Trama e commenti: cinema.tipiace.it - cinema.goup123.com - delcinema.it: «Film epico stravagante ma stucchevole ed esageratamente melodrammatico, ambientato nella Cina dell'XI secolo, su un giovane (Sato) che si trova coinvolto in varie avventure e si innamora di una principessa. Le tanto decantate scene di battaglia sono ben fatte, ma non reggono il confronto con quelle di altri film (per esempio Kagemusha e Ran di Kurosawa)».
