a movie about romance

..of the three kingdoms. Just watched Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragons. It's an awesome movie that everyone who likes war epics ought to watch. The soundtrack was the best I've heard in a war movie, the cinematography was pretty and many scenes were awe-inspiring.

Just a few glitches
- it was too short
- I swear Cao Cao never had a granddaughter, much less one named Cao Ying who plays the pipa and commands an army
- The casting! Guan Yu had but a few strands of beard, Zhang Fei had pretty eyes (?!), Guan Yu's son was played by Vanness Wu (of F4 fame, go figure), Cao Cao had a sissy voice.
- Andy On's character sports dreadlocks (maybe he has jamaican blood)

and..

- Cao Cao was played by a guy named DAMIEN. That's just WRONG.

but seriously, this movie is hard to beat when it comes to san guo movies. I don't think even John Woo could beat this. Liu Dehua is prolific!
