The Taking of Tiger Mountain Ratings & Reviews
Punch Drunk Critics
Julian Lytle
So The Taking of Tiger Mountain is something you should really not go out of your way to see, it's probably worth looking for the English translation of the novel or if you can read mandarin read it that way.
MUBI
John Lehtonen
The film never lingers too heavily, and for all the story contrivances Tsui manages to quite deftly balance his impulses. Moments of tension or fear dissipate into the spectacle, only to reemerge again.
The Young Folks
Nathanael Hood
It doesn't matter if said story is preposterous patriotic grandstanding-the film is a work of proud cultural myth-making. See it. And when you do, make sure it's in 3D.
Killer Movie Reviews
Andrea Chase
a thrill-packed adventure with soldiers on skis, murderous plot twists, precipitous zip-lining, and cut-throat mah jong
The Dissolve
Noel Murray
Tsui fulfills his primary goal here of making a classic newly relevant-not just to younger Chinese viewers, but to anyone who likes action.
Film Comment Magazine
Grady Hendrix
In an ironic twist worthy of an opera, the very same young people who are being criticized are the ones who have bought the tickets that made this film a hit.
Slant Magazine
Jeremy Polacek
Cheery and happily empty-headed, the present-day subplot adds little but sentiment to a film shot through with clich characters, a predictable plot, and undisguised reverence.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
With its fanfare score, the movie has a nationalistic, didactic flavor and a tiresome devotion to spectacle. Even the climax is staged two ways.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Its slow-going opening stretch and assorted mawkish subplots might just be the price a viewer has to pay for the sight of Yang and Hawk slugging it out in a biplane as it careens down a seemingly endless escape tunnel ...
RogerEbert.com
Peter Sobczynski
This lavish period piece contains enough thrills, spills and moments of cinematic grace that not only manage to push it through the rough spots but allow it to put most American action films of recent vintage to shame.
Variety
Maggie Lee
This account of the People's Liberation Army's strategic ambush of a bandits' lair delivers sinewy battles and twisty espionage with a husky northern flavor.
Los Angeles Times
Martin Tsai
So when Tsui revises and redoes the climactic showdown for the sake of entertainment value, you wonder if the Hong Kong-based filmmaker writes off the whole thing as revisionist history written by victors.
Film Journal International
Daniel Eagan
A big-budget spectacle overflowing with patriotic action, the movie may strike Western viewers as too impersonal and propagandistic.
Village Voice
Simon Abrams
Proves disarmingly entertaining thanks to a Tsui specialty: spectacular fight scenes.
