Query: Tsui Hark's masterpiece?

After reading several reviews for the movie, I was compelled to see what the hype was all about. Unfortunately, what others may perceive as Hark's masterpiece epic, I only see as a mediocre film. It seems as if Hark couldn't focus what he wanted the film to be. He took stabs at action, adventure, comedy, and romance, but unfortunatly failed to do a quality job on any of those aspects.If you're an action junkie and looking for a Jet Li martial arts flick, you better turn elsewhere. The few interesting fights are done well, but the film relies on a historical plot as it's backbone. For me, the storyline was sleep-inducing, but I suppose it depends on personal preference.Yuen Biao's comedic performance, and the battle during the end keep this movie above a 1-star rating. Admittingly, I'm not a big fan of Hark, but I'm no detractor of his either. This movie just failed to inspire any interest out of this disappointed viewer.
