the banquet the movie: zhang zi yi( 2006) movie review

 well this review regarding the banquet might be 5 years late, but well i have decided to make reviews based on films that i have actually watched, since  i was not able to watch this 5 years ago, let me have my verdict on it.
well the costume, the place, the environment and the props was superiors. the lighting was good, visually speaking it was a work of art. As for the story, well i was enchanted for the first 45 minutes, then eventually got bored, The movie was too long, that is why the concept got repeated over and over again. But i must congratulate the director, the producer and zhang zi yi, it was still an art packed film, filled with colors and movements, and the characters seemed to be dancing while fighting. it was dream like i mean compared to other films, it was definitely better than sucker punch a thousand times and contains witty statements along the way. The story however, is not unique if we will review other chinese films. The craziness of the empress, the emperor and the prince is apparent, we get it power freaks go nowhere, but the chinese just seem to have a way of making the story chaotic a midst the calmness and serenity of the film. Well it was still really fictional you know, but the kind that you can forgive. The story would have been good if it had ended with some power and vengeance.oh but i guess to each his own. i give it a B-.
