Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame

I started watching this movie since I had it on my laptop for a long time but never got around to watching it until a boring Saturday where I had nothing better to do. The story is rather unique and I surprisingly felt emphatic towards both the antagonist and the protagonist. The acting was superb, the music was alright. Overall it's a decent movie for a boring Saturday.

I hoped for Detective Dee to hit the foreign movie theatres where I live, but it didn't so I had to wait. It was worth it. I will admit I do enjoy Andy Lau. Rarely has he had a performance in a movie that I didn't find fantastic even if the movie was so-so. Detective Dee was like an ancient Chinese Sherlock Holmes surrounded by magic and the supernatural. The story was fairly original and anime like. I can easily see a movie series for the character. In fact I look forward to it. overall: 8.5

un film sympa

c'est une film qui se laisse regarder tranquillement. Les acteurs sont tous bons.
La production a beaucoup d'argent, j'ai vu une des plus belles coiffes historiques (sur l'impératrice), il y a beaucoup d'action et des belles bagarres. C'est un film idéal pour une soirée tranquille sans prise de tête .
C'est plus un film d'action qu'un film de détective.
