Dudes... i'm gonna watch this today... 12.15pm show at gsc midvalley...

for the trailer check my signature

*spoilers ahead*

Ookayy... i've watched it like i said... overall i'd give it 7/10... it's probably not a very good film from a neutral point of view but who cares... it has zhou yun, the three brothers, the other tiger generals (albeit only for 2 seconds each), cao cao and some of his officers... but the best of all *gasp* zhuge liang !! his intro was waaayyy coooll !!

the plot differ from the novel of course but again.. what the heck... i absolutely love it when cao cao mutters his famous line... somewhere along the line "i'd rather betray the world then the world betray me", even though he was supposed to actually said that at a different time (when he butchered his uncle and the whole family).

btw... i really liked zilong and andy lau did a great potrayal of him... especially during his old days... but at one time in movie... zilong fought both guan yu and zhang fei to a standstill... no way man... the director overpowered him..

you don't get many movies based on the three kingdoms period... so dont waste this oppoturnity... the sound & music was pretty cool as well... so go to the cinemas instead of the cheap dvd they're selling rite now.

overpowered la
but then andy lau is definitely the best person to act zilong =D

go watch wit my friend, the hold movie all my friend also cursing the movie specially the chan peng onn. he cost the movie suck to the end....

as they say, if anyone who dunno three kingdoms history that may a very good movie but if u know three kingdom movie,,, it suck to end

this movie sucks...it just simply embarrass zhao yun.in fact he din lost in the battle but died of illness and guan xin and zhang bao never die in the battle field as well...it simply portrays the stupidity of zhu ge liang..kinda borin also...

I'm surprised by ppl complaining about the historical accuracy.

ivanau88.... i don't think the movie portrayed zhuge liang's stupidity... earlier in the movie... it actually showed his brilliance by winning the first battle through strategy... and he didn't mind putting his neck on the line (he offered his head in case of failure) because he was very sure it was going to rain... and he went off before the battle was over... like what sun zi said... a true strategist could predict the outcome of the battle even before fighting it (something like that).

btw... yeah the two bastards weren't suppose to die in that battle but they suck anyways (in the novel). Shu were declining, it was a sad thing that those two were the best Shu could offer.

Sorry to say, I am expecting the story as per history.

And the chang pan bo incident has made ah tou another coward. Uncle should just kill him at that time.

wufei... why do u refer liu bei as uncle??
aahh... i see... u must be a descendant of the hans. Or the emperor himself.
The 115th generation??

liu bei also known as liu hwang shu 劉皇叔mah

so aka uncle lor

most chinese are descendant of the Hans. Thats why we called ourselves the people of Han

You can get this from wiki.

i really want to watch this movie but i dont think it's worth watching in cinema now.. so i might as well wait for the dvd eh

*Spoilers Alert*

At the end when Andy Lau dies, his helmet turn into a UFO and fly Andy's soul into the unknown space. Then the a phase appear "... and his resurrection awaits..." on screen before the credits start rolling. I think Zhao Yun will be back in the part 2 with futuristic looks armed with machines guns and lasers..

if i watch this movie, the only thing bcoz Maggie Q is the actor hahaha... CUte2

Cut them some slack, this is a movie, not documentary.

Even if I don't know the Three Kingdoms history accurately, this movie is so-so only.

Character flits in and out of the movie too quickly to make any lasting impression. In the end, the viewer wouldn't care what happens to any of them, even to the hero!

Maggie Q is featured in the movie posters, but she only appears at the end if I remember correctly.

Added on April 15, 2008, 9:56 amYup, they should have made this into a sci-fi movie, haha!

Then you can add in some enjoyable but corny romance between Maggie Q and Andy Lau's characters also!
(like in anime, it's normal to fall in love with your bitter enemy who you desperately want to kill in the beginning)
