Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Best movie ever!

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

MUSA (aka THE WARRIOR) was the Korean film which kick-started the recent K-films boom -- and it's easy to see why. Set in the Middle Ages, it follows a diplomatic embassy (soldiers and bureaucrats) to China who get turfed out. Finding a Chinese princess captured by Mongols, they embark on a rescue mission, hoping that in returning her they will be able to complete their diplomatic mission, only to find themselves chased relentlessly into the desert by the Golden Horde. They end up trapped at a broken-down old fort where the heroes have to decide whether to hand the princess over or fight for her. The result is a beautifully shot (people say that a lot but I mean it) action epic which combines universal human concerns with super-cool Asian flourishes and some great martial arts sequences.

Musa a.k.a The Warrior is a real-life epic that featured by Jung Woo- sung, Joo Jin-mo, Ahn Sung-ki and Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi.It was written and directed by Kim Sung-su.The film is set in 1375 when the Yuan dynasty collapses after a 100-year reign against the insurgent Ming. As the Ming dynasty solidifies power pushing the remaining Yuan armies to the north and west, Koryo sends a delegation of diplomats to shore up their strained relations with the new government. Upon arrival the lead diplomat is thrown in jail and the rest are exiled to the dusty hinterland for spying. There, the party is ambushed by Yuan soldiers. The survivors are led by General Choi Jung and a bodyguard slave of another fallen general, Yeo-sol. After facing all sorts of adversities, the group make it to a remote country inn where they learn that the beautiful Ming princess Furong has been kidnapped. When Yeo-sol gets abducted by the same band of Yuan thugs, Choi Jung resolves to free them both. Fleeing from the same Yuan army, the Koryo warriors with Furong in tow learn that the Yuan has burned all ferryboats in the Yellow River valley. When they happen upon a group of Ming refugees, Furong promises them supplies and safe passage home if they escort the refugees to the Mud Castle upriver. The castle, however, proves to be in ruins and the Yuan are closing in.This is an excellent movie as it combines gorgeous cinematography, complex historical politics, and joltingly bloody action sequences to create a sweeping historical spectacular.The battle scenes deliver some visceral thrills.While the violence is graphic but grippingly choreographed. It is a good Korean-Chinese action movie but not great. Nevertheless,it greatly entertains that is why it is highly recommended.

This thing drags on forever. Enough already. I get it. The plot is really simple - guys kill each other for no good reason. At times we get hints that something interesting could happen between the characters, but nothing worthwhile develops out of it. They just keep killing each other and acting like retards over and over. Very unsatisfying. The saving grace of this movie is that Ziyi Zhang is absolutely gorgeous, and acts pretty good too, otherwise it's 2 out of 10. Also, there are some awful scene cuts that don't make much sense, and the blood gushing out of wounds is a bit overboard. Do yourself a favor and watch 'Hero' for the tenth time before wasting your time with this.

I dunno...Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood but this flix left me cold. Except for being a little more graphically gory then most I felt that plot and action was pretty generic: the super heroes, the beautiful haughty princess, yawn...It was actually even pretty funny how two of the main heroes, the slave and the general, both were seemingly cut down and dead only to be perfectly fit and slaughtering dozens just a few scenes after their fall. Man, their powers of recovery were amazing! Not a doctor around either. The heroic leads glared their way throughout this movie. I'd rather watch The Seven Samurai for the umpteeth time that waste my time on this movie.
