This is a fantasy love story. A demon white snake (Shengyi Huang) becomes smitten by a herbalist (Raymond Lam) and uses her life force to help him and the humans. Her friend, a green snake demon (Charlene Choi) is more of an imp, toying with humans, especially the Sorcerer's apprentice (Zhang Wen). The Sorcerer (Jet Li)does not condone the presence of the white snake demon, even though she helps humans. This blends the lines of good and evil.
The film is magnificently done. The contrasting bright colors are distinctively oriental while the soundtrack at times is western, especially the demon music. The special effects were good, although the large CG snake was clearly CG.
Overall a visual masterpiece.
Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.
