I usually don't care about the acting and stuff.
For that I usually look in another film and not in wuxia, maybe academy nominated or something, we have lots of good acting in those kind of movies.
My main interest is how they show the high-powered move of 18DP, dog beating skill, 9 Yin, Sad Palm, Vacant Fist, Jade Maiden etc. Clearly only the modern version can do well in this department. I try to watch the classic version, but I only survive like 5 minutes and then turn off my player.
