    A little confusing, and pretty vague. But the action scenes thankfully make up for that.

    The fight scenes weren't filmed well, and the pacing was bad too. I did like the locations though.

    Some good battle scenes especially one involving a baby but it was otherwise pretty boring. Also although i managed myself to keep up with the subtitles the other people i watched it with struggled and kept having to rewind and pause to read them especially at the start of the mo...( read more)vie.

    Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon is Daniel Lee's attempt at creating an epic costume style film. Well, this isn't bad, however it is far from epic.

    The story, while having a good concept, lacks great writing. I've read a review that mentions this film is like

    ...( read more) a long trailer. That may be exaggerating just a bit, but there is some truth to this. The first half tends to jump forward a bunch and thus makes the story span decades. By doing this for only the first half of the movie, the depth of the story and characters can only be so much. Thus, when the final half of the film is one long "Helm's Deep" confrontation, it lacks the buildup it needs to make this epic.

    Action fans will not be disappointed. There is quite a bunch of fights and while the big battles are nothing spectacular, when zooming in on 1 on 1 or 1 on many, the action gets good. The choreography is nicely done and the battle between Andy Lau and Maggie Q is pretty impressive.

    Andy Lau is no stranger to this type of film and he does what he has to do as the lead. Sammo Hung has a good character. He doesn't participate in any of the action, but he is the choreographer and that is why the martial arts fights are good. Maggie Q is one of the big names credited to this picture and her character is a major one in the story, however, other than a 2 second shot at the very beginning, she doesn't make an appearance to almost 2/3rds through this 100 minute picture.

    The action is there and so are the settings and costumes. All this movie needs is a little better writing to provide more to the story and characters.

    Three kingdom,,, I like this history

    Not everyone can direct those movies. Poor camera work, slow motion galore on every fight scene ruined for me. Most of the support cast are very poor actors and that did not help either.
