Saving General Yang

Watched Saving General Yang today at AMK Hub with B in the evening. I enjoyed watching the action in this film particularly when there are so many handsome actors especially my favourite idol, Vic Zhou acting in this film. In my opinion, I find that the story was good, the actions were entertaining but the dialogue was sparse, especially for Vic Zhou, where he merely have a few lines of dialogue. Nevertheless, his distinguished and magnificent archery stunts in this film makes him shine in the film. All in all, I would say just watch this film to enjoy the fighting scenes and to have some eye candy!
