one of the best of Zhang`s movies,Chow yun-fat is amazing.
Great movie except the plot is too straightforward. 4 star!
THIS IS A MUST SEE MOVIE!!!!!!! Gong Li is an amazing actress.
tastefully done, artistic, superb blend of color and contrast. Plot is rather simple and straightfoward, lack of suspense.
Very complex yet entertaining movie...it kept my attention and interest throughout the entire two hour duration...very good plot...very artistically done...Gong Li is excellent...Highly recommended
slow buildup~ excellent finish
Superb! The lavishly made costumes and set decoration is just beyond my imagination. The character of each of the three sons is distinctively well expressed. It`s a masterpiece. Zhang Yimou never let you down.
bad bad movie
a beautiful moive
Jay is so-so, but Chow and GongLi are very good.
