Set in 3rd century ancient Imperial China amidst a time of political turmoil and social strife, a disillusioned general will defect from his emperor's command and blah, blah, blah... do you really care? It's just more revisionist fiction draped in fancy movie costumes and misinterpreted set locations told with the historical accuracy of a high school fantasy novel. We all know you're really just here to see underpaid martial artists posing as dramatic actors perform dangerous stunts and highly choreographed sword fights, right? Imagine watching The Battle of the Swirling Bamboo, an epic clash that never actually happened, but sure looks impressive on screen! Beep. Boop.
