What's tasty:
- It's based on a famous battle during the era of the Romance of the 3 Kingdoms (Probably the most famous Chinese story series. Think 3 Musketeers meets real historical events). Any whiteys remember the Romance of the 3 Kingdoms? Koei's old game series? Dynasty Warriors?
-War film
-Largest Chinese production era ever. (More than Hero, More than flying daggers, More than... you get the idea.)
- John Woo's attempt at a magnum opus. He gots to make up for Windtalkers. Fingers crossed.

Stars: Ill let the headshots speak for themselves amd the characters they will be playing. See if you recognize any of them.
Zhou Yu
Zhuge Liang
Liu Bei
Cao CaoThat's right. Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Chow Yun Fat AND Ken Watanabe all in the one film.
I for one enjoyed Crouching Tiger Hidden Boobs but its about time a blood and guts Chinese war epic comes out with less wire work and more grit. Yes, I thought Hero was full of hot air.
