zbalai I loved this flick, but of course I am not a popular movie fan. Besides I have much interest in Chinese language, history and mentality. Storytelling is not as tight as in some recent western films, but exactly this gives viewers the opportunity to think and reflect on events. I really appreciated the anti-war sentiment, what is quite common in today's Chinese movies.Pros: -beautiful scenery -Jackie excels in comic situations -Chinese energyCons: -too much slapstick -some scenes may seem unrefinedLet's see, if it reaches the magical seven ;)Other excellent Chinese movies I would advise: Hua Mulan (2009), Red Cliff, IP Man

karledwards2010 I would recommend this film to any one who is after a comedy for the night, Before i saw this film i was wary of it because of films I've seen with shabby Chinese - English conversion, or just terrible Chinese matrix styled martial art films, and i am glad I've been proved wrong. From the start to the end it is pact with Action and Humor. Jackie Chan is a sleek as ever with his strange ability to use the environment to his advantage in brawls and his strange antiques are as fine tuned as ever, ontop of this, his comedy is a fine as it ever has been, he pulled this off well and truly. I also though how the film ended was brilliant, i don't want to spoil it, so take my word, the ending couldn't be any better. In my opinion i would say this is in the top 10 films I've seen this year.

zakfar2000 This movie is indeed not a regular Jackie Chan movie, and his character is entirely different. For this reason, this movie might not appeal many of his usual fans. However, with this movie, Jakie has actually attracted a wider audience towards his side. His role is indeed marvelous and his acting was simply great. Some people consider this movie as Jackie having a character role, but the truth is, he's the main character: Movie is on his name, he takes the most screen time, and the movie starts and ends on him.I know lot of people won't have much interest in the 'Three Kingdom Period' of China, and that might become the reason of their lack of attachment to the main story. You will like it lot more if you study a little bit about that time (however, the movie gives all the important details itself). Although there is limited action in the movie (as compare to other Jackie Chan movies), all that is there is handled pretty good.The movie is recommended for all (those who love Jackie should see his different type of role, and those who don't like it should also see what he's capable of). I would love to see Jackie having more movies like this.

Leofwine_draca A fun but flawed period piece from Jackie Chan, which sees the star indulging in some of his madcap comedy routines while at the same time the film takes more serious inroads in its look at the nature of warfare and violence in the historical age. Indeed, LITTLE BIG SOLDIER is an unusual film, unsure whether it wants to be a serious, character-based drama or the usual knockabout action film that we'd expect from the star. So at one stage we have Jackie beating off a trio of barbarian bad guys and the next we get some moralising about the pointlessness of battle and the fate of warring kingdoms.Still, even at this late stage in his career, Jackie is difficult to dislike as the star. His stunts may be less outrageous and his fighting less impressive than it was twenty years ago, but he brings a warmth and genuine presence to his role. There's some fun to be had from the premise of two enemies being forced to travel together (bringing to mind all those old handcuffed-together comedies like MIDNIGHT RUN) and the action scenes, while unspectacular, are solid. Certainly not my favourite Jackie Chan film of recent years though, this pales in comparison to the likes of the powerful SHINJUKU INCIDENT.
