Well, if I am not mistaken the story is a remake of a 70's Shaw Brothers movie. I think its based during the Taiping Rebellion which nearly overthrow the Manchu's government until the the Ching Dynasty asked help from the western powers to quell the rebellion by setting up a modern army called "The Ever Victorious Army". OK enough of history, if this movie followed the old one, after the wars the three sworn brothers become generals and powerful in the government. At the end I think they fight each other because of a women. I forgot whether the women is the first brother or the second brother wife but basically one stole the others wife and killed him and the youngest brother came for revenge. Maybe this story will be different.
Hey, that doesn't sound bad at all -- its a great story indeed

If my guess is correct (according to the trailer), then its gonna be:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Takeshi is the brother that is with the western powers, possibly the youngest brother. He came back to take revenge on his dead brother.
Jet Li is the bad brother that stole the wife.
Andy Lau is the brother that at first was with the wife, then killed by Jet Li.
Well, that's just my predictions lar, no spoiler at all because I haven't watched yet, or even the old movie

I hope there's gonna be some special effects like in HERO (Jet Li).
Yes, I'm a huge fan of special effects and computer graphics movies
