Has anybody seen The Sorcerer and the white snake? If so, is it any good?
I haven’t seen it yet myself. I might get it from DDDHouse next month but I’m more excited about seeing Flying Swords of Dragon Gate. However, I know one of the regular commenters here, Pingu305, said he thought ‘Sorcerer’ was a pretty good wuxia.
I hear its very “ehh” because its overloaded with CGI. If you’re into that, then I guess you’d enjoy it. Li himself was upset because he had to do more fighting than he signed up for and disliked all the CGI himself.
Humble thanks for your reply HKFanatic. I appreciate your reviews, and respect your efforts here.
Thanks a lot, ActionJackson. We’re a pretty tight-knit crew here at Cityonfire.com, as you can probably tell, so I do appreciate your comment.
I like it.give it 3.5 out of 5.a wire fu wuxia like the Chinese ghost story movies.don’t expect no contact kung fu.
I’m waiting for the American release.
You should mention that it’s not a sequel to The One. =p
Wow, the actor lineup for this sounds amazing! Jet is always fun to watch, but Collin Chou and Wu Jing too!? Two very underrated actors in this genre that deserve more recognition.
You changed the OUATIC poster to the right one. lol
Collin Chou has worked with Jet Li before, so nothing new there. I hated him in Kung Fu Cult Master. I think Wu Jing is the guy that never did any movies with Jet.
Yeah, it seems like there was a time when Wu Jing was being touted as ‘the next Jet Li,’ so it’s understandable why there were never in a film together. Yuen Woo-Ping even went so far as to spotlight him in the sequel to Jet Li’s “Tai Chi Master” AKA “Tai Chi II.” I believe that film was Wu Jing’s big debut.
But even with his martial arts talent, Wu Jing never really seemed to catch on as a big action star. Lately he’s been fun to watch in supporting roles like in “Sha Po Lang,” but the films where he is the leading man – “Fatal Contact,” “Legendary Assassin” – aren’t as compelling.
Jet and Wu Jing worked together in the third Mummy movie. Wu Jing plays an assassin fighting Jet briefly in one scene.
Good catch – I haven’t seen that movie.

The socerer and the white snake is a good movie overall. Just don’t expect a lot of fighting scenes or you will be disappointed. It was a huge hit in China because of the romantic scenes than the fighting scenes. Overall it is not Jet Ji best movie, but it stills a good one to watch if you have time to kill.

I’m dying to see a jet li movie on the big screen again..
Seems a bit Wong Jing-esque.
Not a sequel to The One; Looking forward to it, but I am partial to Donnie Yen!
Love that poster.
