Having watched quite a few epic battle films. I can safely say this, has the best, and I can't really see anything topping it. It rises above films like Gladiator, Lord of the rings, and Troy, because of the sheer creativity of the battle scenes.

Major disappointment after waiting for so long for it to come to Dallas! I still recommend seeing it, but it is really only for people who enjoy HK movies.

I still recommend seeing it, but it is really only for people who enjoy HK movies. I was expecting a new type of movie by Woo combining the techniques he learned in the US with his HK style. Another notch up in movie making like when he came to the US. Instead, it is as if he changed to someone else HK style devoid of his usual kinetic energy. There was not one moment in this movie that said "John Woo" has been here to me. For a HK movie it is pretty friggin' incredible and I have to admit that my score, instead of being weighted a little higher because it is a HK movie, is weighted a little lower because of my disappointment in the new Woo. Have a Merry Christmas!… Expand

AprÃ¨s son "sÃ©jour" hollywoodien (Broken Arrow, Volte/Face, Mission : Impossible 2, Paycheck), John Woo rentre enfin au pays en nous livrant un film chinois. Et ce que l'on peut lui reconnaÃ®treAprÃ¨s son "sÃ©jour" hollywoodien (Broken Arrow, Volte/Face, Mission : Impossible 2, Paycheck), John Woo rentre enfin au pays en nous livrant un film chinois. Et ce que l'on peut lui reconnaÃ®tre aprÃ¨s ces annÃ©es d'exil, c'est bien l'efficacitÃ© de chacun de ses films. Pour cause, Les 3 Royaumes est un film pour le moins spectaculaire et grand spectacle (le rÃ©alisateur, bien que sa mise en scÃ¨ne peu laisser Ã dÃ©sirer par moment avec surdose de ralentis, donne ici un bon effet), avec les moyens du bord (costumes, effets spÃ©ciaux, accessoires...). Rajoutons Ã cela un casting honorable et le tour et jouer! Enfin presque... Un dÃ©faut vient pourtant assombrir le tout. Un dÃ©faut que l'on doit aux producteurs, qui ont voulu raccourcir le film (de 4h Ã 2h30). RÃ©sultat : un film charcutÃ© (scÃ©nario sans Ã¢me, trop tournÃ© vers l'action, montage brouillon...)! Bref, il est dommage de voir que le film aurait pu Ãªtre bien mieux si, une fois de plus, on avait laissÃ© le rÃ©alisateur s'amuser jusqu'au bout!… Expand
