Movie Reviews of Tian di ying xiong

Movie Review: Warriors of Heaven and Earth
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a story about a Chinese official that was sent to the western part of Tang's China to capture a renegade soldier that will be ultimately executed. Incedently, when a caravan transporting a Buddhist monk and a valuable treasure is threatened by thieves, the two warriors might unite to protect the travelers. Although anyone could say that this is predictable story, the sequences of scenes keep the audience in hold with the plot.

The movie cast is well balanced specially between Harrison Liu and Nakai(this one with a great stoic character).

In addition, the different settings where the film was shooted were really impressive in terms of variety of colors and landscape.

Finally the disc features such as the "Making of ...." are very interesting and gives to anyone, a good idea on how complex this kind of "simple" movie could be.

Is a good movie to anyone who loves chinese history related films and is well developed.

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 Horton
