In terms of thought, "Ye Wen" has no special height; in terms of form, it is as old as "Huo Yuanjia"; in terms of kung fu, it is not even as fierce as Yen Zidan's previous work "Slaying the Wolf". You can see the rules and regulations, but you can't find the surprise of "Slaying the Wolf" and "The Fuse". Compared with the action films "Iron Monkey" and "Strike the Witness" during the peak period of Donnie Yen, it is far worse. Compared with the male protagonist, the other characters in the movie have all become foils, with more facial makeup and simplified character handling. Some actors have become a living decoration of the star lineup, and they have not played much. The content of the film is more like a literary biopic for most of the time. Ye Weixin managed to maintain the life he had when shooting "Juliet and Liang Shanbo", but it was always difficult to close the suspense. Even if he won the best action director award, it was difficult to carry the banner of the revival of kung fu movies.
