Joey O'Bryan Austin Chronicle Rated: 3/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Paul Chambers Movie Chambers It would have been less of a yawn to watch more fully-developed characters and plotting. More substance and less midair kicks. Rated: D Aug 15, 2012 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 11, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Ronnie M The martial arts and storyline are incredible. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review camille l N'attendez pas de Butterfly & Sword qu'il vous conte une histoire simple et bien racontée. En revanche, le film de Michael Mak est une avalanche de combats plus ou moins bien filmés, mais toujours assez dynamiques, avec une propension à enchaîner plongées et contre-plongées sans arrêt. N'est certes pas Tsui Hark qui veut, mais Michael Mak s'en rapproche pas mal ici. On peut néanmoins regretter que Donnie Yen et Michelle Yeoh soient beaucoup trop en retrait au profit d'une bluette pas forcément très intéressante entre Tony Leung & Joey Wong. Mais Butterfly & Sword reste un divertissement très honnête à défaut d'être véritablement mémorable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Very.underated but was pretty good Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review don s Mundane martial arts movie that has all the beautiful colors and fabrics and the flying action moves of the more famous movies of this genre, but doesn't put them together with a good story; it is all just window dressing over opaque glass. Even the acting is less than engaging. Quite disappointing. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Badass swordsplay fighting , future martial arts movies should be made like this ! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny, bloody, violent, beautiful and very watchable--Over-The-Top Chop Sockey!!
