Prior to watching this movie I have read a few decent reviews about it. After watching it, I must admit, it exceeded my expectations. Very realistic battle scenes, good character development, a bit weak on the romance side of things, but hey, this isn't a chick flick.
My Chinese Mandarin skills are weak, so I appreciate the good quality English subtitles provided.
Overall, I think China has taken a good step in creating this movie so that it does not appear like a "state-run, propaganda" film...rather a real film with deep meaning and quality entertainment value.
This film makes me ponder the question, will there be more movies like this to come from China? I certainly hope so!
