January 1, 2007Damn.
Well I have to say that this is one of Zhang's worst films. And I was really sad (I guess) that he had made this film he usually makes films that stand out and are more enjoyable than this.
Well, it's bueatifully set. The scenery, costumes and the palace, unrealistically ...( read more) -
December 31, 2006first of all, jay chou isn't made for acting and he shouldn't be in this film. 2nd, there's no plotline, only a gr8 bunch of beautiful costumes and props and ppl in the film. the actors (gong li and chow yun fat) couldn't use their acting skills bcos there's no plotline. and basi...( read more)

December 31, 2006Probably my least favorite of Zhang's films so far. However, I find that his films become far better after a second or third viewing.
This films is much more narrative and drama based than his last two efforts (Hero, House of Flying Daggers), but that's not necessarily...( read more) -
December 31, 2006Forget abt the criticisms to do with the many boobs, this film is so theatrically oppressive and garish that it makes sense to have the boobs overkill. Excellent homage to the original play. By far the best of this genre.

December 30, 2006Amazing cinematography and the sheer scale was overwhelming! Well worth the watch!

December 30, 2006the story is simple enough. but hell! Jay Chou is one bad actor. in all his scenes, he looks like a spaz. literally. idiotic. too many colours, mostly golden. blinding really. Gong Li was great. and so was Chow Yun-Fat. but really, i dont think that in the Tang Dynasty, where fat...( read more)

December 30, 2006Incest and cleavage, that's right, the two themes of this years epic chinese costume movie. From the director of Hero and House of Flying Daggers, this is his new film, although it did not get me as interested as those previous films. On the plus side you have Chow Yun-Fat as the...( read more)

December 30, 2006The scene shots were very grand but jay is just too comical to be in it. Minus him wld be a plus. :p

December 28, 2006Another masterpiece by Mr Zhang.

December 26, 2006Great setting! I think it's closed to perfect. Chow Yun-Fat & Gong Li, I can say there's nothing to criticize bout, they're brilliant! Jay Chou, too much to comment. I would actually give it a 5stars if there's no him. Well he might be a good song writer, but actor? He's definite...( read more)

December 25, 2006Beautiful setting and Art directions.. Great acting (Jay's acting improved! but the imaging doesn't really suit Tang Dynasty), great visuals, and Great feel! Thumb's up! I love the ending.

December 25, 2006intrigue, suspense, good stagework, good plot development. 'Hero' was definitely better, but this comes close.
-
December 25, 2006Stunning movie, a visual treat, everything is so elaborate and beautiful, especially the set. Gong Li shines like no other in her role. Jay Chou doesn't do well as a conflicted son, and comes off rather rigid. Chow Yun-Fat does amazingly well too. The story is unique and quite u...( read more)
-
December 25, 2006wow, this has got to be the most OTT movie I've seen in recent years. it totally overwhelmed the story and the excellent performance by Gong Li, Liu Ye and Chow Yun-Fat. Jay Chou was another distracting element, he was terrible. I wished Zhang Yi Mou could have been more restrain...( read more)

December 20, 2006Fantastic art direction, beautiful colours! The only setback is, Zhang still not extremely good at action/war scenes, we see the mass, but can't feel it being grand.
