Yes, I did and wrote some thoughts in the review thread. Looking back, the visual is still great, but the weakness in story became more glaring. _________________Recent watched movies: American Hustle - B+ Inside Llewyn Davis - B Before Midnight - A 12 Years a Slave - A- The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - A- My thoughts on box office

I loved Curse of the Golden Flower (A-). After renting it, I ended up buying it. In my Top 5 of 2006, along with Pan's Labyrinth (A+), Children of Men (A), Babel (A-), and Dead Man's Chest (B+).
Gong Li is one of my favorite actresses, and she's great in this. Easily my favorite character from the film. I didn't like it as much as Hero (A+) or House of Flying Daggers (A) though. Those two films are easily on my top of all time list.
I really like the ending for Curse.

Re: Curse of the Golden Flower Quite good, but overall just quite boring. I did learn some useful Chinese though. Gong Li was fantastic, and gorgeous.
Hero was better. Not seen House of Flying Daggers yet.
