Condor Hero
Chinese, English subtitles ;-)
Disc 1 of 9 discs
4 stars
Condor Hero is a tv series based on the Wuxia novel, The Legend of the Condor Heroes by Jin Yong (Louis Cha). Disc 1 is the subject of this review. If you view it as a comedy with absolutely gorgeous costuming and terrific sword fighting, I think you will enjoy it. The dialog leaves a little to be desired for a truly serious story. (How many times can the Hero say the Heroine's name?) One has the option of viewing the 5 episodes on the first disc all at once, or one at a time. The subtitles are in passable English, with many humorous grammatical mistakes – "this is a load of crab!" – being one of several I can remember. Truthfully, I look forward to Disc 2. I wish there were more series like this on American TV!
Have you seen this series? Part of it? All of it? What did you think about it? Please leave your comments on this program.
