I thought it was utter rubbish. Spoiler: [COLOR=White]The "explosive" ending that was being built up of the fight between the opposing armies never happened because the insiped love triangle story ended. ....and it doesn't take that bleedin' long to die anyway[/COLOR] The 'love story' consisted of the stupid bint effectively saying: "shall I shag you....er no....actually I'll shag you....er...um I've changed my mind, I'll shag him instead...oh what about you....nah, I'll shag you instead again etc etc". utter tosh apart from some of the earlier set pieces and far far behind both CTHD and Hero imho. I have princess mononoke and spirited away and grave of the fireflies so I realise that eastern plots may be different to western ones and find both [I]can[/I] be very enjoyable. This was just an insipid plot that made me want to :chunder: . PS have also seen a recent Japanese film "University of Laughter" on the plane, and thought it was excellent :respect:, can't wait to get that one on DVD. (along with ong bak and kung fu hustle)
