Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

dworldeater Three Kingdoms-ROTD is a kick ass Chinese historical epic taking place in the Three Kingdoms era of ancient China. The film is a reflective story taken from Zhao Yun's(or Zilong) perspective focusing on his life and his accomplishments in battle. Portraying the brave general Zhao Yun is Andy Lau. He gives a tremendous performance and is one of HK's top stars. He is quite prolific as an actor and gives great performances in many different genres. There also is an excellent support cast featuring Sammo Hung(who also is action choreographer), Maggie Q, Yu Rong Gong and the great Ti Lung as Guan Yu. This period action piece flows well with heavy doses of savage action and a brisk pace. Sammo's action choreography is top notch and the battle scenes are great with a good amount of blood spilled. The film looks awesome as well with great camera-work and tight editing. The dramatic side of this is super solid and in my opinion director Daniel Lee did a hell of a job in making this. Although this is smaller in scope than John Woo's Red Cliff, it is still epic, large scope film. However, as amazing a cinematic experience that Red Cliff is, Three Kingdoms ROTD is a film I end up watching more often as this film is just under two hours and Red Cliff clocks in at about six hours. Both film are absolutely awesome and I recommend both highly. This film is a few years old now and it really holds up, in fact I found myself enjoying this more upon rewatching it.

nolo_rolo I am American, but I know a little Chinese history. I think you could know nothing of Chinese history and this movie is spectacular. The acting, the cinematography, the plot. I don't too much like kung-fu movies, this is not that, this is drama, and action, and just unbelievable too me. I am now going to watch red cliff and any other Chinese movie about the dynasties. If Chinese keep making good movies like this American action movies will pale in comparison and only simpleminded people will enjoy all those cliché one liners and everybody lives fairy tale endings. So if you are looking for empty cliché Hollywood type acting like mainstream Hollywood this is not for you. If you understand and appreciate movies like apocalypse now for their acting and overall quality, then just throw action like "300" on top of that and a storyline that requires you to actually follow and makes sense then this movie is for you.

Ark 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.

tianxu1988 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.
