Rating:  - Much that glitters, little that's gold
Curse of the Golden Flower is a step up in budget from Zhang Yimou's Hero and House of Flying Daggers, but it's a step back in terms of drama: much that glitters, little that's gold.

Although some CGI work are obvious, the art direction is unmatched. ... Read More
Rating: - Colors are amazing
Great Colors, Beautiful picture quality. All-in-All a decent film.
Worth having in your collection if you are a drama/kung-fu junky.
Not as much fighting as i wanted, but the drama did keep me guessing till the end.
