Review of The One-Armed Swordsman

I see all these glowing reviews with 8, 9, 10 stars, and I'm utterly baffled. This movie was 2 hours of a 5-line story with practically zero martial arts. It's a tedious snoozer. I've seen plenty SB kung-fu movies, so I'm not simply out of my element. Does this want to be a serious drama or a martial arts movie? The script/story says it wants to be a serious drama, the directing/execution says it wants to be a martial arts movie. It fails as both, nothing works.
