YesAsia Editorial Description
The Warlords is during the Taiping Rebellion when the Qing Dynasty was brought to its knees by a demagogue who attracted hundreds of thousands of disgruntled insurgents to his cause, thrusting the nation into chaotic infighting and warlordism. Emerging from a field of corpses, Qing General Pang (Jet Li) is the only member of his troop to survive a fatal battle with enemy forces. Wandering through the impoverished land, he encounters young outlaw Jiang (Takeshi Kaneshiro) and ends up joining a gang of bandits led by the brash and brazen Zhao (Andy Lau). Realizing that the only way to survive during such times is to join the fight, Pang, Zhao, and Jiang form their own army and offer their services to the Qing. Bounded by their blood oath, the sworn brothers lay down their lives for victory on the battlefield, but their brotherhood is tested by politics, personal ambition, and rivalry for the hand of Zhao's wife (Xu Jinglei).
Comes with 24-page booklet and bonus DVD containing deleted scenes with director's commentary, making of, production documentary, and China Version trailer.

| Among Chinese films, "The Warlords" is the best I've seen at showing the horrors of war and how those horrors can cause even the most noble of souls to engage in ghastly behavior. Filmed on an epic scale, its big battle scenes and, later, its displays of infighting and backstabbing kept me on the edge of my seat. Jet Li delivers a powerful, complex performance unlike anything he's done before. Andy Lau is perfectly cast as the forceful bandit leader and Takeshi Kaneshiro beautifully depicts the anguish of the moral compromises his character makes and rejects. Who knew that director Peter Chan, justly renowned for his superb romance films, could pull off a truly great war movie? Very, very highly recommended. |

It's only natural that Jet's fans worried that he's really giving up on martial arts movies. Bear in mind there're other ways of incorporating this talent. I find this movie very touching if you look beyond the star-studded cast and action because not only does it give us a bit of history about how ordinary citizens have to fight to survive during the warring states (which I'm sure is quite true) but also about "the code of conduct among sworn brothers" - taken extremely seriously (especially 'thou shalt not betray thy brother' and 'thou shalt not covert thy brother's wife') . This taking of oath is common even among triads today and it separates the men from the boys. The movie may start off slow with Takeshi narrating and the audience is left wondering why is this so? However, all is revealed towards the end of the movie. Jet gave a wonderful performance as the only surviving general after his battalion was wiped out by the overwhelming opposition,and later unkowingly fell in love with Andy's wife. It's his most emotional movie uptodate and he certainly deserves the best actor award. I'd vote for him. Andy was his usual self as leader of an outlaw gang. Takeshi's character as the loyal 'little brother' and second-in-command gave him more ground to be expressive towards the end of the movie. A good effort. There are a few 'chopping & maiming" scenes but not too violent by today's standards. All said and done, I suppose some will come to the conclusion of "because of that woman......."! But that's life, and it could happen. |

One of the greatest Hong Kong movie of all time
|
Director Peter H.S. Chan ("Comrades,Almost a love story","Perhaps Love") has proven himself among the best Hong Kong film director with this movie. Complex of the story line. Multi-layer of the characters. Rich in emotion,details into the setting. It's a "completed movie" I've seen from a Hong Kong/Chinese movie.( beside " Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon") All actors/actress have gave a superb performance. Andy Lau shines. Jet li gave the performance of his live time, proven he can act besides just perform his action stunt (That's something Jackie Chan has yet to proof.... may be with his new up coming Derek Yee's movie. & Bruce Lee never have a chance to do!) If you find no interest in this movie. No only you missed one of the best Hong Kong/Chinese movie so far. You have proven to yourself you don't know what movie is besides skin deep excitement. |

Almost all the way

I guess many fans of Jet Li was a bit afraid that he was going to go all bad on screen when he was ending wushu style onscreen. Well after seeing this movie we all know this is not the case. So instead of using wushu in the film what does he do? he kicks ass with weapons and regular kicks and fists of course! This movie feels abit like the answer to saving private ryan, band of brothers and simualr films, only that this is dealing with China and the wars between the provinces back in the days. Instead of massive shootings and bombings this movie has alot of swords, cannons and other stuff to make the battle fields turn red. All in all this movie is really good. Well scripted and well acted from all actors in the movie. The only thing that bothers me is that it drops in tempo in the middle of the film and becomes a bit dull and then goes up in tempo again. Anyhow if you are a fan of big battles with swords, kicks, fists and cannons and an angry jet li in general position look no further, this movie is for you. I shall also add that this movie is semi graphic and shows a few nasty things here and there, which to me is a good thing as Ive become very tired of Hollywoods "no blood, no swearing, no graphic violence" in films, show some realism or don't bother to show it at all. |

Excellent movie
| If you like action and fighting scenes, then this movie is recommended. I thought the fight scene was incredible. Jet Li, Takeshi, and Andy did a great job in this movie. The romance part was not necessary, but I can understand why director wants to put some in every movie. Overall, I highly recommend this movie as it was entertaining. |
