One of the most beautiful films I have ever seen, combined with an interesting story that unfolds with unexpected twists. The only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars was the unbelievability of some of the fight scenes. I can swallow most of them and enjoy them for the art that they are, but a few (the arrow scene and the leaf scene mostly) were more ludicrous than magical. But overall the film was an unexpected pleasure.

i have checked this out from the lib. three times now and third time was a charm. i thought the colors and the fluidity of the film were wonderful. the fights scenes were beautiful. unbelieveable but beautiful.

why are people raving about this? It’s pretty mediocre, although the visuals are good.

This is absolutely my favorite film! It’s so beautiful that I can’t help but to cry every time I watch it.

Absolutely stunning visual masterpiece. Recommended.

More from me about this on 43Things – I can’t be bother copying and pasting.

I was lucky to see this in the theater and would like to see it again. It is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful movies you will see.

I really enjoyed the use of color in this movie.
