Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Expected more

Awesome Movie

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

On the surface this movie had everything. Sammo Hung directing the fight scenes and acting in a major role. Maggie Q in a Chinese speaking action role. Some amazing scenery and sets.But sadly it is quite a dull movie, probably because the direction and script were also dull. Chi Leung took an interesting story and made it boring. The action scenes were not bad but seemed to have no point to them. The story was hard to follow and at points you lose interest in it. Who is who is confusing and the characters are not well rounded out, so much so that this feels like a movie full of extras and no stars. Magge Q is excellent but too underused and her character is just not evil enough. Any Lau may as well not have been in the movie as he is as dull as can be.So a wasted opportunity when this could have been so much better.

I think this movie is about heroes that doesn't get a step back from no enemy. It has his moments where like a metaphor try to show that a courage of one man can make much more to bow to him and be defeated. Zilong is a true hero a idealistic soldier who fight for peace, his village, his lord and a dream of a family in a safe world. Andy Lau does a very good role here in the first part is young and fearless and doesn't seem so wise but when he look much older after 32 years he is just great a general who is like a rock unmovable, undefeated and named The Invicible General.I really like the epic moments when he is facing a army alone and he is going to freely give his life on the battlefield. Samo Hung as Luo Ping-An he plays also good giving life to a character who is invisible to the others and not a hero like Zilong wanting to be much more then the destiny has in mind for him. And not the last Maggie Q is a strong feminine touch to the movie being a great strategist and a good warrior. The overall of the movie is don't miss it if u like war movies with heroes that doesn't fear death you will not be disappointed. The only drawback of the movie is the time much to less to present a truly epic feeling. He doesn't give enough time to all of the characters in the movie with much more potential. If it had like 160 minutes to show you each character as a great personality who fights for honor and strives to reach their goals it will really be a great movie.

The posted review for this film is a disgrace. I agree that It's not a very good film but the reviewer stunned me with his/her towering ignorance. Here's a few points: 1) The romance of the three kingdoms was not a civil war, China wasn't even a united country until afterwards when victory was attained.2) The reference to more modern British and Nazi helmets is idiotic. The similarity is to first world war helmets anyway so they would be German not Nazi for starters. Secondly everything in the film is traditionally Chinese so why are helmets any different. Thirdly there were no "goodies" or "baddies" so why do they want to subtly want to make us think that. Finally you don't think that two designs for protective headgear might just look similar.3) Agreed, poor (non existent) characters and objective story telling. But the romance of the three kingdoms is a story which spans many years and a number of lifetimes and has countless characters. It should really have been a trilogy or a series. They really bitten off more than they could chew.Before you go and write something make sure you at least have a clue what you're talking about please. I suspect too many reviewers on this site to have an extra chromosome or two. Come on and put in a little more effort eh.

Well, This is the first time that I came here. Actually, it is because of this movie made me come here! Because he is a Korean Director, I can bear and forgive his unknowns about the real and reasonable history of Three Kingdoms of Ancient China. But there is something I can't bear, and I am sure nobody had known Ancient China can bear.The costumes(or Amor), I am sure they are all Japannese Style! I am not want to cause any racism arguments, but it is Chinese History, what's hell you give the worries Japannese Amors? Can I shoot a movie about Civil War of US but give them Ancient European Amors? And also there are many many unreasonable details about the story. Our Forums have discussed how bad and how stupid about this story~~~~Well, I know most of u guys can't understand what I am saying. Overall, it is not a good story, but it may be a good WAR FILM which made people excited.
