I am surprised to see suck a low average rating on this movie here. Being a huge wuxia/period fan I am naturally a little biased, but it totally blew my mind. The first half was an interesting build-up of character and plot, the second exploded into a climax I haven't seen the likes of for quite some time.

I am usually not a huge Gong Li fan but she was FANTASTIC in her role as the... read more

I watched this film purely because I was so amazed by the previous films of Yimou Zhang. You kind of go into the film expecting something epic, with grand fights and amazing colours, and while this film delivers on the colours front, there isn't really much else that you would expect.

The first half of the film dragged substantially, I wondered if there would ever be any actual ent... read more

I'm always entertained by quasi-historical dramas that have an interesting plot coupled with good acting and direction. This fits the bill very nicely. I was very impressed by Chow Yun Fat's performance. His cold cruelty and brutality were a change from his other roles that I've seen over the years. Gong Li was brilliant too as the suffering queen. The acting was good to exceptional throughout.read more

"29.11.12. Netflix/PS3 Lupasin kaikille kanavan jäsenille oluet, jos päätyisin antamaan tälle yli **. Lupaus oli aika pitävä, koska en odottanut tältä hirveästi mitään. No, eihän tämä mitään aivan kauheaa tuubaa ollut, ja ajoittain leffa on aika komeakin. Siis sillä varauksella, että elokuvan nimessä mainittu kukan värin tulee kyllä filmin mittaan vähän turhankin selväksi. Kultaista on kaikkialla suunnilleen vessanpöntöistä syömäpuikkoihin. Tarina ei kyllä kiinnos"

" Some of the most breathtaking & gorgeously intricate background set designs ever in a film. So rich are the colors & exquisite details in this movie, that it requires multiple viewings just to be able to soak it all in. Once one can get passed that aspect of the film, it will become obvious that the sets are not a distraction, but an enhancement to the story. An enrichment that adds to the dialogue with an intensity that allows the ideas of what appears to be human pettiness behavior in a roy"

A good movie

“I was really positively surprised by this movie. It was much better than I expected. First of all, it looks gorgeous. Furthermore, I'm a big fan of Gong Li and I thought she was awesome in this movie but the rest of the cast did a good joob as well. Finally, the story was rather fascinating. Definitely worth a look.” read more

"Shakespearean action and tragedy via epic Chinese period piece. This film is not as famous as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and was considered by many to be "too over the top", but I love that about it."
