I watch a fair amount of Asian cinema so I've seen a lot. This movie really stands out! First of all the quality and quantity of special effects are very good. The interaction between the main characters, the mix of dark story lines, and the humor suburb. Overall the underlying story is interesting and compelling.
It's great fantasy fun! I'm surprised this movie doesn't have a higher rating and appears to have had not much of a presence here in America. It's too bad they just didn't market it enough for a Western audience. A lot of people will probably just bump into this movie late at night at one time or another and be pleasantly surprised.
If you like action movies, epic fantasy stories, etc., you are probably going to love this movie.
