Painted skin. The resurrection

Great!! I began this movie expecting to see more action than drama, I was mistaken. The plot was captivating, the love story was fairy-tale-esque but within cultural parameters. It's one thing to have a love story and another to have one with such high stakes and unique variables. I loved this one and though I haven't seen the prequel I imagine it'll be hard to top this. Lots of beautiful people in the film too! If you're expecting wall-to-wall action look elsewhere, though, the fight scenes are pretty good (one of the fight scenes reminded me a bit of one from the 1st Pirates of the Caribbean fight scene). This movie filled me with a sense of wonder that I attribute somewhat to the folklore/storytelling that inspired it. A good one for couples I'd say.
