Before watching this, I thought I would watch it bit by bit during a whole week, maybe in 5 sessions. Eventually, I watched both movies (about 5 hours along) just in one day! It shows that the duration is definitely not an issue and I was definitely entertained from the start until the end. It may sound strange but while watching it, I thought it was some kind of Asian version of 'The Lord of the ... read more

This is a big war movie, "Lord of the Rings" style, based on one of the most famous stories from the start of the Three Kingdoms period in Chinese history. The tyrannical Cao Cao has convinced the feeble emperor to make him Prime Minister and let him lead an expedition to conquer the independent southland. The movie follows the creation of an alliance between the freedom-loving kingdoms of Wu and ... read more

I watched part I and part II. Most people would greatly enjoy the theatrical version (ok not me.). I absolutely loved Takeshi Kaneshiro as Zhuge Liang, so the more the better. He was also in House of the Flying Daggers. *drool*. So if you like, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragons, Hero, and House of the Flying Daggers then move this to the top of your list.

Description: n 208 A.D., in the final days of the Han Dynasty, shrewd Prime Minster Cao Cao convinced the fickle Emperor Han the only way to unite all of China was to declare war on the kingdoms of Xu in the west and East Wu in the south. Thus began a military campaign of unprecedented scale, led by the Prime Minister, himself. Left with no other ... (more)

"6.5.12. PC John Woon viimeisin ylistetty megaeepos jää ainakin minulle tämän ensimmäisen osan perusteella täydeksi mysteeriksi. Totaalisesta pystymetsästä alkava elokuva ei esittele hahmojaan (etunenässä Tony Leung ja Takeshi Kaneshiro) ja koostuu pääasiassa vain paskanjauhannasta muinaisen Kiinan hovijuonitteluiden parissa. Historiallista eeposta vastaan minulla ei ole mitään, mutta epävetoavaa ja pääasiassa tylsään pönötykseen tukeutuvaa historiallista eeposta vastaan mi"

"5.5. AMÖRIIKKÄ-CUT (en edes tiennyt, että tällainen on olemassa, ja jos olisin tiennyt, niin en vitussa olisi tätä katsonut) Tylsää patsastelua, jossa ylistetään Kiinan mahtavuutta. Tämmöiset epookit viimeistään pilasivat koko Hong Kongin elokuvateollisuuden, koska ne tuntuvat olevan niin iso askel taaksepäin kaikessa mahdollisessa, ja kaikki isot tekijänimet siirtyivät vain ja ainoastaan näiden pariin. Ylistetään valtiota ja apinoidaan tekniikka Amerikasta ja hohhoijak"
