I was pleasantly surprised by this...for some different reasons. I didn't see it in 3D, but that didn't detract from my enjoyment, I would have liked to see it in the theater though.
The opening scene was a bit over the top, flying logs and heros in fact it dampered my expectations for this film but in spite of that the film progressed nicely. You had Chinese ninjas with Jet Li, shadow organizations, the evil and cruel authorities, hot female sword slingers, duplicity...the den of thieves in an oasis, bar fights etc.
The fight scenes were well choreographed, lots of fun moves, especially with the use of a broad range of weapons, throwing knives, swords, bows, xbows, Kwan Doas, whips, sharpened circles etc.
As someone else mentioned it did have an "Indiana Jones-esq" feel to it...which enhanced my enjoyment of it.
Overall I give it 7.5 Bawangs out of 10.
