Reworking of an old Chinese legend where a herbalist meets and falls in love with a thousand-year old white snake, who has accumulated enough XPs to be able to transform itself into human form. Eva Huang plays the sultry white snake, while Raymond Lam plays the herbalist. Jet Li plays Abott Fahai, who goes around catching demons. He makes it his mission to capture the White Snake, even though she is doing any mischief and her only crime is to liaise with the herbalist.The original Legend of the White Snake is more of a love story, but that aspect takes a back seat in this movie. Here, it's more about the CGI and the extended fight scenes. The scriptwriters should've stuck to the original story.
