Recently,, Chinese film director Feng Xiaogang's much anticipated Beijing premiere of his martial arts epic "The Banquet" starring Zhang Ziyi was held on Saturday, receiving both kudos and criticism.
Known in Chinese name "Yeyan", the film is a loose adaptation of "Hamlet" set in ancient China's Five Dynasties and Ten States period (907-979).
The complicated plot unfolds with Emperor Li assuming the throne after ruthlessly killing the reigning monarch who was his own brother. The Empress who was married to murdered monarch is forced to marry Li but actually loves her stepson Prince Wan'er, who is assumed to be Li's next target. The Empress gets revenge by poisoning Emperor Li at a banquet but her lust for power and the prince finally leads to her destruction.
The audience and critics praised the high production values of the film along with the emotional performances of Zhang Ziyi and Ge You.
Critics complain, however, that the dialogue is stilted and awkward as the actors mouth modern phrases that don't fit the movie's ancient time frame. The audience was heard to laugh at a few of the lines even though they were not meant to be funny.

近日,我们期盼已久的中国导演冯小刚的武侠大戏「夜宴」,在北京首演。女明星章子怡接受了媒体对此片的表扬与批评的考验.
“夜宴”的名子是根据外国著名小说“哈姆。雷特”改编而成。发生在中国古代的五代十国时期之间。(907-979)。
其中的故事情节很复杂, 五代十国时期,先帝离奇驾崩,厉帝篡位,并将年轻貌美的婉后、太子无鸾的继母据为己有。无助的太子陷入愤怒之中并决意复仇。心怀不轨的大臣殷太常觊觎皇位和皇后的美貌,一直寻找机会篡位夺权,陷入了争斗的旋涡。
    观众的高度赞扬了这部电影里章子怡在情绪方面的出色表现。
批评者抱怨,电影里的对话都很虚假和笨础。从演员里说出来现代版的话,与当时的时代背景很不相符。 观众笑声不断但这不并不是因为电影很幽默。
