So that left a bad impression of the movie on me. Also, I believe I was right there with you on the over-predictability of the twist, and that often sets movies down a few notches with me, as well.<BR/><BR/>However, now that I'm older, I might attempt this one again and see what I think.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092564511948736386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-1997736496736722642008-08-12T07:35:00.000-07:002008-08-12T07:35:00.000-07:00I thought this was a great movie.

That first martial art...I really enjoy this movie. That first martial arts sequence in the rain is just glorious.<BR/><BR/>But the really great thing about this movie is the willingness to combine martial arts epic, period drama, and intentionally bad monster movie. I think your examples are well chosen, as I'm pretty sure the Village must have been intentionally bad.Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14215810599956933532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-11694203744850502332008-08-11T04:04:00.000-07:002008-08-11T04:04:00.000-07:00I love this flick.
