the middle of air for no reason... Sets and locations: Pretty damn good job here, big part of the reason to do an update. My only complain is Ancient Tomb looks funny as hell. A house on a stick in the middle of an underground lake. The only exit is to fly through the hole on the ceiling? Special effects: Hated the special effects. Especially when it involves the kung fu. It made this series look like cheesy low budget chinese deity legends than a wusha story... why are there swords made of flower flying when Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu are trying to master the Maiden Finesse? The umbrella fighting scene between Li Mo Cho and Xialongnu was a good idea but poorly executed... The list goes on and on. A lot of the special effects hurt the story more than they helped it. Overall I find the acting just ok. But with Yang Guo horrible and had no chemistry with Xialongnu, you can't save the series with great location, sets and decent supporting cast. The special effects were more of a distraction than help. Sky Dragon Eight Parts didn't have this much special effects but was much more effective... The director over-dramatized a lot of the dialogue and scenes. He should of trusted in the story more and let that be the back bone of the series, instead we are treated to emotional outbursts and bad special effects for this ambitious but not quite meeting the expectation tv series. |

Aside from "Eternity: A Chinese Ghost Story" with Barbie Hsu and Daniel Chan, "Condor Hero" has to be one of the BEST series in the history of Asian entertainment--- Every bit deserving of a big fat A grade. Although the graphics could've been better in terms of looking real, it's hard to judge such a superb piece on that alone. Huang and Liu both carried out their roles flawlessly. Such a duo are hard to find in any series today so kudos to the director. Most entertaining and heartfelt, this is truly a must see series!! |

Loved it!
Loved it!
| This series was very good. Huang and Liu did a good job of portraying their characters by not over doing it. The director did a good job filming most if not all the fight sequences - looked like the characters are dancing rather than fighting. The only complaint I have is the little kid who plays the younger version of Huang. He didn't do a good job of demonstrating his free spirit. It came across as annoying and whinning. |

| Truthfully the Condor Hero epic has been redone and redone, that each time would seem hard to create anything new. The cast of Huang Xiao Ming and Liu Yi Fei was as strong as it can get. The show itself really took off when Yuan Guo grew up, thus if you know this story already, just skip past the childhood Yuan Guo. Every scene with H.X.M and L.Y.F together was just goegeous. The scenery itself is captivating. The music is haunting and fits perfectly. Some of the side casts are strong in their own ways. Though of course it is questionable some of the rewriting of this story, especially in the novel it self, L.Y.F is not suppose to ever cry because every time she cries, she is suppose loose years off her power. But the tears she shedded in the show was just so beautiful. This definitely gives a different feel to the Andy Lau and Idy Chan's R.O.C.H but both are great in its own format. The Louis koo one should never even be discussed among the series of R.O.C.H. This is definitely one of the top remakes of classics in recent years. |
