I have seen many Tsui Hark movies, if not all, and many wuxia films, and a great deal of solid martial arts films. Believe me, this is by far one of the best. It's a highly artistic and spiritual wuxia film. However, the pacing, action choreography incredibly helped by the dizzing whirl of shaky camera and the editing. Moreover, the romantic entanglements rank among the most effectively and innovatively pulled off complex devices in the recent memory. Those who think otherwise probably are still not aware how far the world cinema can also go. They need to see more movies to see different alternatives. This is a movie some average Joe would definitely not fully comprehend and that's probably why i have to recommend this film to people who are interested in movies that can mainly deeply enlighten them and show them new dimensions and possibilities in the film magic. These people at least deserve to see this masterpiece.
To others, go back to pretentious Hero, Crouching piece of Hidden crap and House of Flying Elephants and continue to have as empty life as i'm sure you have. It's obvious that "Seven Swords" is way too good for you.
10/10 The only complaint i have: I wish i could give it more than ten!
score 10/10
