Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Has been criticized by some reviewers for its low-tech special effects. Curiously, I found this technical transparency part of the film's enormous charm.
– Andrew Sarris,
New York Observer,
25 May 2006
fresh:
Chen Kaige clearly intended this Chinese fantasy-action spectacle to top Zhang Yimou's Hero, and I must admit that I prefer it to the earlier movie.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,

rotten:
The Promise is too full of frenetic disconnection and arbitrary comings and goings to connect meaningfully with the hearts and minds of its audience.
– Stephen Hunter,
Washington Post,
5 May 2006
fresh:
With The Promise Chen Kaige has proven enough of a professional that he can make the product. But he remains too much of an artist not to scribble on his signature.
– Geoff Pevere,
Toronto Star,
5 May 2006
rotten:
Chen's strength seems to be more with character-driven stories; here's hoping that his next film returns to more comfortable ground.
