An empress and the warrior(jiang san mei ren)


A movie by Leon Lai and Kelly chan. It also starring by Donnie Yen. The story takes place during the time of the Warring States, when the kingdom of Yan is defending itself against an invasion by the Zhao. Kelly Chen plays the Yan king’s daughter, Yan Feier, who is forced to take on the role of monarch when her father dies suddenly because of the nephew try to take over the country. Although her father had bestowed the honour of leading the Yan kingdom on the fierce General Muyong (Donnie Yen), she hesitantly accepts the role to avoid a civil war, because two factions have appeared in the military ranks, one led by the loyal General Muyong and the other by the king’s murderously ambitious nephew, Wu Ba (Guo Xiaodong).
Wu Ba tries to kill Feier before her coronation, but she escapes injured into the forest and is rescued by mysterious stranger Duan Lanquan (Leon Lai), who lives alone in the forest, in what looks like an Ewok village (serious!). The two eventually fall in love but when trouble breaks out in the Yan kingdom, Feier is forced to return home.
The best part of the movie is the song in the middle. Fighting scene by Donnie Yen.
The story is just too simple.

Overall 6.5/10 story 5/10 Song 7.5/10 action 7/10
