a princess is forced to take over as empress after her father' s death and must fight to save her kingdom .
when a expresses father dies and her brother forces his way into power by violence the empress is taken to safety by her faithful warriors until time is ready to come and take back what is rightfully hethis film stars the super star donnie yen as a worrior who helps the empress played by kelly chen this film has amazing scenery and a great story the battle scenes are amazing if at times slightly exaggerated but overall brilliant. this has it all murder revenge love honour and the ability to suck you in till you are mesmerised by its beauty highly recommended .
feier goes from serious and directed to silly and sassy, and the film doesn' t provide enough backstory to give her personality switch much credibility. perhaps the idea is that she can finally let her hair down outside of the stifling walls of the palace, but the film doesn' t convey that well. if one reads through the lines, empress can make much more sense, as the outline of a workable, if clichéd plot are present. but really, the audience shouldn' t be required to do that work for the filmmakers. the storyline and emotions in empress and the warriors feel exceptionally, exceptionally perfunctory, as they' re not really given the focus or support needed to make them affecting. even the promise managed to tug more heartstrings than this film .
is dumb fun - with an emphasis on dumb. directed by ching siu - tung ,
the acting is a bit of a letdown. donnie yen and leon lai are nothing special. the lovely kelly chen, who actually puts on an entertaining performance, adds to the childishness of the romantic drama scenes, that in the end hurt this film .
his country torn asunder by civil war, zhao zilong, a common man heeds the call of duty and from the humblest of roots rises through the ranks on wings of courage and cunning to command an... see full summary »
it' s about a empress, who had to learn who to fight and her army, after the death of her father, it' s a good and emotional story of her life .
a hot - headed inspector takes on a small but powerful vietnamese - chinese gang, after a series of crimes and murder attempts committed and putting an undercover cop and his girlfriend in great danger .
however, that' s not the type of character that chen plays in empress. here, she' s required to portray a determined young princess who takes up a difficult challenge: heir to an entire kingdom that happens to be at war. you' d think that responsibility would require a serious, focused young woman with a tremendous chip on her shoulder, and not a ditzy, pouting princess who has time to act silly. but we get the full gamut - serious to silly to pouty - with chen' s photogenic and bewildering performance, and the whole is too inconsistent to take seriously. empress and the warriors mirrors that inconsistency, and is ultimately not a film to call quality. but amusing? it can be that .

jiang shan mei ren is a movie starring kelly chen, donnie yen, and leon lai. after the death of her father, a woman is forced to take over as empress and fight to save her kingdom .
check out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy, the predator, zoe, and the king of thieves .
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 .

is the 21st century answer to the beloved hong kong cinema swordplay classics of old .
, as well as numerous martial arts classics. chen' s co - stars are also top - notch; leon lai is her paramour, a kindly doctor with a hidden past, and action superstar donnie yen is her childhood friend and toughest warrior - and a man who holds a secret affection for his empress. a lavish tale filled with action and romance ,
wonderful hong kong tale set in a time before the unification of the middle kingdom... and romantic. although the asian - action genre has largely worn out its novelty value since the phenomenal crouching tiger, hidden dragon brought it to the mainstream, the legion of eastern cinema buffs will love this big budget showcase of hong kong martial arts. following in the tradition of sumptuous, pseudo - historical martial arts epics hero and red cliff. donnie yen in the last scene is just the mars and there have never been a character in the cinematic history as heroic as him !
another grand scale chinese film with gorgeous costumes and armor. the leads are attractive, the love story predictable but carried off pretty well .
a kung fu thriller set during the ming dynasty and centered on a secret service agent (donnie yen) in the emperor' s court who is betrayed and then hunted by his colleagues .
at a high level the story is a good one, which involves a princess taking the throne of a kingdom at war. sadly, the film doesn' t feel as epic as it sounds. at only 90 minutes, there are times where the movie is successful and those are the scenes without leon lai. the first 20 minutes, as well as the last 20 minutes, are where the pacing is pretty quick and all the action happens. it is in the middle where leon lai' s dramatic scenes drag this movie down. these scenes are playful at times, however while taking a little away from the boredom, it also takes away from the seriousness that this film employs the rest of the time .
can a kingdom change its nature? yan, one of the ten kingdoms, is constantly at war. yan' s emperor dies from a battle wound and a general' s treachery. his successor is unclear: his daughter feier, who would be the kingdom' s first empress; his favorite, xuehu, a warrior of noble heart but not noble blood; and, hu ba, the ambitious traitor. xuehu is feier' s protector and teaches her how to be a warrior queen. hu' s followers plot her failure, first in a kidnapping plot, then in a coup. feier is saved from the kidnap attempt by duan lanquan, an ingenious hermit with a shrouded past. he treats her wound and gives her a vision of a different kind of kingdom. can his dream become hers ?
any martial arts movie lover needs to watch this. i am a huge donnie yen fan and most of his movies are phenomenal, but the action is mind blowing and the choreography is utterly believable. seriously, the body count is off the charts. everyone involved in these war battles is a hero in their own right, whether on the good side or evil side .
the story of legendary guan yu crossing five passes & slaying six generals. he played a major role in the civil war that led to the collapse of han dynasty & the establishment of shu han of the 3 kingdoms, making liu bei its first emperor .
three young martial arts masters emerge from the back streets of hong kong to help the powerless fight injustice .
after the death of her father, the king of yang, princess feier (kelly chen) tries to rule the warring kingdom, but as a woman her leadership is questioned and she herself becomes torn between the three loves of her life: her most trusted general muyong xuehu (donnie yen), the mysterious doctor who saves her life lan quan (leon lai) and her kingdom .

basically this movie has a plot typical a romance epic genre. but i don' t care much about the story. my only reason watching this flick is because donnie yen. the direction seriously damaged by lack of exploration by the filmmaker. this is not movie quality direction rather much like a tv series quality. very disappointing. the pace is inconsistent, the romantic scenes very immature and lame, there no intensity on the battle scenes at all. the characterization on the bad guys very cheaply done. it' s like they are yelling at the audience ,
i' m the bad guy, look at my evil expressions, very bad ain' t it
. overall this flick is very disappointing. 4 / 10

as far the action goes, there are the usual epic big battle scenes. fortunately, there is enough in the way of one on one battles to display some good martial arts choreography. donnie yen, leon lai, and even kelly chen all get a chance to display some moves .
while i like the story i can' t help but realize how weak the transfer is. i don' t mind a little film grain, but this was rather annoying. i have watched the film in both dvd and bluray and have to admit that the dvd was less annoying. well the story is... cute. don' t know another way to describe it, yeah for love triangles. had some decent action scenes, which one would expect from this genre, but the pop music would really throw me off. give the movie a chance, it' s cheap enough to not piss a person off for buying it .
chen stars as yan feier, daughter of the king of yan, who is seriously wounded in battle with the opposing zhao army, and chooses to pass his command to adopted orphan muyong xuehu (donnie yen). the assignment is a bit surprising since xuehu - who' s also called brother hu by feier - is not blood - related to the yan family, and nephew wu ba (guo xiao - dong) is ready, able and willing to take command. however, the king knows that wu ba is a power mongering rat bastard and chooses to pass him over, thereby earning wu ba' s ire, as well as a quick assassination when no one is looking. feier happens upon her dying father, who tells her to give the symbolic swallow sword to brother hu, bestowing upon him the mantle of yan' s ruler .
