1.5/4

A historical superproduction in which style, aside from committee-made, widescreen tedium, is spectacularly absent.

The Revolution will not be televised, Gil Scott-Heron once sang. Nor should it be filmed, we might add -- at least not as a costume drama with stirring speeches, an inspirational love story and gloriously heroic military charges.

Earnest and studious to a fault. Rarely has a film about upheaval felt more like a textbook.

1.5/5

1911 meanders through its interminable two-hour running time with a collection of scenes that feel more like liner notes from a history book than an actual screenplay.

A haphazard grab-bag of context-free fight scenes, cardboard characters and constant title cards explaining key details that the film itself can't reveal in any other way.

...this long, boring, convoluted, confusing, feeble, disgraceful film is nothing more than a clumsy Chinese Communist attempt to paint Sun Yat sen, a freedom-lover, as an early Communist.

A decent historical account of the revolution in China in 1911. The action was quite good, as was the understanding of one's war outside our own culture and country that we may not have much knowledge on prior to viewing. The subtitles were hard to follow, though, as many were very long and the audience is not given nearly enough time to read them before they vanish from the screen.

This movie was good, I love Chinese and Japanese movies for a lot of them are honoring those of there past in movies like this were they are able to tell the stories of their ancestors to the modern world. Some people say this is a bad film for Jackie Chan to do for his 100th film, however this is the only one that could do it justice, because he is honoring his country and its history.
