	Seven Swords (UK - DVD R2) in Reviews > Video Discs at DVDActive
		Each of the four possesses a sword forged on the mountain, and each has their own personal demons from which they ran away to Mount Heaven in the first place.
		Han, Yuanying and Fu—now Deity Sword, Heaven’s Fall Sword and Unlearned Sword—must all play their part, bring down General Fire-wind, and try to persuade the Emperor that the ban is wrong.
		Seven Swords uncut is already confusing enough without even more cuts.

		This is, according to legend, because the sword was made fl with a strand of Kresek's hair, he being the god of the dead.
		It is unlike any other sword he forged in that he had to take into account the existence of h1is son’s wings and preferred aerial battle style.
		It is, therefore, the lightest of Faltari’s swords.

	Firecracker \| Seven Swords (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Seven Swords is probably the most anticipated release of the summer, not least because it marks Tsui Hark’s return as director after three years (since Black Mask 2 in 2002).
		From beginning to end, Seven Swords is a visual feast, not least because of the poetic locations, perfectly presented as the protagonists go off to watch the sunrise or ski down snowy mountains.
		Apparently, Tsui Hark wooed Lau Kar Leung with the premise of ‘Sword and (Wo)Man as One’.

		Seven Swords of Mount Tian > The Swords of The Seven Swords
		The natures of the seven unique swords are a reflection of the personalities of the bearers, one can be used both ways, another can morph into two swords, etc. and all of them were produced at a very high cost.
		The Seven Swords are forged by Master Shadow-Glow at Mt Heaven, as he experiences seven different accomplishments in swordsmanship, and they all bear different metaphors.

	Seven Swords (2005)
		Seven Swords - while not reinventing martial arts cinema or reaching the heights of many of Tsui's masterpieces - still manages to entertain and even enthrall, though in uneven and sometimes underwhelming fashion.
		Basically, this is a story about seven supreme swordsmen (or five, since Han and Yuanyin need to get the hang of their new weapons) who band together to right wrongs.
		Seven Swords does not succeed as Tsui Hark's best works have, but the action, iconic characters, and the world that it creates are more than enough to make the film worth recommending.

		The Page of Swords is fast and swift and moves about with news that might bring sudden unhappiness because it is possibly unhappy, the wrong news,or comes to late to be of any good.
		The Seven of Swords - in RWS a man stealing swords from a military camp and stealing away, unseen - the concept of 'Gain coming from unexpected sources' is right there: The man stole the swords right out from under their noses and has gotten away with it.
		Likewise, the Page of Swords zipping about as a man on the skateboard also translates well; in those messenger pouches could be rags or riches, good news or bad.

		He says that he has contacted Cheung Chi Leung, who's directing the TV version Seven Swords of Mt Tian, to make a cartoon feature with a theme revolving around healthy juveniles, and will be approaching it from a very special angle.
		He says he's very excited when he first read the script, having seen nothing like The Seven Swords, "Tsui Hark has returned!" The Seven Swords is the best wuxia script he has ever encountered in many years, and he is greatly moved by Tsui Hark's love for wuxia.
		He says that compared to Hero, The Seven Swords has a far more complicated plot (There is more to the plot than merely The Seven Swords saving Wu Manor/Bowei Fortress from being destroyed by Wind-Fire), and Zhang Yimou lacks expertise in wuxia.

		There's enough worth appreciating in Seven Swords to think that a second try could easily find its comfort zone.
		The problem is that Seven Swords' narrative is so cluttered with briefly sketched characters and subplots as to be almost impossible to follow.
