This tale is an interesting version of a female Hamlet type love story that has its breath taking rises and falls as the story progresses. The costumes,uniforms, and background scenery the colors the padgentry is truly romantic and true to the age as well as the breath taking artistic input, it is simply a must see. The martial arts fighting scenes through-out the film, the flowing rythmic dance moves during the banquet, the tragic empothy you feel in each melody comes together so gracefuly without over shadowing the drive of the tale and feeling true to each scene. The icing to this marvelous mixture is the soul stirring theme song composed by Tan Dun titled "Only For Love", that plays prominently from the last scene through out most of the credits and the stiring vocals in Mandarin is a touch of class as this movie leaves you weeping and awe stricken for the ride you just took. It is incredible. The cast was strong and wholy satisfying in the portayal of the tale. I recommend srongly this movie to all of us who love a great story.Legend of the Black Scorpion ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Banquet of Blood *by A***P on March 6, 2008* The Good Things:*Actions scenes are pretty darn awesome. They are well-choreographed, have lots of slow-motion, and are quite bloody. Some of it even looks beautiful.*Filming style is good. It has plenty of good camera angles, and has a lot of vivid imagery.*Sets and costumes are very imaginatively designed.*Music is interesting.*Acting is good; characters are interesting, and it is easy to see how they correspond to Shakesphere's "Hamlet," from which the story is derrived.*Even though this is an adaptation of "Hamlet," it is a very different and liberal one. The story and characters stands well on its own.The Bad Things:*A little slow at parts.As with other great modern martial arts films (like "Hero," or "Shinobi"), this one has a very lavish, mesmerizing style and lots of impressive fight scenes. It is not quite Shakesphere, but it is definately artful martial arts. Even the bloody scenes are done with style; Stanley Kubrick would have been jealous. I would definately reccomend this to anybody who likes martial arts. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A visual feast *by T***R on August 24, 2008* Feng Xiaogang's The Banquet aka The Legend of the Black Scorpion certainly lives up to its reputation as one of the most beautiful looking films ever made. A spectacular Chinese adaptation of Hamlet filmed on an epic scale with no expense spared and with all the action scenes that Shakespeare forgot to write, it's clearly aiming to be another Hero, with nods to Akira Kurosawa's Japanese samurai Shakespeare films along the way. Although it never quite hits the same highs, it works surprisingly well, with Daniel Wu's Crown Prince brooding over his father's murder by his uncle while his former beloved Ziyi Zhang is consumed by revenge in her desire to kill the new emperor as courtiers plot and intrigue around them. With superb art direction by Tim Yip, excellent cinematography by Li Zhang, striking fight sequences courtesy of Yuen Wo-Ping at his best and a fine score by Tan Dun (Andrew Lloyd Webberish end title song notwithstanding) and filled with colour, light and movement, it's always a treat for the eyes and ears, especially in this 2.35:1 widescreen transfer. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/7754995-legend-of-the-black-scorpion](https://www.desertcart.it/products/7754995-legend-of-the-black-scorpion) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
