As I look some of the harsh reviews of Bichunmoo I am reminded of Something I heard David Goyer(screenwriter of the Blade films)say at a screenwriters conference. "Most people don't understand the millions of different ways a film can get screwed up. Most just don't understand what a miracle a good film really is".
When looking at a film like Bichunmoo I tend to notice things like the fact that it was a first time director. It was made with a large budget for a Korea but probably didn't match the catering budget of the matrix. Sure It is not slick like Hero,Musa or CTHD but if you are into fun fantasy Wuxia swordplay films why take it so seriously.
What ever faults I have they are off set by Awesome Wire-fu, beautiful visuals and a few moments of excellent cinematic emotional timing. Watch close When Jinha hears that his lover set to be married. It is a slick little moment.
The martial arts Goth attack squad also rules.The crossed swords on the back and the tribal design is a really cool look.
Don't be scared off by the bad reviews...at the same time don't take it too seriously.
