In 208 A.D., in the final days of the Han Dynasty, shrewd Prime Minster Cao convinced the fickle Emperor Han the only way to unite all of China was to declare war on the kingdoms of Xu in the west and East Wu in the south. Thus began a military campaign of unprecedented scale. Left with no other hope for survival, the kingdoms of Xu and East Wu formed an unlikely alliance.

I've seen the shortened version a few times, but this is my first time with the full/original version... and honestly, it's even better. There's just more fantastic performances from this amazing cast, and everything is richer and more lush.

It's an awesome epic ancient move full of action, drama, wisdom, military strategy, and humor mostly from Zhuge Liang (it's very Sherlock like). That being said, this movie is LONG, like, 2 parts equal up to almost 5 hours. DO NOT WATCH THE SHORT CUT or DUB VERSION. Take your time to enjoy the pacing and morale storytelling in one afternoon.

Two men aggressively playing the zither at each other as a symbol of military and political unity is the promise of cinema finally achieved.

John Woo helms an ambitious, crowded interpretation of the large-scale military actions that plagued China at the end of the Han Dynasty. While its epic, sweeping scale might be the film's greatest strength, I was often too preoccupied with following the encyclopedically long-winded subtitles to More
