At least it looks like it will not be getting pushed back again.

I am hoping my order ships out shortly. I've been excited to see this film for quite a while.

Ya, me too. I've got this along with In The Line of Duty IV and Tiger Cage 2. It's going to be a Donnie movie marathon for me.

Just came back from watching the movie.

BD Review: In short, beautiful (clear and lit very well) BD transfer with great selection of dynamic audio tracks. For those who watched the online/camjob versions will get a whole new experience watching the movie on BD. I haven't watched the extras yet though but I'll get around to it.

Movie Review: As a whole, it's a very underrated movie. Sure, there's lots of inaccuracies and many plotholes of how Guan Yu went on to build his relationship with Cao Cao, his whole journey to Liu Bei defeating six generals and going through five passes and which role he had during the whole warring period shown in the movie. Maybe a sequel/prequel on the way? I don't know much about RotTK so what do I know. But from a standalone point of view, it's a retelling a familiar story in a new way. Besides, the point the filmmakers wanted to get across to is based on what THEY themselves feel about the legend behind Guan Yu and how he could've been as a real-life person instead of going with the portrayal of the person from the novel majority of Chinese people have embraced. For that, I applaud them. Acting and casting in general was good and from what I read from reviews, Jiang Wen is considered as the film's driving force. It's true words. All of Jiang's scenes come off strong and whenever he speaks his lines, his charisma shows and you'll know he means business. Donnie does a very good acting job giving pretty good competition holding his own (despite being dubbed) and turns into a better performance than his turns in 14 Blades and Legend Of The Fist. Action-wise, The Lost Bladesman is a piece of work. Donnie is getting alot of great work done in action choreography lately and this didn't disappoint. The stuff he displays here is unlike I've seen from him or anybody else for that matter before. Choreography, camerawork, editing, use of locations, and overall execution. Just top-notch. Rating: 7/10
