The Lost Bladesman (2011)

Summary: LOST is definately the keyword
This movie nailed everything that I hate about Donnie Yen movie. Firstly, it's got Donnie Yen face and name written all over the entire movie. Secondly, the person who casted all the actors should be fired. Which yseriously make me doubt if they ever read the Three Kingdom history before even casting. I mean, seriously... you really think Donnie Yen is Guan Yuan Chang material? Alex Fong and Wen Jiang each fit for their cast as Liu bei and Cao Cao?

Oh, to add to the hatred list, the Cantonese dubbed version is horrible. It makes Cao Cao sounded so gentle and sissy. Come on people... this is saddening.

Thirdly, the storline is just so screwed up. I mean, we all pay to watch a movie, which of course we are expecting to see movies being acted out to the end, not acting some shots which doesn't make any sense to connect the start and the ending. To add to the worst after taste, they wrote the ending out, which I could just buy a book to finish it off. Storyline is lose and choppy. Not to mentioned... it didn't really explain how the head was chopped in the first place.

Fourthly, it's suppose to tell the tale of Guan Yun Chang, but it's more like a Romeo and Juliet movie. And what's worst is they completely turned the movie in to a romantic epic movie. Now that's sad!

The only thing that is worth mentioning would probably be the action sequence. And yes, one would definately be as lost as the title of the movie is, should they make it out of the cinema alive.
