Condor Hero: acceptance, forgiveness, true love and heroism

By genie74 on May 29, 2009 - See all reviews by genie74

I much enjoyed this series. I love a movie that can combine action, martial arts, drama and romance. This series successfully did just that. This is a story about acceptance, forgiveness, true love and heroism. It proves that if your heart is truly good you can do right even when you have been wronged. It also proves that true love can endure anything including time.

But what also touched me ...

This is a story about acceptance, forgiveness, true love and heroism. It proves that if your heart is truly good you can do right even when you have been wronged. It also proves that true love can endure anything including time.

But what also touched me was the aspect of motherhood that one of the characters represented. She was the adoptive aunt who raised our hero and the mother of her own blood born children. She would face any foe no matter how scary or how much she herself would have to sacrifice to save her children (well her blood born children anyway). Our hero was truly treated like a step-child but she couldn’t help but to care for him over time.

I don’t want to give too much away (this is a REVIEW not a SUMMARY) so I will just tell you this:
This series was well written, directed and acted. There were multiple story lines going on at once and yet they all seemed to tie in together in masterfully. My only complaint was that the huge condor beast could have been a bit more realistic looking….

Great adaptation of the series

By ishako on Jun 14, 2012 - See all reviews by ishako

I enjoyed this adaptation of the series very much. As opposed to some of the other versions of the show, I felt that this is the first time the Little Dragon Girl was well cast when you are comparing her to how she was described in the book. Actually, most of the casting was quite good and the dynamics between the characters were wonderful.

As other reviews have mentioned, the CGI and acting ...

As other reviews have mentioned, the CGI and acting were a little over done. That being said, having both of those over done is somewhat of a trademark of this type of shows. As a whole, a well rounded series!

Good adaptation of a great series

By glsjunk on May 29, 2011 - See all reviews by glsjunk

This television series is the latest adaptation of the Jinyong classic novel "The Return of the Condor Heroes". It's a classic wuxia novel and is actually part of a trilogy which features the same characters and/or descendents of them. Without revealing too much of the plot, it's a classic story of forbidden love and good battling evil.

I marked down my overall ratings largely on technical ...

I marked down my overall ratings largely on technical merits. I think they overdid it with the CG effects and backgrounds. I also think the acting was little bit over-the-top at times.

Jin Yong's novel, "The Return of the Condor Heroes" (2nd in the "Condor Trilogy"), has achieved phenomenal success all across Asia. It is a spectacular martial art cum forbidden love story between the Condor Hero, Yang Guo, and his master Xiao Long Nu (Crystal Liu Yi Fei, "The Forbidden Kingdom" ). Set around the final years of the China Song dynasty, it is a retelling of their adventure in an unfamiliar world that does not approve of their ties to each other....If you liked "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero", "Curse of the Golden flower", "House of the Flying Daggers", etc. you'll enjoy this drama. Childhood phase may seem a little slow to some, but the other 99% of the series is very well done and the soundtrack is brilliant.

In this series you'll be introduce to so many people learn to love them and hate them and even be confonded as of how the Hero Yang Gor can still love them when they hurt him soo much.
I definately recommend this series because you'll see a love between two people that time should never hide =D
