Visually (and emotionally) scrumptious epic is so much fun to luxuriate in that you can forgive minor plotting issues (why the intriguing political machinations have to be scrapped and ignored in the second half for a tried-and-true love triangle is a bit of a head scratcher). Well served by its three leads who do inspire investment in the melodrama, making the stunning climax (as summer turns to winter) all the more powerful and moving.

Wow to cinematography and plot's twists! Thumbs down to the numerous unanswered questions like: Who really was Nia, the head of the House of Flying Daggers (HFD)? Did HFD capture the government military general? Did the HFD survive after its hideout was surrounded by the general's army? How about the HFD mole, the captain, and Jin his lieutenant, did they die of their wounds? SCORING: 99-96=Great; 95-90=Very good; 89-85=Good; 84-80=So-so; 79-70=Boring; Below 70=Forget it.

Beautiful but boring. One interesting thing about the movie is that for most of it we have no idea who these characters are. We never know how sincere or duplicitous the characters are being because they are all playing a role. In addition, the background of political revolution is pure window dressing that is meant to be inconsequential in the face of the more important love story. These two factors stopped me from latching on to any narrative element of the film.

Like Hero before it I'm surprised by how invested I was in the story. I came for the martial arts, where it certainly delivered both in choreography and how beautiful the film is, but the cherry on top was that I found the plot both interesting and heartfelt. This is more romance than Hero was, but because of that the final fight was actually really emotional and brutal. But even if you just judge it based on how wuxia it is, it succeeds admirably.
