It was way back in 1998 when I watched The Storm Riders. It was good then. This should be my very first review on a Hong Kong movie. It is the anticipated Storm Warriors or as in the Malay-translated comic, Pedang Setiawan!

Not really a fan but I must say, as a designer I like all the artistic elements in the movie. Some heavy abstract graphical sequences caught my attention. It was Striding Cloud’s poses made everything seem very, very cool! The casts were great especially Whispering Wind when he became er something else!

Although it jump-started with action scene, don’t expect too much on the storyline. Even the dialogue was so very little. It was basically a combination of 2 episodes of a TV series joint into a movie. There’s no focus in the movie and there were a lot of plots, as if one plot was not confusing enough?

Somehow I have to admit, the movie is very inspiring and appealing to me in an illustrative graphical eye-candy kind of sense!
