Unquestionably stunning from a custom design standpoint, the movies succeeds visually in ways that many similar movies fail to match. However, the story is decent but arguably a bit more simplistic and weaker to some extent, perhaps limiting the ultimate potential of this entertaining visual feast.

This film features lots of impressive martial arts style, well choreographed fighting, large scale battles and its certainly lavishly stylish. Thematically its about jealousy, infidelity and anger. Its a bit hard to follow the plot in its entirety but its an entertaining watch regardless.

The visuals were nothing short of gorgeous, and the acting, music and pacing was all great. Still, the plot could have been stronger, maybe more emphasis on the 2nd son seeing how vital he'd be in the climax, or a final showdown between him and the Emperor. I also didn't get why exactly he's poisoning his 2nd wife and how the 1st escaped jail, but the battle sequences and tragic conclusion were potent enough to make up the difference.

It doesn't use its stylization as cleverly as Hero did, but it's a substantial improvement over Flying Daggers. It returns to some of the issues of beauty, form, and truth as in those two film, but is structurally the simplest of the three.
