[gopunk]

nah, it's a chinese epic... it's got some really nice fight scenes. jet li is in it.

Did you rent it or is a Divx?

 

[Adrian Tung]

It's a very "artsy" kind of film, not to the liking of some people. To me it was great though, I liked the storytelling and fighting sequences.

Here are some pics

The movie is pretty good! The scenery is really awesome! Plus, the fight scenes look better than Crouching Tiger. The only remnant from Crouching Tiger is Zhang Zi Yi.

The storyline is told in a "unique" way, but its kinda boring for me. Fight scene is cool though.

Can someone explain the story? I just watched it... and I didn't quite understand some of that antiquated mandarin they used...

I have english subtitles for the movie if you want.


*******SPOILER*******************

So Jet li at the beggining wants to pretend that he killed all 3 enemies of the emperor to get the rewards and as an act of good faith.
Then the emperor says "BS!! The died for you so you could get within 10 steps from me and use your super 10 steps killer moves".
Jet li then says "You are mistaken. Broken Sword actually is your ally and he didn't want to kill you" Jet li rethinks about the "All under one heaven" and decides not the kill the emperor so he can conquer all states and unify China. When Jet Li leaves all the emperor's people cry for Jet Li's head. I guess the emperor wanted to save face and decides to kill Jet Li. That's why at the end they say that "Nameless" was killed as a villian but he died as a Hero. He is a Hero cuz he didn't kill the emperor, and hence he was able to unify China.

 

[Chubbz]

looks like the Chinese Matrix

 

[cchen]

ohhhh... i was confused about why everyone was dying and then alive....

 

[Hoeboy]

pretty good movie although the fight scenes look a lil bit weird since it's more like they're performing. the story has a bit of twist in it and the reason w hy it seems like everyone dies and lives again is because there's a lot of story telling on how that event actually happened. the dvd with subtitled is already out somewhere. probably gotta import it or something.
