Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon

I've just watched this show, which ended about 1.5 hours ago.



And yes, now is 3am in the morning. Yes, i watched a midnight show, with my cg.

I will just depict the storyline, in my own words, here.

It's a Chinese story of how a rookie soldier, 赵子龙(Andy Lau) succeeded beyond his senior 罗平安(Sammo Hung), and rose up to be a legendary fighter in war, and the relationship between him and his senior, how it progres.. Deteriorate over the span of time of est 30 years. What entails is the history of how feudal lords of 3 states come together to unit China eventually, and how they fought to get the whole country together.

In the show, Andy Lau (or AL) joined the Army headed by Sammo Hung (or SH), because he wanted to bring peace to his state, and in the process of years, killed many enemy troops. While fighting one of the battles, the enemy is 曹婴 (Maggi Q or MQ) who aims to capture AL alive.

STOP!

Anyway, i'll save the details, if u really wanna watch the show. Overall, this show deserves a + out of +++++, in my opinion.

I'm not one who particularly like war epics. And compared with another show of Andy's (MO-GONG) in the same genre, i'd prefer Mo-gong anyday.

And what's with SH acting like a coward, and betrayal towards his fellowmen huh?! He's the martial arts director for this movie! And he's made to look like a total idiot who doesn't give any qualms about betraying his group for Glory and position. Geez.

MQ's role in the show isn't much, just that she shows her face in the last half hour of the show, playing a 琵琶 with fake long nails, long hair and furry clothings. Her killer-eyes just show the right amount of 杀气 required in her role. At some angles, she resembles Sun .

If u like this genre of shows, u might probably wanna watch. What's intriguing about this show is about the relationship between AL and SH - brotherhood, and Loyalty where AL's subordinates died in battle for glory. (A brother would rather die than betray his brother, right? And the ending just shows how vulnerable relationships can be. Words are cheap. U have to Action on it.)

Common grace about loyalty is present in this show, but how cheap words can be are also reflected.
