Feng Yun Jue

I'm going to keep this review short and simple to give the reader insight about the anime .


General overview :
This anime ( movie ) is based on Manhua that goes by the name Feng Yun . Story is held in ancient China and is all about kung fu . So if someone is into watching kung fu or some good Majestic Martial arts , this is the anime . By Majestic martial art , i mean martial arts that involve super natural abilities and Ki ( Qui ) energy .

Story : 7
Story development is just fine . It is good enough to ... make the non busy viewer stick to seat and complete the movie . It have some very good fight scenes and little bit of romance .

Art : 9
Art is just great .You can observe the movement of clothes due to wind , light effects during fight ( fights are flashy ) . Scenic beauty is amazing.
Everything is detailed .

Sound : 7
Language of the original movie is not Japanese ( I'm not sure if it's Korean or Chinese ) , so otaku's might find it difficult to watch it . Sound effects are good . It have great sound for everything it shows , example movement of water , air , Kung fu background music . What it lacks is music that feels and touches the heart !!!

Character : 8
Main characters are very cool looking . Characters have sense of honor and are little series type .

Overall : 7

I would actually give it 7.5 rating .Movie is enjoyable if you are looking for Adventure , Martial arts , expect anything else , it will be in your dropped list .

This movie is like a moving painting depicting Chinese martial arts in a fantastical way.
It has some of the most beautifully choreographed fight scenes I have ever seen, and investing about 99 minutes to get to see them is well woth it, in my opinion.
The story is mainly there to let you enjoy the visuals, and it can seem stressed at times, as if they didn´t have time to tell it properly because of all the awesomeness they crammed into those circa 99 minutes, and that may not be to your liking.
Still, if you give it a chance, I would not be surprised ... if you in ten years time still can visualize two men fighting with fishing rods, and wonder how one of them went from handling his rod to playing Erhu music in an instant, and I bet it will be a fond memory.
