A Chinese fairytale with something extra, 6 November 2006
8/10
Author: brucev13 from Netherlands

This movie is a beautiful fairytale. Everything worked,the music and scenery were top notch! The special effects were great! I must admit that the scene with the bulls running reminded me of the Lion King and that at that moment I thought this movie would be ridiculous. Instead it was the opposite! Most of the the themes are very serious ones like love,honor and betrayal! Only the ending was a bit confusing,but I think they did that to add some extra dimension or mystery to the story! I understand why many reviewers were a bit disappointed with this movie as they were expecting a martial arts movie! Although there is some martial arts this movie isn't about that. I enjoyed every minute of this movie and that is more than I can say about most of the Hollywood movies that came out this year (2006)!
