This movie is a completely disappointment. The decade of Yimou Zhang has passed and I am very surprised that he would present such a movie, claiming to top the Chinese new year box office, in shockingly low quality. Promoted as a movie for family to enjoy, I did not find the storyline interesting, nor the scenes appropriate for any underage minors. The plot is based on a historical figure Yue Fei's life story without even telling the audience who the person is, but put a lot of emphasis on the killer of Yue Fei. The entire movie took place in a courtyard house, with absurd violence and uncomfortable use of language to body shame the women. I do not understand those reviews claiming this to be Yimou Zhang's best work - I think it is his worst piece.
