Good movie. Great action, great costumes, I will watch it over and over with the subtitles.

i was really disaopointed with film the only good part was the trailers they show you the best part of the film the rest of it was boring, the customs where great and the cinematography was exent but thats all
An overblown bore. I'm getting tired of Zhang's over-melodramatic theatrics.
8/10 This one, I admit, I've been advoiding for quite a while now. It looked like one of the multitudes of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon "clones, which although I like these kinda films, rarely are they even in the same league as the orinagal. So today, I saw it was going to ...( read more)
this is a very good story though at times the fight scenes are a bit to unbelieveable
Beautiful film.Everything was beautiful in it from the sets,to the costumes,to the way it was shot. It was just gorgeous and candy for your eyes.Not hard to expect from the maker of 'House of Flying Daggers.' The acting was great.Gong Li delivered a great performance as well as ...( read more)
Not to discredit anyones situation but, most people do not come from families that are nearly as jacked up as this one.
like the graphics/ effects....the story can be confusing.....i like the set, the costumes..really a big production
Curse of the Golden Flower is a movie about a power struggle within the royal family. Like other Zhang Yimou films, this one is a visual treat to the eyes.
Sadly, none of the characters are interesting or even likeable enough to make you care about what's going on and the mov...( read more)
I saw the tail end of this the other night and I am soooo hoping to catch it from the very beginning --- and SOON!
This was quiet a disappointment The story did nīt appeal to me and was confusing. And whatīs with all that gold. But the fighting scenes are amazing. And Itīs aesthetically stunning except the gold fetishism. They are such fine craftsmen when It comes to the aesthetic. You coul...( read more)
Great pictures, great costumes and make up, great battle scene, except the ending is a bit dissapointing to me since I prefer "finished ending" movie.
jun chi neu haht jjous niid nodh aoood ldie ( i like to make words up too) .......jK! no, dont hurt me. i'm sorry.
Outstanding artistry in this stunning movie the story is captivating and the wash of colours will amaze your eyes!
Curse of the Golden Flower is a powerful and tragic story, vividly realised through a barrage of dazzling colour radiating from beautifully composed images that are a masterclass in costume and set design.
The movie is surprisingly light in action, as Zhang Yimou instead opts ...( read more)
This movie have so much beauty in it that itīs almost to much. I love all the colors and the scenes in the corridors are so fantastic. The story is exceptional and touching.

keren seh.. tapi Jay chou nya mainnya dikit...
truss kok mati semua.. tetep menang yang jahat.. huu... tapi keren filmnya..
Loved it. Truly an amazing movie. Theres a lesson to be learn from this one: Don't F*** w/ the King.
i really love this movie.,., it was a story of power and deceit.,., it was indeed imcomparable and is of quality production.,,.
To put a point to it, the lavish period costumes, operatic mise-en-scčne and ceremonial grandeur of Curse of the Golden Flower clashes fatally with the nuanced nastiness of modern marital discord.
While the film looks beautiful and the cinematography and staging by Xiaoding Zhao...( read more)
I liked this better the second time. I wish I could say more about what it says about Chinese politics and history.
jay chou looks so cool in tis movie!! especially in d war scene..
It may not be full of action from start to finnish, but the story does keep you interested until the ninjas appear.
another cool fighting asian movie wich displayes thir professiency with the camera in fighting scens, but the story aint all that great, watch hero instead if you havent!
Well if u like a lots of ppl dying for some wierd non-understandable reason, well this is the movie for u...
beautifully shot and nicely paced however the story is a little complex coming together in a very nice way at the end. The fight sequences are well correographed and so it keeps you entertained.
