Epic story with neverending twists and turns.
Probably the best use of color in film, gorgeous story matches the presentation. Awesome
Very good action movie with a touching love story. Superb visuals and color usage. Story drags at times but overall it's a very good watch
Classic Easter film fans of films such as crouching tiger will also love this one.
This was unforgettable! It’s magnificent sequences etch themselves into your mind. When I think of films of beauty, I think of this film.
Amazing action sequences and aesthetics! The story isn't that strong, but it's still very enjoyable.
Amazing photography and amazing story in perfect Wuxiapian style.
Mesmerizing effects, incredible cinematography.
Overly melodramatic at times, but some really nice fight sequences and gorgeous cinematography
I was completely sold until about halfway through the bamboo forest and end. Unreal visuals. Mei is stunning and Jin is charming.
