An Empress And The Warriors

An Empress and the Warriors Blu Ray disc arrived earlier than promised, and in excellent condition. All the product description for this disc was very accurate, this is important information that I count on before I make a purchase. The disc played without a hitch. The color and sharpness of this movie great, it lives up to the Blu Ray standards. I really enjoy the movie as well, nice story and lots of action. If you are a Donnie Yen FAN, you should get this.

This is a really good movie..This isn't typical Asian action movie although their are really well done battle scenes and nice effects..The film spends time showing romance between Kelly Chen & Leon Lai and they did an awesome acting job plus it had a good story line and I recommend it very much..

This is a very good movie from China. Yes it is subtitled but the story is well told, easy to follow and entertaining. Chinese directors and Editors are very good story tellers. The sets, costumes and visuals are spectacular and are every bit as good as any Hollywood film..... I won't give my opinion about the story line that's your job. I will say it does have a fair amount of violence after all it is titled " The Empress and the Warriors" it is also fun and exiting ...... I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy this film. I'm a collector and I'm very happy I added this film to my collection, I wish I could say that about all the movies I own.

great movie it is a winner

I am a big fan of ancient Chinese action movies. That is lots of action and drama in this one.

While the photography and acting are worth watching, the plot itself is flawed. Did not make sense at many a places - specially a General battling whole army all alone (not new to these kinds of flick). In this movie, it was dragged a bit too much. So much importance to the leadership of the Empress, however she never was able to deliver , be it leadership, military acumen or inspiration. She was mostly a cry baby or a love bird. The New Moon Warrior angle seemed an after thought to show love angle of Empress and was abruptly left to the winds. Can be watched if in a mood to watch an Oriental flick but don't expect much from plot.

Not sure if I liked this movie or not. There were a lot of strong themes running through it and a lot of the traditional clichés. "My successor will get revenge!" But they were not the main themes running through this movie. They were more like subtexts. I do not know enough Chinese history to comment on the authenticity of this offering but a lot of it looked and felt more European. Ok onto the what you want to know. Cinematic value was fantastic. Cameras were amazing this should be an HD release. Filming and direction was good sound was average. One disk containing the movie and special features. Special features include Audio Commentary with Bey Logan The Making of... Audio options are either Mandarin or English and subtitles in English, English for the hearing Impaired and Spanish

A LOT of romance, plenty of battles (including Donnie Yen vs An Army), a mix of epic music with piano and uilleann pipes (yes, you read that correctly), and drool-worthy armor make this the perfect movie for date night. Yes, it's about war but doesn't focus exclusively on it. Fast-paced, non-stop entertainment.

Bardzo fajne historyczne kino akcji. Polecam

This is a good production which really deserves director's or extended cut in my opinion, as I found myself questioning the editing decisions plaguing this existing release all too often for my liking. A project of this sort really requires a completely unwavering faith in certain goals, and in the case of Empress and the Warriors it's all about filling the movie with enough action sequences to maintain audience interest. Unfortunately, many of the elaborate and otherwise enjoyable battle scenes were badly cut short, sometimes absurdly so, as though someone was mortally afraid of my nemesis; someone online writing a review attacking the movie for "overly long" scenes. Time and again I was left frustrated beyond words after witnessing these beautifully choreographed and plotted battle scenes butchered or absurdly shutdown by clumsy and ineffective editing which really seemed to only care about making this movie as close to 90 minutes rather than 2 hours as possible. What a waste. A very good performance from Donnie Yen and Leon Lai, which really would have been all the more memorable if there was just a bit more conviction behind them. It could have been so much more as a two-hour battle feast of full course dishes, but this release offers only a platter of snack-sized fights instead leaving the audience wishing for more. In the case of Empress and the Warriors, this kind of teasing is just too cruel.

C'est très rare, un film asiatique à part des combats, des bagarres,des vols de toits en toits, mais ce film est une réussite, des batailles, des combats mais sans excès, mais il y a une histoire plausible, surtout une histoire d'amour très légère mais belle et émouvant, à voir si quelqu'un aime les films asiatiques sentimentaux En plus le prix est abordable à tout le monde

Wunderschöner Film,lang nicht mehr gesehen,top👍

This film has it all, Great Actors, realistic sets, locations & costumes, with a cracking story. The story is quite sad & tragic though. I'm not really into mushy films atall, yet, I found myself really enjoying this film. I would describe it as a historical, Action, Romance, Tragedy. There is nothing flowery about it, yet, it is still moving & emotional. The film deals with the Age long topics of Deceit, treason, conspiracies, age long feuds, battles to defend the land against enemies & betrayal within the Empires etc. In the middle of it all, is the story involving the central characters. The Princess, Her Loyal general, Her traitorous Cousin & the Strange young hermit who lives in the forrest, who she befriends. Basically, the Princess is thrust into ruling the Empire, prematurely. It is up to her General to make sure she can defend herself & is trained well enough to win the respect of her officers & Army & be fit to lead them into battle. To do this, he has to be merciless, even though they have been friends from early childhood. Another twist in the story unfolds as she is undergoing her training..But I'll not say too much on that.. Amazing Film..I loved it..Big Thumbs Up
