Watched the myth today. Honestly, if I didn't have company I would have fallen asleep. The storyline is tedious and pretty slow moving. Heck me and the person both agreed that it would have been a better movie if they had just stuck to the flashbacks instead of inserting boring modern day scenes.
The movie has two timelines. One based during the Qin dynasty if I'm not mistaken. Here a general is escorting a concubine back to the royal palace. Obviously they fall in love. For no reason that I could perceive. But its a movie eh? Anything can happen. The second timeline is the modern timeline where the general has been reincarnated. He is an archaeologist (spelling?) who is slowly regaining his memory of his past life.
I must admit the soldier uniforms and horses and all the action in the past timeline did catch a wow or two from me. That was pretty impressive. Then again, after watching the likes of 'Braveheart' and 'The last samurai' the impressiveness is quite mediocre after all.
Its Jackie Chans usual blend of comedy action. Lots of laughs for well choreographed fight scenes. The storyline and ending leave much wanting though if you ask me. As usual at the end of the movie, the bloopers are shown. Some of them hilarious to an extreme... others which just look awfully painful!
All in all an average movie. On hindsight, if not for the perfect company I had, I would have refused to pay my RM 10.00 for the movie!
