Great Cinematography and the 3 Chinese actresses as Japanese was pulled off masterfully. From someone who's lived in Japan, Zhang Ziyi's performance was breathtaking.

despite what some of the other reviewers have said, i think this has a fair bit of depth - certainly much more than something like house of flying daggers. i thoroughly enjoyed it. the score is fantastic and the world of the geishas is captivating.

This movie wasone of the best adaptations from book to film. I was thoroughly engrossed in the stunning cinema photography and the fine acting by young Sayurin in particular. The music score was moving as well as the romantic story.

I can't understand why a lot of people complain about the chinese playing japanese characters, and speaking in inglish and stuff, if you don't like that kind of movie, just don't go to see it. It's a chick flick, and its good...

Like a sumptuous, lavish, stunningly produced Lifetime movie. A thin plot, terrible dialogue, poor acting but incredible to look at.

Oscar-Worthy. Gong Li and Ziyi Zhang once again prove that they are the greatest actresses in the world.

Pretty good movie, at times impressive cinematography (opening scene), a very promising young "lead" actress, a movie I would be glad to see again.

Many reviews missed the point ... to expect a movie about a Geisha to be as "exciting" as "Chicago" is to pan the Mormon Tabernacle Choir becasue they can't dance like Madonna in their videos.

Better if the characters spoke in Japanese. It also emphasized on the less-important scenes longer then the important ones. Other then that, not bad

Best film of the year. Highly recommended. If you want to know what great acting is, please watch Gong Li and Zi Yi in this movie and all their other movies. They are the greatest actresses in the world.

Been a while since I have seen this but I remember I liked it so much I want to watch it again now. I'm so glad they didn't feel like they had to have some flying karate master in here with a sword. Beautifully done and acted!

Absolutely loved it. A fantastic love story. Great characters. A little long but it pays off at the end. It may not be the best American-Japanese movie but it tries and kind of succeeds.

Simply from a visual standpoint, it is a masterpiece. While some thought it was boring and not engaging, I thought everything went smoothly. The melodramatic performances are what made it better in my opinion, and the story is interesting.

A lot of critics with sticks up their asses that just want to **** on movies because they think it makes them edgy. This movie is way better than its critic review give it credit for.

Based on a novel, the story tells the intimate side, with great fidelity, of the geishas supported by an excellent costume design, and the music of Yo-Yo Ma and I. Perlman. It will not be a movie of all time but with some patience it looks good.
