Yes, it is a long Chinese soap opera or a Chinese Romeo and Juliet type of movie, but in overall; it is really good. Great I want to see it now. Good thing I have the DVD

Flying Daggers went too far with the flying sequences; i dont like it when action, stunts and special effects take over a movie's heart.

same for hero; plus im not a huge Jet Li fan...

Im looking forward to Curse of the Golden Flower; looks interesting, but im afraid it'll be like Flying Daggers.

I agree,I think too many special effects are not
good for any movie,just see what Hollywood became.i'm not a big Jet Li fan either,but Hero haves value!

During filming of House of Flying Daggers, actress Anita Mui died. This forced Zhang Yimou to change the ending. That,s why at the end there's a huge time wastage with people dying, coming back to life, and then dying again.

Visually the movie is stunning, but story wise it sucks.

But it's got Zhang Ziyi so... *drools*

Re : Curse of the Golden Flower :

Once again Zhang Yimou relies on color palettes to carry the story. He is an artist, the screen is his canvas.

I agree with Gwen, CTHD was a real breakthrough film...no Chinese film after that has reached the same depth and story as CTHD...but still, "House of the Flying Daggers' and 'Hero' are still interesting to watch...

Curse of the Golden Flowers or Armors was already shown here in China...Although, it was still not as good as CTHD, i would say that it's probably better than Flying Daggers and Hero...
