I saw it on Friday, and I was impressed. I had seen reviews from people who had seen the original Chinese release that ranged from stunning to highly overated, so I didn't know what to expect. The visuals were stunning, telling a story all by themselves. I didn't think the story was quite as strong as Crouching Tiger, but only because they didn't spend as much time developing the characters. It was nice to see alot of familiar faces from some of my other favorite Chinese cinema giving strong performances, just wish Donnie Yen could have been in it a bit longer. All in all, an awesome flick for those who love genre.
