Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
In the 19th century, the Prince Regent of the Qing Dynasty orders the mass execution of the entire Meng clan. Before his beheading, the leader vows that his family will avenge this travesty of justice. Awaiting his death, a five-year-old Meng boy named Erkui bravely sings an aria. The power and purity of his voice touches the opera star Master Yu and his seven-year-old pupil Guan Yilong. Master Yu rescues the boy and the two orphans become brothers. Years later, Master Yu wins the coveted golden "The Mightiest Warrior" plaque from the Prince Regent, but subsequently loses it in a duel with his archrival Master Yue. Banished from the stage upon his loss, Master Yu spends his time training the two brothers in the village. When the boys grow into men, they set off for Shanghai to pursue revenge. Once they reach Shanghai, they quickly defeat Master Yue, not only reclaiming the plaque but also taking over Yue's opera troupe. Almost overnight, they become sensations of the Shanghai opera scene along with Master Yue's former lover, Xi Mulan. But soon, their collective pasts catch up with them and all three end up in a complex web of love, lust, deceit, betrayal and revenge, ultimately ending in tragedy.
Leave your thoughts about My Kingdom.
| Slant MagazineAndrew SchenkerIf this oddly delineated narrative often falls between two stools, then the replacement of brightly bombastic opera battles with dimly lit, more conventional action sequences is a similarly unwelcome development. |
| The Hollywood ReporterMaggie LeeSumptuously clothed in vintage fashion, pop idols Wu and Hsu may bring in a younger crowd otherwise indifferent to the dated subject, but their performances are unimpressive. |
| Washington PostMark JenkinsDirector Gao Xiaosong doesn't do anything surprising with this melodramatic material, but the movie boasts sumptuous costumes and several nifty action sequences. |
| sbs.com.auDon GrovesCorny martial arts melodrama loses its kick. |
| New York TimesPaul BrunickThough its reverence for Peking Opera gives the film a thinly heritage sheen, its generic mix of backstage musical and swordplay spectacular is vintage discount bin. |
| User ReviewPeter WIt's very melodramatic but all the Opera Kung-Fu stuff is pretty badass. |
| User ReviewDerek Jchinese opera + wire-fu! but it's more than that, as you're whisked away to old shanghai in a period action drama following two brothers that's highly intriguing from start to finish! and big s barbie hsu has never looked so stunning (; |
| User ReviewPanta O"My Kingdom" is a tale about Beijing Opera - a specific form of opera with martial arts incorporated... the story begins when at the turn of the twentieth century, a Prince Regent who ruled China tries to solidify his rule executing whole clans of martial artists, including children. One boy, Meng Er-kui, sang as he was led to the headsman and was rescued and taken in by Master Yu Sheng-ying (Yuen Biao), to be trained and raised as a brother to Guan Yi-long. The beginning of the movie was very well done and I really enjoyed opulent costumes and elaborate recreations of 1920s Shanghai. There's not a frame that doesn't seem to have some sort of detail that makes the audience grin: from mysterious General Lu (Louis Liu) who lounges in the back of the theatre like something you'd see in a movie from the period to the two brothers' wardrobes who change from the traditional costumes of the rural Chinese to a more western hayseed look to Yi-long's spiffy suits and top hats. Very colourful backdrop with really amazing action scenes choreographed by the great Sammo Hung, are bringing interesting real "opera duels", where the object is much more to demonstrate smoothness of form than to inflict injury... But, there was heaps lacking in the chemistry of the actors - not all the casting was perfectly done! That's how we can go from the exceptional scenes like the battle between Yi-long & Er-kui and Yue (with Mu-lang on the periphery) to completely flat action skills of Barbie Hsu. One of the critics wrote that "My Kingdom" has weaknesses, and while it addresses them, it doesn't quite do so smoothly... and I agree with that 100%! The action peaks too early and it was quite high... which means that from there on everything was going downhill. But, still, if you have a chance, I'll say - watch it! |
| User ReviewJerome YA very typical story line with some nice twists... action-packed. I liked it for a setting in the early 90s when opera performances were probably the main form of entertainment for many. However, the movie seemed to lack a draw... I only took notice and decided to watch it after watching 2 other movies. |
| User ReviewTina Xone star for the action, another for the fancy dresses and make-ups. |
