Kevin L A visually striking period film with mesmerizing costumes, that brilliantly captures viewers teleporting them into an ancient era gone by. Ronny Yu directed an emotionally riveting masterpiece highlighting family, honor and duty. Yu and the ensemble of writers offer never before seen war tactics combed with gripping battle scenes executed with graceful eloquence. It compellingly tells a classic coming of age tale about the Yang Clan based on historical events. Do yourself a solid by giving it a chance to kidnap you for 102 minutes. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/07/25 Full Review carlos t Minha opinião: Um filme de época chinesa, onde seu imperador esta sendo atacado pelo inimigo e um general ambicioso que quer ser o único, para isso ele arma uma armadilha para que seu outro general oponente. E ele tem que fugir, para salvar o o general que é pai de 7 filhos se juntam para ir salva-lo. Sua mãe vai até um ancião e ele faz uma promissão e diz que irão 7 mas somente 1 voltará. O filme tem boas cenas lutas e guerras. E o general oponente esta atrás de vingança sobre aquele que matou seu pai e vai perseguir sem nenhum sentimento de misericórdia. E assim ele mata o general e quer acabar com todos os filhos. E um a um vai sucumbindo até que ao final so reste 1 filho que retorna com o corpo do pai. Você vai sentindo o drama a cada passo do filme. Tem um bom jogo de câmeras, um roteiro legal e até uma boa carga de drama. Mas sabe quando falta aquele "TChan" e é oque senti. Roteiro: Bom Vale apena assistir? sim Nota: 6,5 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member So much to say about a movie well made! A feast for the eyes of art, real action, myth, martyrdom, and melancholy without being torn apart by a few CG scenes. An unexpectedly breath of fresh air from other Chinese wartime movies featuring veteran actors and actresses with no over-acting in sight. A magnificent masterpiece putting the themes of loyalty, obedience, benevolence, and righteousness front and centre for all warm-blooded mortals! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Completely derivative, but not without style and panache. Essentially a bigger take on Eight Diagram Pole Fighter, it tells the tale of the Yang clan when their father is trapped by the son of an old enemy. The action is plentiful and well done, but there is zero character development or much of anything else. Its a straight forward action tale, full of blood, blades, and badassery. As a piece of entertainment it does well, but those looking for a decent story or rich themes should look elsewhere. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review camille l Saving General Yang est le deuxième film de Ronny Yu après son retour de son escapade hollywoodienne. Ce n'est d'ailleurs probablement pas le meilleur vu le manque cruel de substance narrative qu'on peut déplorer dans cet enchaînement de combats et de batailles très bien filmées (Ronny Yu n'a rien perdu de son talent visuel, par contre) qui ne raconte pas grand chose de bien intéressant mais qui a le mérite d'être bien joué par un casting peu connu hors de Chine. La musique de Kenji Kawai est par ailleurs étrangement criarde, mais l'ensemble reste agréable et heureusement plutôt court. Un bon divertissement, mais rien de plus. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought this movie was great in depicting the true story of the Yang family and what the seven brothers did to rescue their father. The cast was not a great cast, but the action scenes were great. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
