    A period Korean martial arts film, this is a nice attempt at contributing to the flashy sword-play genre that I've known all my life to come streaming non-stop out of Asia. It's not a great film for story, but it's also not a case where the flashy sword-play completely overrides...( read more) the substance and story of the film. And it is Korean after all, so it's definitely worth a viewing : )

    I was especially taken with the movement of energy exhibited by some of the fighters. I've seen more and more of that in real life as I grow old, and I'm always curious about how realistically the ability to channel and manipulate qi/chi/ki is portrayed in films.

    The Legend of the Shadowless Sword isn't as mesmerizing or as ambitious as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon or Hero, but it doesn't attempt to be. It's a much more workman-like martial arts movie.

    I'm a huge fan of this kind of movie, so I enjoyed this Korean entry into the genre. Some of the martial arts were done very well and while the story was interesting it was nothing memorable.

    Not fair to be too harsh when I did not see the whole movie. You should really never fly with a sword in your hand.
