Saving General Yang

Watched this on opening day, and I don't regret it!

Saving General Yang in essence: Uncommon story twist, very exciting and supposedly based on a true story that has been eulogized because of the many representations of good virtues and values such as benevolence, filial piety, etc. The movie has lots of fighting, lots of killing and splattering of blood. I always love a show with lots of fighting and war strategies!

Fans of these actors/singers may come just to see some pretty faces. The movie features 7 men who are supposedly the most handsome guys in the Chinese movie industry.

I don't know much of the Chinese movie industry, but I'll objectively admit these guys are pretty good looking. According to JS (who watches way more Chinese shows), he says these guys are very famous. To me, I only find 4 of them decently handsome. The rest are seriously not my cup of tea. Haha.

Anyway, they look especially manly in all that armour (which I must add, is not CGI).

Not gonna say much about the story since it'll be a massive spoiler, but it was totally not what I expected from the "title" of the movie. Haha. People who have watched "300" may see some similarities - although I know that "300" and Chinese fighting are of totally different origins and influences. I did find some parts of the shows quite funny because some characters in the show have no idea what is self-preservation. There were so many points in the show when I just went "I mean, really?" and like "Oh my god, you didn't have to do that". Haha. But, all in all, a good movie! I'll give it an 8 out of 10!

If you're into the asian look, they're really not bad-looking huh. The guy in orange (Wu Zun) looked like he had serious water retention in the show cos his whole face was so terribly bloated (not fat). So that totally took some manliness points off him. He also was a pretty cowardly character for most of the show.

This version of the movie posters look especially good.
