This movie certainly just jumped right into it.
A very short intro sees the Liang seeing they have no chance against the Zhao army so they send a message that they surrender.

Then suddenly, A Mozi, a cult known for there strategy for warfare turns up, then they decide, maybe we have a chance!! Next thing you know the battles begin, strategies are thought up and executed!!

What happened to building up the story???


The Mozi somehow meets up with the Zhao general and have a chess game on top fo a hill. IS that a common thing in war?

The most interesting part of this movie is the the philosophy of the Mozi, they are good at war strategy but emphasis peace. They also would goto any side to protect whoever needs them. Andy Lau plays his role well, but so does the rest of the cast. Also the politcal decisions by the king are interesting, as it shows power does corrupt.

i'm disappointed by how the movies almost doesnt have a introduction and jumps right into it. It's almost feels like, OK they are going to attack, so lets get ready, OK they attacked, lets get ready for another attack. There is just no build up of suspense for what may occur next, they jump right the next phase without a thought.

STill, this movie is a epic, and worth watching at least the once
