Anyone seen this movie yet?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0299977/


In ancient times China was divided into seven kingdoms. Qin, the king of the northern province, is under permanent threat of assassination attempts. His greatest fears are the warriors "Broken Sword", "Flying Snow" and "Sky". One day one of the magistrates of his kingdom enters the palace, claims that he defeated all three of the emperor's adversaries and tells his story; how he beat "Sky" in a duel and used the love between "Broken Sword" and "Flying Snow" to subdue them.


It looks really good.

I'm kinda bothered seeing Tarantino's name related to this film, but I guess if he helped get it released here I should give him a thumbs up. People are probably going to not pay attention and think he was involved in production, directing even....

Regardless, at the expense of sounding like a movie snob/tool, it is a good flick. I saw it on DVD quite a while ago, so hopefully they left it mostly untouched for US release. (It's only PG-13)

I thought it was a good movie. I guess it had been out in China for quite sometime. I gave it a B.

I thought so too. It was like they were trying to make it more complicated than it should have been.

Looks pretty good, still planning on seeing it along with the New Resident Evil. hopefully I'll see both of those within the next week or two
