Hey SuperNurse, I saw the first clip you posted and found it interesting so I decided to watch it completely. I have to say that I was a disappointed at the end.

****SPOILER ALERT****
- Hot air balloon "airforce"

WTF!. I can accept people defying gravity in "Crouching Tiger", but not on an epic movie.
- When Ge Li and the Zhao general go one-on-one

into the room, and they end up with a philosophy chit chat pffffft!
- The whole Zhao army gathers in the main square, NOBODY is guarding and they all get caught by surprise by a small number of renegade archers.
I give this movie a 2.5/5 stars
