GREAT FIGHT SCENES!!!
THIS IS A GREAT MOVIE, GREAT FIGHT SCENES, IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL, GREAT COSTUMES, BEAUTIFUL SETS, I LOVED IT. AND IT WASN'T CHEASY LIKE OTHER FILMS WITH THEIR "BEGGAR CLAN" AND STUFF. I RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE WHO LIKES FILMS LIKE "HERO", "CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON", "CURSE OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER" ETC. THE LEADING ACTOR "ANDY LAU" WAS GREAT, HE WAS ALSO IN "HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS". I WAS NOT DISSAPOINTED, AND YOU WON'T BE EITHER.
not as good as Red Cliff
It is a nice to have movie for a kung fu movie fan but it is not up to the level of Red Cliff. And it does not stick to the real story. In the reality, the general just died form old age and Cao Cao never had a daughter that was a martial art expert.
A movie worth watching
Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon brings to the screen the story of a Chinese warrior who enlists in his kingdom's army in order to help bring about peace to his homeland.
It's 228 AD and China is divided into three kingdoms warring with one another for total control. The warrior Zhilong, through his superior fighting skills and strategic abilities will rise through the ranks of the army of the Kingdom of Shu and become General in hopes of ending the years of war and division that have decimated the realm.
The film combines drama, action, and adventure following in the footsteps of other great Chinese films of recent years.
Moreover, the fascinating culture and traditions of China are presented very well in the film, which in turn opens a window into the mysterious Orient.
The cast have carried out their performances very well, with their great talent and chemistry clearly showing, thus providing for an entertaining film
The plot, the setting, the dialogues, the music, the battle sequences, and the costumes are all very good.
In conclusion, Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon is definitely worth watching, while for some truly amazing Chinese films try the following: A Battle of Wits, Seven Swords, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, The House of Flying Daggers, The Promise, and Hero.
Bad repersentation of a great story.
This is a poorly written, and directed take on "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is a historical novel that is considered one of China's most important novel. The story follows a warrior named Zhao "Zilong" Yun. The fist half of the movie is decent at best, the action scenes are poorly directed because it's difficult to tell what is going on. The second half of the movie, which completely abandons its historical source and follows some completely made up story where Zhao Zilong fights a fictional female general. The story jumps around from year to years and lacks any real emotional impact. Overall this movie was a horrible experience and a shame to the Three Kingdoms story itself.
You should get "Red Cliffs" which is a movie that is also based on the Three Kingdoms, that came out around the same time as this one, is much, much better, and actually historical.
Shallow
(1.) See "Red Cliff" series - well, you probably already have so you are aware of the comparison (fair or unfair as it may be).
(2.) Great acting and good photography and setting although how a desert water worn gully should figure into this bit of China's history is beyond me.
(3.) The isolated small temple with dirt ramp was a bit theatrical and cheap.
(4.) The swords and spears and other techy weapons look cutesy-decorative but don't instill much historical confidence in the viewer.
(5.) The fighting, blood etc. was pretty typical ho-hum.
There's not much more to the movie as it was not meant to be an historically accurate recreation but an interpretation.
Overall: Shallow, disjointed and forgettable.
