I like this movie because you can see some traditional chinese in it, and some strategy you could learn in those famous events.

they should really have hired industrial light and magic to do the special effect. I mean the CG in the film is so crude that the video games can get to that level within 2 years, and I m not talking about the in game movies, the game itself.

The historical aspects of the costume design were very well done, they seemed to have done a great amount of research in the production and costume departments. But the film was a bit of a disappointment in terms of cinematography, editing and special effects. There were beautifully shot scenes, but look of the film was very inconsistent. In some of the closeup shots u can see the makeup was really badly done, and some of the CGI was very fake. I was hoping for something alot better than this.

For all you English speaking ppl who are scared off by walls of Chinese txt, here is some info about this: This movie is based on a historic battle during the dawn of "3 kingdoms" period in China around 200AD (when Roman empire starts to decline). And Chinese ppl know more about the history of this period than anything else (I think). Politically, the battle resembles your "Union vs the Confederate", as the "Union" in northen china holds the more legitimate power and substantially more powerful

but the outcome and tactical aspect of the battle is more like "Battle of the midway" or "battle of agincult" The North and the South are divided by a huge river. The North, like Japan, came down to a weakened South with alleged 800,000 (mostly real standing armies, not peasants or levys, men-in-arms)strong army and naval force to crush south's navy and land at south, and the South has 1/10th of that amount. but using fire and wind, South prevailed, North's fleet was gone,land invasion canceled.

The Movie itself promised an action similar to 300, similar situation, and the "300" side actually won. There are love affairs (Marrying princess to foreign king, the sexy wives of the South) There are real magics (Meteorology actually) Director is John Wu (Face/Off, and Mission: Impossible 2) and the Cast is Huge, you may have never seen them, but key characters are all played by Chinese George Cloney / Matt Damon equivalents. Budget of the film 800 mil. about 100mil US.

after 3 kingdom period, China is united briefly again under the name of "Jin". DUring which time, saw the invention of true stirrups, which eventually spread to the Middle East and Europe, initiating the dominance of Knights and Feudal society, which is to last for hundreds of years.
