Has been criticized by some reviewers for its low-tech special effects. Curiously, I found this technical transparency part of the film's enormous charm.

Chen Kaige clearly intended this Chinese fantasy-action spectacle to top Zhang Yimou's Hero, and I must admit that I prefer it to the earlier movie.

The Promise is too full of frenetic disconnection and arbitrary comings and goings to connect meaningfully with the hearts and minds of its audience.
May 5, 2006 | Full Review… -
With The Promise Chen Kaige has proven enough of a professional that he can make the product. But he remains too much of an artist not to scribble on his signature.
May 5, 2006 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review… -
Chen's strength seems to be more with character-driven stories; here's hoping that his next film returns to more comfortable ground.
May 5, 2006 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review… -
Laden with a plot that could generously be called silly or, less forgivingly, stupid, it never achieves lift-off despite numerous scenes of warriors doing battle in midair.

Mar 13, 2011Chinese fairy story about the slave, the general and the woman they both want who is destined to lose every man she falls in love with. Apparently one of the most expensive fllms made in China and it shows - it's very very pretty. <img src="http://celebritywonder.ugo.com/thumbV2/mp/2006_Wu_ji_(The_Promise)/tn/2006_the_promise_003.jpg">Lesley N Super Reviewer

Sep 29, 2009Visually looks beautiful. The script isn't so good and the casting really failed. The fight scenes were stunning though.James H Super Reviewer

Aug 24, 2009The Promise is a 2005 Chinese epic fantasy film a fairy tale for adults that allows the viewer to inhabit an entirely different world, and in doing so, becomes an exercise of the imagination. I know that film been criticized by some reviewers for its low-tech special effects but curiously, I found this technical transparency part of the film's charm.Arianeta L Super Reviewer

Dec 19, 2007"Once you have accepted your destiny, nothing can alter it unless time flows backwards, snow falls in the spring and the dead come back to life." A beautiful, poetic and sometimes cruel fairy tale about love, war, honor and pride and where nothing is what it seems. A great adventure film with a powerful score in the same tradition as Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and Hero.Magnus X Super Reviewer
