good story
The story was of interest had lots of action which is important . The
design of the costumes where excellent.The location was as if they where really back in that time.The action parts looked so real as if they where really hitting and killing one another.When you see a movie of this culture you can really ask yourself about your own ideas and culture. Would I have the strength to stand by my culture as much as they did in the movie. i may say yes but who really knows until they are faced with that kind of situation and problem.Anyway I just like the action movies.

Good Film - Read Your History First
I picked up this Blu Ray on a whim because it was on sale on BB site for $5. Great production, beautiful sets, grandiose scenes. The only problem is if you don't know your Three Kingdoms history (Chinese history) you will find yourself lost immediately as I was. Unfortunately I read the history afterwards and that is when the plot made sense.

Another good 'sort of historical' epic
Chow Yun Fat brings a certain gravitas to his roles, whether lighter fare like Bulletproof Monk or more serious roles like this one, and he's a very skilled and likeable actor. I'm sure some (or a lot) of the cultural context is lost on me, but I found it worth jumping in for this one. Very entertaining.
