Of the ones ive seen, its a toss up between 13 Assassins and Wu Xia, both of which are excellently directed. I picked Wu Xia in the end as i felt it was more origin in storytelling.... 13 Assassins was more akin to Seven Samurai. Not that it was bad, (its very entertaining) but the plot was a little generic.

Nothing particulary blew me away, so just voted for the ones I've seen. :p

I ve only seen 13 assassins so that got my vote. Ask again in a year or so when Ive seen most of them.

I like martial art films and sadly I only watched the Green Hornet in the movies mentioned. The film is great but I can't also compare the martial films way back when there are no so much special effects yet. I love martial art films when they look more natural. That's why Chinese action movies and the best for me.

have u guys ever heard Merantau? release at 2009. i think the martial arts quite good. and officialy selected for Pifan

13 Assassins is a great movie but I think there were a lot left off the list.

I have been trying to get ahold of The Raid but I can't find it to rent anywhere. And thanks ES I just put Merantau on my Netflix list.
