Super interesting

Military strategy isn't usually my cup of tea but everything is great about this movie: actors, story, set, costumes. I was captured completely by the intelligent maneuvers used by the waring factions. These are combined with Asian traditions which give the movie a more pensive counterpoint. John Woo redeemed himself as a director after all his pretentious American rubbish. Don't feel put off by subtitles, this movie is worth watching!
So so chinese epic

Visually stunning but the story is simplistic, boring and derivative. Action scenes are fine but there is nothing you have not seen before, unless you have a massive flat screen tv then I would avoid this one.
