Most people I know don't like it. I am probably one of very few fans. But I can understand why, most people would probably need some context to appreciate it. The movie was supposed to be 4 hours long. I like it as it is, but it lacks character development, so I would still love to watch it as it was intended. But WKW has no plans to release one. The original theatrical cut was 123 minutes long, however, there was a 130 minute domestic cut released to Chinese audience only. I am thinking about trying to get hold of it.

Interesting... I am surprised she needed so much and hard training, she is a dancer.
