* HistoricalVillainDowngrade: One of the film's biggest problems is that it tries to villainize the Boxers without actually ''showing'' any of the things they did to warrant such a characterization beyond fighting the European powers, meaning that most viewers will likely root for them to defeat the imperialists and get their country back. Had the film depicted some of the Boxers' RealLife atrocities, such as openly calling for the genocide of all non-Chinese, massacring peaceful European missionaries and their families who had little to do with China's plight (including one infamous case in Taiyuan where 44 foreigners from missionary families were lured into Boxer territory with the promise of safety and then lynched when they arrived), and engaging in religious persecution of Christians, including burning down churches and murdering thousands of fellow Chinese for the "crime" of converting to Christianity, then this problem could have been avoided.
