Maggie Q and Andy Lau’s latest epic movie ‘Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon’ finally gets a trailer. The movie is based on “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”, a vast 600-year-old novel by Luo Guanzhong that ranks as one of China’s four most important pieces of literature, which also provided source material for John Woo’s upcoming ‘Battle of Red Cliff’ which stars Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, and Taiwan supermodel Lin Chiling.
As usual, Chinese war movie is good. The action and the fighting of this movie is good. The dialog is also cool and the acting is awesome. You’ll be easily satisfied by watching the action without thinking the story line.
Andy Lau stars as Zhao Zilong, a veteran general of the Kingdom of Shu who took a last stand against the invading forces from the Kingdom of Wei. Maggie Q is the fictional Cao Ying, a grand-daughter of the warlord Cao Cao, whose son Cao Pi became the first emperor of the Kingdom of Wei.
Star(s) to watch : Andy Lau (”Infernal Affairs”, “The Warlords”) as Zhao Zilong, & Maggie Q (”Naked Weapon”, “Live Free or Die Hard”, “Mission: Impossible III”) as Cao Ying.
Genre : Action, Adventure, War, Drama, Adaptation.
