This could have been a great movie. However, its confusing plot, and melodramatic pauses result in it being little more than an endlessly underachieving monotonous epic bore. The setting during an interesting period in Chinese history held a lot of promise, but the dialogue too often degenerated into uninteresting drivel. The battle scenes came across as ridiculously fake and implausible. The film did have a couple of redeeming factors. The costumes were sumptuous and made me feel that my twenty first century wardrobe might be lacking in something. Furthermore, some of the sets projected a real sense of the era being depicted. Unfortunately, the computer generated images seemed to lack the depth of field and believability that one would expect even from a computer game. Despite its few strengths, I would recommend giving this one a miss.
