The marketing claim it's the best fighting show produced in the last 10 years. I sort of agree.

Not a good movie.
A martial arts movie should be be about martial arts. However this movie is too much a nationalist fantasy.
Turning a unremarkable martial artist into a patriotic national hero just makes me sick.

You are right, he was quite unremarkable.

i agree but it still entertains most of us.
Some of the martial arts movies from China can't shake off the patriotism and their anti-japanese/foreigner vibes.
Huo Juan Jia and True Legend (Su Qi-er) are other examples.
