  • Good but gooey

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    As always the production team deliver something that is gorgeaus to look at cinematically but the film falls foul on being over schmaltzy hollywood style and so is no where near as good as Hero or Flying daggers

    I really enjoyed this film. As stated by others it is not as good as CTHD or hero but it is well worth a watch. I loved it and will definitely buy it to add to my collection.

    Brilliant story line, Loved the cinematic scenes. Highly recommend but not as good as House of Flying Daggers, Hero, or Crouching tiger hidden dragon but, worth renting.

  • Love Story Overpowering the Palace Intrigue

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By a customer , 07 Jul 2012
    This is basically a love story set against a backdrop of a battle for power. Whilst the romance provides a little comedy, it also tends to slow the film down and detracts from the palace intrigue. This is a shame as the power struggle is the most interesting part of the film. The characters are fairly two dimensional, the good guys unbelievably good with the baddies almost mustache-twirling. Although this is by no means a classic, it is an enjoyable enough way to spend an hour and a half.

  • Not bad but not the best

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    Not a typical martial art film, as it deals with the Empress' conflict being the dutiful daughter and wanting love and freedom.

    A few good flights in it.

    Great film ruined by technical fault!!!!

    Was very much enjoying the movie right up until it stops before the end - very frustrating.
