Matthew_Diamond One of the characters in the movie says that the Tao Tei attack every sixty years "to keep greed in check," and that is precisely the message of the movie. The world's poor, most of them anyway, are tired of being poor, being represented by the Tao Tei themselves, and if not checked are threatening all-out war against the richest two percent of the population that are not sharing, hiding in seclusion, hoarding and loving their wealth, protecting themselves with a "great wall" that they hope nobody can penetrate. As the movie demonstrates, that line of thought has its weaknesses. A very good way to put off a moral to those who are, in fact, multi-billionaires while their next door neighbors are starving and without much else. Should they heed the warning to prevent all out world-wide civil war, or--should they continue to buy yachts, mansions and small countries with no thought to anybody else?
lilmay-03531 When I first saw the trailers I thought no way. Then it was on HBO and being bored, I watched it. Growing up my parents(who were raised in mainland China in the 1930's) would tell me & my siblings to share & help others-don't be greedy, "don't be T'ao T'ie," don't be THAT monster. Chinese parents have funny ways to scare you & teach you lessons to be a good person. Wow this monster has a new face now & ew it was creepy! Movie itself was much more enjoyable than I anticipated. Has many of the newer Chinese actors that I like and it didn't bother me at all having Matt Damon as a Western mercenary as the lead-teaching him Eastern ideas, philosophies and reasonings. I did want more character development though Visually the action scenes were stunning. Really liked the contrast of the different colors based on their military roles. Costuming is listerally brilliant. I was disappointed with how the end was rushed & then the movie was over just like that. I've seen it a few times now on TV and keep finding reasons to like it.
elombardo-943-187601 I can't believe people on this site are actually saying this movie was good. This has to be one of the 5 worst movies I have ever seen!!
