This movie is at best a good pastime. Its script is commonplace and everything is par for the course. It won't take long before you know the whole plot. But who cares if all you want is a mere pastime during holiday. Still, team spirit and personal sacrifice are pervasive(some are quite unnecessary). That couldn't draw a lot of tears, though. The back-to-the-past scenes are by no means hi-tech; they are tacky ---- just some flashes, smoke, and twisted faces of the actors. And here they are: the year 1594!! That said, the message ---Why at war if we can be at peace?--- is still the crux , which we are unable to achieve even nowadays. Maybe ,we are less barbaric than before, but that hunger for power and dominance is still deep-seated in the minds of die-hard aggressors.
