I watched this movie a long time ago and thought it was pretty good, at least it was an attempt to make superhero movies in Hong Kong, but my friends all around seemed to think it was mediocre.

It is mentioned in the film that the emergence of superheroes is a manifestation of the stressful life of modern urbanites. When people see too much injustice in the pressure of life, they will hope that superheroes will save mankind, so there will be "black heroes". hallucinations. I think this is a way for the director to express his views on American superheroes, but it seems that such a superhero model is not very popular in the Chinese world. This film was replaced a few years later and made a sequel, because it was not played by Jet Li, I Haven't watched it yet.
