"18.4. 2011
A visually colorful yet disappointing fantasy adventure film directed by Chen Kaige, who has actually previously proved to be a promising director. The mass battle scenes are mostly decent but some of them are ruined by poor special effects. The story is full of tediously typical stuff about love, honor and destiny."
