Review of The Warrior

The Warrior (2001)
8/10
Great battle scenes!
25 July 2006
Although I found the story hollow and in a few points quite meaningless, I like this film a lot. Great battle scenes! Excellent 'battle choreography'! The beginning of the movie reminds me on the story of Konan, but that is the only similarity. Very successful presentation of costumes of all the warriors, according to the history sources, bravo for that. Quite good acting, only the General's character should have been played a bit more realistic. Lovely princess :) I am from Europe and I know just a bit of Chinese and history of the East in general, so it was a bit hard for me to catch the relationships between the kingdoms, maybe it would be better if there was a map of them in the movie. Director did a wonderful job, and I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys in anime kind of fight. ...And the movie could have been made shorter...
