I'm not really sure what I watched, it was so... foreign in the telling of the story of a legend pertaining to the Great Wall of China that is just fantastical enough to make you scratch your head.
But it was directed by Zhang Yimou, so I checked it out. It's kinda like the usual medieval fortress defense system on display against a swarm of would-be invaders against the Great Wall of China, but with Yimou's directorial flourishes. I wasn't prepared for the amount of CGI on the screen, so it was just weird. Matt Damon seemed to be sleep-walking through this role, though.
I give it 2.5 stars, or a grade of C+.
