'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' 2024 is disjointed and lacking in appeal

Chinese movie "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" 2024 has illogical content and must be canceled.

The work has other names: The world of martial arts Kim Dung , consists of five parts: Iron blood heart , Eastern Evil, Western Venom, Southern Emperor, Northern Beggar, Nine Yin Manual and Huashan Sword Discussion. Total 60 episodes, including Iron Blood Heart 30 episodes, all aired. According to Chinanews On July 13, the distributor planned to release the entire series but canceled the plan, and has not announced the release date for the remaining four parts. Some sources say the crew needs time to re-edit the content and wait for another release.

The disjointed content is said to be one of the reasons why the show was taken off streaming. Iron Blood Heart mainly revolves around the background and love story of the two main characters Hoang Dung (played by Bao Thuong An) and Quach Tinh (played by Thu Sa). According to Beijing News , the first 30 episodes omitted many important scenes in Kim Dung's original work, making the work lack coherence and logic, making it difficult for those who have never read the original to grasp the content.

Writer Vuong Thi Nghieu believes that Kim Dung's novels have been a hit on the screen for decades, mainly because of the "chivalry" in the stories. But in Iron Blooded and Hearted , the film crew has not been able to highlight this element, only using the "cover" of Kim Dung to attract the attention of martial arts fans. The story is poorly adapted and empty.

On film forums, many viewers commented that the acting of some main actors was not convincing. Bao Thuong An turned the character Hoang Dung into a girl who was too gentle, silly, her dialogue reading is also considered unnatural and annoying.

Previously, the production and distribution unit expected The martial arts world of Kim Dung , plans to adapt a series of novels by the late writer, building a series of films like the "Marvel universe". However, the film adaptation The Legend of the Condor Heroes failure, low viewership compared to investment budget.

According to the newspaper Van Hoi Bao , in the past 10 years, new works adapted from Jin Yong's novels have been continuously released, but most of them have not been highly appreciated by the audience. The universe of characters in the novel is diverse and unique. The lives of many supporting characters can develop into independent stories, and are not even limited by the word "martial arts". The spirit of chivalry does not necessarily have to be expressed only through fighting. New imaginations of Jin Yong's stories can surpass the limits of the world of martial arts and giang ho. This depends on the filmmaker's courage to accept challenges and innovation.
