Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

RocDot I mean, really? Come on! Even if you took the 'advanced' course of Evelyn Wood speed-reading to try and keep up with the ADHD hyperactive captions, forget it! I just found it all too unbelievable, aside how the little China females buzz about in their typical high-pitched silly, fidgety, excited, frantic, frenetic, frenzied, adrenalized, fever-pitched chatter. "Got Sedative?" Sheesh. For it to be any good in this country is would have to be dubbed in English. No one here wants to sit through turbocharged caffeinated pumped captions!!

iMan JavaheryPour The Flowers of War. The name of this movie is chosen perfectly. Several moments during the show, I was about to weep, to shout and cry along the girls. It is so touching. It is so beautiful. Another masterpiece of Zhang Yimou. It comes with beautiful visuals, pleasant musics. As the signature of Yimou, the colour and sound play very well in entire movie. The war scenes are so cruel, so brutal and horrible in terms of conveying and showing the nature of wars. The rape scenes are so so terrifying. And at the end, what you think is, shame on us, on all of humans that make the earth a very unsafe and horrible place for women and children. Thanks to all crew for making this excellent movie.

yogecaja The movie is telling about the war of the China and Japan in the period of 1937.Every war has lots of hard things,that is the law of the war or the tradition of the war.In this movie also there are lots of hard and bad things happening between those how the children survive from those is the simple story of this movie.Movie is created with some characters like Jhon,Mo ,Shu,George,Commander,Young soldier,Shu's father and other small characters.Those characters are did their work in every part.Important one is every small character get some importance in this movie.Jhon came for the father's funeral and how he help to escape the Chinese students with the help of the prostitutes and Geroge.Don't think about the film which is making the Japanesh as bad guys.If any it was a war in other place of world also face these kind of problem.Bale is an outstanding actor fro his young age on words.He does his part in this part very well.This movie tell about some truth of the war.

Charchit Gupta Watched this movie thrice before writing this review. I must say that it is one of those rare movie which leave an impact over your mind and heart. It shows that how a war can trigger big changes in people's behavior as well as in their lives. The story was so heart whelming that I had to search for the real inspiration behind it and know the actual event that took place. May be the movie got more attention due to the presence of a popular Hollywood star Charistian Bale, but every person who have watched this movie will agree that all the Chinese actors and specially actresses have done a commendable job.Loved Ni Ni and her work, she looks Beautiful! Now I can say that I truly admire Chinese movies.
