Warriors of Heaven and Earth
Added 5/10/2009
This is a story about a Chinese official that was sent to the western part of Tang's China to capture a renegade soldier that will be ultimately executed. Incedently, when a caravan transporting a Buddhist monk and a valuable treasure is threatened by thieves, the two warriors might unite to protect the travelers. Although anyone could say that this is predictable story, the sequences of scenes keep the audience in hold with the plot.
The movie cast is well balanced specially between Harrison Liu and Nakai(this one with a great stoic character).
In addition, the different settings where the film was shooted were really impressive in terms of variety of colors and landscape.
Finally the disc features such as the "Making of ...." are very interesting and gives to anyone, a good idea on how complex this kind of "simple" movie could be.
Is a good movie to anyone who loves chinese history related films and is well developed.

Not a Bad Title, But still expecting a bit more
Added 1/24/2009
I came up on this title after seeing Curse of the Golden Flower and was a bit dissapointed. The Grandeur that was expressed in the trailers was more than it really is for this movie but if you adjust your expectations you might enjoy it. Beautiful Scenery Great action Scenes although few and far between. This is more of a charater study movie than the action flick it was marketed as.

Beautiful Epic
Added 1/20/2009
This is my favorite movie. Its beautiful and the acting is fantastic. Compared to "Hero" I think the plot held up much better here, and the acting is beyond compare. I found I can almost follow it without subtitles (I dont speak Chinese at all) because the characters are so vivid.

Not nearly on the scale of some other Chinese epics
Added 10/11/2008
I bought this movie after reading some of the reviews on this site, & now I wish I hadn't. The movie is OK but if you really want to see this movie just buy the DVD. First of all the picture quality is not worth to get on Bluray. You don't get the awesome cinematography that you do in other Chinese epic films like 'Crouching Tiger', 'Hero' or 'Flying Daggers'. Second, the story is a little bit contrived and the characters not all that interesting. The scale of this movie & the way in which it was shot gives off the feeling that it's a B-rated flick in fact. If you really want to get this I will gladly sell you the one I bought for cheap.
