The Empress And The Warriors

When the ancient King of a proud Chinese Kingdom is killed, the throne passes to his only daughter, Yan Feier (Kelly Chen - Infernal Affairs). Ill-prepared for the rigours of leadership that lie ahead, she relies heavily on her father's most trusted General, Muyong (Donnie Yen - Hero).

But when she is poisoned by her envious cousin, Wu Ba (Leon Lai - Seven Swords), she flees, choosing love over duty, and leaving the ever-loyal Muyong to stand alone against the insidious forces that threaten to tear their nation apart. Will the Kingdom be lost forever, or can Feier summon the courage her bloodline demands and return to fight her enemies and assume her rightful place at the head of the nation?

    Good but gooey

    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
