There's just no need for stories that have been already told in a simpler and fresher way in 30 years of kungfu movie. This is not an action movie because the action is scarce and mediocre (there's should be a rule setting a minimum of martial arts, in terms of quantity and quality, in a martial arts movie). Is not an historical movie. It's not a kungfu movie, because the martial art scenes are nothing special. The movie is slow, with excesses of drama and floods of fake dark blood. The plot is unreal. The cameo of Jacky Chan slowly turning into a second Sammo Hung has been seen hundreds of times in hundreds of movies and has noting to do with the rest of the movie. With gems like Ip Man around, there's no one single reason to waste time on this pure nonsense. A boring melodrama, with poor action and an excess of histrionics.
