Rating (1-10, 10 being highest): 4
Quick Rating: (skip, watch, watch when no other choice): Skip It
Story Line: Zhang Ziyi as the emporess in this fight to gain the emperor position among different relatives.
What's good: The movie boasts a very strong cast, director, music score, singer, and even Lang Lang as piano, and the supergirl as singer. All are very famous in China.
What's bad: This movie has the flu of typical modern mainland Chinese blockbuster movie, which is too much emphasis on art, looks and styling. Kung Fu fighting scenes are few. Maybe the director purposedly wanted to make it an opera like than movie like.
Bottom line: The movie is very much like another movie "Curse of the Golden Flower" with Chow Yun-fat in it. Both movies are more focused on styling than essence. Not for a typical wanting to see some action.
