Knights of Valour (2021)
Guan Yu, legendary general of Three Kingdoms, invented new weapon - guandao halberd. His own guandao called "Green Dragon Crescent Blade" weighed 48 kg and was deadly menace for any enemy.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
