Started watching this first partner after watching the original Kung Fu Cult Master movie starring Jet Li. First thing first, I felt that the synopsis given to this movie was a bit misleading, since this movie didn't quite continue off from the 1993 movie, but a full remake which covered more or less the same amount of plot of the original movie.

While it's understandable that this movie wouldn't quite be an exact remake of the original 1993 movie but still based on the last arc of Jinyong's Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy, I can't help feeling bothered at how some of the important scenes were completely changed in this one; like the circumstances of Zhang Cuishan's and Yan So-so's death was different and how Mo-Kei's was hurt from the Jinx palm, as well as how Mo-Kei's life had been prior to learning the Great Solar skill and leaving Wudang. Had this movie just mention that this would just be yet another adaptation of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre, I probably wouldn't be too harsh on this movie's critique... but since it claimed to be a continuation of the 1993's Kung Fu Cult Master I couldn't help feeling duped somehow. Otherwise you can just enjoy this movie as another adaptation of HSaDS novel.
