Review of Kingdom

Kingdom (2019)
7/10
Only Thing Missing Were Dragons
5 March 2020
A Japanese mostly fantasy action telling of how the warring states (~400BCE) were soon to become a single state under Qin called China. Another immense scale production where at one brief point we see (by a character's account 80,000 warriors, but I counted a little over 103,000) anyway, it's mostly very fantasy sword play where a deposed leader comes back w/an odd lot to regain the crown from a nasty brother & potentially unite the kingdoms. The only thing missing in this drama was a cameo by a dragon. Seemed very China censorship positive of a founding country nationalism tale of good over evil, but just as likely it's bad/evil over badder/eviler.
