Not A Classic Remake, Just Another Chinese Action Flick
Average movie, almost nothing in common with original novel
First of all, if you have read the original Jin Yong novel and are expecting this movie to follow at least 60% of the plot, then don't, A LOT of things and premise have been modified although they retain the character names.
I came in for the producer Lu Yang, as a standalone movie, I think this can be watched as an average Chinese action flick, almost everything is average and to fill in your wuxia craving, and the only well known actor to me is Ray Lui of HK 80's wuxia camp.
Personally not recommended, the quality is farrr below Brotherhood of Blades by Lu Yang years ago, and it has almost nothing to do with the Jin Yong novel except borrowing the characters and background, but it's up to your own tastes.
