I like how the starting point's status quo returns in the end (square in a circle) and becomes much more justificated. After all the Emperor and the Empress are both antiheroes, so a fight between them (deduction of War and Peace) will cause only meaningless sufferings.

Nothing more than glammed-out melodrama, but still pretty entertaining stuff.

I found the plot too far-fetched. And is there anyone in this family who doesn't act like a psycho? Maybe the second son...

I liked the Shakespearian mood of the film and Gong Li's imperial presence. Masterpiece.

Yes its melodramatic, but its also extremely entertaining and beautifully shot. Also has some of the best production design of all time.

Way to artificial compared to his previous and much better films. Is way too obvious and takes its audience for dopes. Laughable special effects and a soupy plot. Gong Li's breasts do a good job of co-starring. Disappointing effort.

I love this film however some of Zhangs other films aren't up to par. If all of them were like this i'd be a fan hands down ;)

I remember sitting in a hookah shop, drinking jasmine tea while I watched this film. I was so amazed by the rich, bold colors that I went and rented the movie the next day. Very, very beautiful film and through it, there is also an ugliness that really kept my attention.

all of i have to say about this movie is style: costumes .. elaborate, style. music... accompaniment style action sequences...precise and choreographed style complex structure...stylized photography...visually style even the extras had style..I mean there was so many of them. This film was more of that Yimou artistic magnificence. I forgive you for making a woman, a gun and a noodle shop.
