I don't have too much comments on this film. A perfect film on visual effects but so-so in the story.

Most of Shanghai's theater has been equiped with cutting-edge audio, video and environment facilities. It is seldom see "large theater halls". As shown on the pictures, the hall is not large - I was sitting at the left most seat of the last row.

Hey - I saw that last night too and was going to write a blog about it! I thought that the story was OK, there were some twists, though the parts outside the action did drag a bit.
Posted by: Philip Sen (external link) on July 24, 2004 5:21 PMI was in Shanghai last week and I heard that when House of Flying Daggers came out into the movies, it was the only new movie that came out for that week. So if you wanted to see a movie, that was your only option.

Posted by: juan on July 25, 2004 3:21 AMNot a well commented movie, yet a success in term of profit making. :)
Posted by: robin on July 25, 2004 4:40 AMMay, there are still some other movies (well, yes, it is the only new movie this week).

Posted by: Jian Shuo Wang (external link) on July 25, 2004 11:56 AMSomehow, I am disappointed with this movie. Somehow the story is funny and I can't help lauching during the film.
Posted by: Lisa on July 25, 2004 8:39 PMI've been told that throughout Shanghai, this is the only movie allowed to be played in theatres for a few weeks, guess Zhang Yimou has some important friends somewhere.
Posted by: Gene on July 27, 2004 3:51 PMAre the people allowed to take their camers within the cinema?
Posted by: Lu Heli on July 27, 2004 6:42 PMI suppose no. But I didn't see any sign to ban from it. I took picture before the move starts. The picture on the screen is advertisement. So I think it should be OK.
Posted by: Jian Shuo Wang (external link) on July 27, 2004 9:48 PMGood film. Not Zhang Yimou's best, but better than Hero imo.
Posted by: Arnold (external link) on January 3, 2005 8:14 AMi liked hero! actaulyl i like all zhang ziyis movies so im biased
