Detective Dee: Mystery of the Phantom Flame

Beautiful martial arts/Chinese drama.  It drags on a little bit but worth it for some of those magical martial art sequences.   The poster to this says, "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" meets "Sherlock Holmes."  Son of a bitches are right about that.  I admit, the story may be silly at times. Other times, it's serious.  Detective Dee is powerful.  Nobody can't mess with him.  He's also very honorable.   If this was just a bit shorter, I might have enjoyed it more.  
This is worth a peek if you're in the mood for a "cartoony" martial arts flick.  Other than that, nothing special. 

Made a spicy teriyaki shrimp dish earlier today so I was obviously in the mood for a Chinese movie.
