The banquet . . .B
Mandarine , china hk production , ancient china (tang dynasties ) , drama , epic , violent .

Set around the time end of Tang dynasties , where the fighting are everywhere , loyal familes are killing each other and rebellions are everywhere..haha

The story look very familiar with Hamlet story by shakebeard..but this china hk production with it 3 times the tragedy , betrayal , twists and violent than hamlet..The visual epic is good , with the big ho ha customes and scenes..The actions are done by famous Yeow's stunt teams.

However , beware , the story line take time to built up..the whole movie is quite long winded around 2 hour 10 minute?..However , the ending part was amazing..just like hamlet x 3..hahahaha..
