User Reviews

One of the Best period piece Films of all time

Action that’s just over-the-top enough to be fun. Builds to an epic ending battle.

A great and seemingly underrated, epic, and grand film.

The original release is much better then the European or Hollywood version. The battles are epic. A must see if you love Asian movies.

I absolutely loved this movie when I watched it for the first time. Definitely one of my favourite films of the late '00s.

An Epos in old China. The Art of War meets Steven Spielberg.

A detailed war epic filled with humour, romance, and mind-bending action. Incredible and criminally under-the-radar.

Some fun fight scenes, but that's literally it. If you're into the story, watch Three Kingdoms (2010).

I like this kind of war movies. For the fans of chinese history.

many great actors equels to a stupid history movie.
