i was the supre fans of chen kai-ge after i watched "farewell to my concubine" that stared by leslie cheung and directed by chen. its really create the peak of his movie career and everybody is looking forward for his next achievement after years.

then here come "the promise" from chen, star by zhang dong jian (korea), du bian qian (jap), zhang bo zhi and xie ting feng (hk). chen has emphasize the different and request not to watch and compare with "farewll to my concubine".

my bil told me that he almost go off when the movie is shown half way, i just cant imagine that such a famous star team, famous director and huge amount of making expenses, will bring an outcome of such a lousy comment. so i decide to watch it.

errr.... i admited is not as good as others in team of story. the story does not convince people, while the simple animation trick like the slave that acted by zhang dong-jian can run as fast as superman, and he is pulling zhang bo-zhi like a kite. its does not come with sense of humour but show immature.

despate of the over-acting animation and unconvincing story, the only attraction of the movie is the scenery like snow field, dessert, flower safari, wooden house beside pool. this still show the hard work of chen on seeking for another peak.
