This film attracted me with the role of Nicolas Cage, however, he is not the main character and his role in the film is not quite interesting. This film is simply a Chinese movie with some new winds from western crusaders. However, it is meaningless, the makers tried to attract us with this image but they failed to connect the stories, so it becomes boring. I felt like being cheated.
The royal prince was practicing the arrows, but the result is just one hit shot, that's all. The storyline is half done.
Most important thing, the camera is terrible. If you want to watch fierce sword fights, then you will be seriously disappointed because the camera is so narrow like the you are the fighter in the movie, BUT it is shaken strongly so after a few minutes impressive, you will feel terrible.
Why don't they film it with wider view so we can enjoy the whole fighting and landscapes...? I hope they return my ticket money.
Anyways, the characters are good, I can not give them bad rating.
Finally, sorry for my bad English.
