    This was honestly hard to sit through. Big-budgeted but incredibly bloated and melodramatic, it felt shallow in the end. IMO it tries so hard to do justice to the touchy subject ("Nanking Rape" by the Japanese) that it ultimatively fails.

    One of the weaker points in Yimou's career...

    In terms of aesthetic beauty the film does very well and there are some well played emotional scenes. However, which such a large cast it has difficulty in creating depth for many of the characters.

    As for several critics' issue over the 'white savior' aspect of the film, in reality it is a somewhat accurate portrayal of what happened. Though if people want to learn more about that, the film Nanking is better suited.

    Nanjing Heroes is a lame title. The Flowers Of War is far better. The movie is decent...Great music, acting, visuals,etc but it's really long with not much going on which = boring AND it's far too melodramatic. 6.5/10 12 years ago
