Call me crazy, but I like the hyperactive direction of Tsui Hark. For some reason for this movie he has calmed down considerably. Is this a good thing? Well, judging from some reviewers it is. To me personally it is quite the opposite. Not once did I felt the joy as his older movies did provide. The movie takes itself too seriously. Of course this is done to enhance the mystery. Except that the ultimate mystery isn't that compelling to start with. And partly this is because of the fantasy elements that are used to explain certain things. The movie itself is entertaining enough but far from what one would expect. Especially when this movie lends itself to do the crazy stuff we are used to from Hark.
