Three Kingdom!!!

Latest movie that I just went to watch the other day! I am going to write out the preview, cause I am a big fan of the three kingdoms!

Here we go...



The movie starring Andy Lao as Zhao Zilong, the main character in the movie, Sammo Hung as Ping Ann the sworn brother of Zilong also as the movie's action director and Maggie Q as Cao Ying, Cao Cao's granddaughter which is the bad guy in the movie.

Story Line

Movie started with the birth of the warrior of the Shu's kingdom, Zhao Zilong.
He fought countless battles for his king, Liu Bei alongside with the King sworn brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Eversince he bought back the prince from being killed by the army of the other kingdom, he had been famous among his villagers and the king put 110% trustworthy onto him.

Fighting endless battles, he finally earned his high rank in the kingdom, as the 5 Greatest warriors which consists of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang and Wu.

He fought with Cao Ying at the climax's of the movie, he kill 4 sons of one of Cao Ying's general but leads the whole troop into the face of death thanks to someone who betray the family.

Endless army of Cao Ying against Zilong standing alone. He fight the battle himself at the end. Showing him with his horse ragging towards Cao Ying's troop is the full stop of the movie.

Pros

-Movie with great action with lines of great actors such as Andy Lau, Sammo Hung and Maggie Q.

-Lots of action, chopping off humans head, poking a sword into a soldier's stomach, blood shedding everywhere!

-Movie base on history of the three kingdom, the most interesting history of all time. Great warriors like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Bei etc came to LIFE!

-For die hard fans of the game, dynasty warriors, you would probably love this movie a lot, especially when you can see the character you love inside the game came in a form of real guy!

But then...

Cons

-Movie consists too much fake characters, there is no such character in the real history name Cao Ying (Cao Cao's granddaughter), she does not even exists! Whereby in the movie, she's the center of attention in the end!

-Explosives in the movie does not make any sense, At 200 AD, people already start producing explosives?

-Zilong, the great warrior, die because of old age, around 70-75 (as written down) NOT BECAUSE OF KILLED IN A BATTLE. His last fought battle in the killing of the the four sons and the father! Whereby in the movie the father (general of Cao Ying) died because of the explosion.

-The real fact, Zilong never lose even one battle! In the movie, he lost his final battle!

-The costume inside the movie, soldiers look more like Japanese soldiers compare to Chinese, what's the director comment? "Japanese soldiers being influence by Chinese's soldiers.
