Movie Reviews of Tian di ying xiong
Movie Review: Not nearly on the scale of some other Chinese epics
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this movie after reading some of the reviews on this site, & now I wish I hadn't. The movie is OK but if you really want to see this movie just buy the DVD. First of all the picture quality is not worth to get on Bluray. You don't get the awesome cinematography that you do in other Chinese epic films like 'Crouching Tiger', 'Hero' or 'Flying Daggers'. Second, the story is a little bit contrived and the characters not all that interesting. The scale of this movie & the way in which it was shot gives off the feeling that it's a B-rated flick in fact. If you really want to get this I will gladly sell you the one I bought for cheap.
Summary of Tian di ying xiong
Anybody hungering for a good old-fashioned Western needs to check out Warriors of Heaven and Earth, which--although it's set in 7th-century China--has all the valor and spectacle of a John Ford picture. It also has a goofy supernatural streak, for the chopsocky crowd. The opening 10 minutes or so offer an alarmingly convoluted plot, but it swiftly settles down. What's going on is that a long-exiled Japanese hit man (Kiichi Nakai), hired to kill a renegade Chinese warrior (Jiang Wen), temporarily teams up with his quarry in order to escort a camel caravan along the Spice Road. Of course, they are menaced by a brutal warlord, and beautiful Zhao Wei (So Close) is mixed in there too. Director He Ping (Red Firecracker, Green Firecracker) captures some magnificent vistas in the Gobi Desert, but more importantly he sketches the codes or honor and behavior essential to any such tale. --Robert HortonArt House & International DVD Video
