Movie Haiku:Huge disappointment! Splendiferous epic somehow wastes all the right elements. Are we alone in thinking this would have been much better if everyone had spoken Japanese instead of stilted English? Ziyi stars as a poor girl who nevertheless rises to the top of her profession on the eve of WWII.
