Critics Sentiment
Flying Daggers attack Jin and Mei in the bamboo forest
The final battle continues through changing seasons to its end
The film drops significantly from the acclaimed bamboo forest sequence to the criticized overlong final battle
House of Flying Daggers starts strong with universally praised visual spectacle and choreography, particularly the bamboo forest sequence. The film maintains good momentum through its romantic development and plot twists, but loses steam in the final act where critics found the extended battle sequence dramatically exhausting despite its visual beauty.
