I haven't seen any corny commercials, but then again, i don't watch much TV. A guy on the radio said it was really good if you like battles and that it was virtually all fighting with only a little bit of story & dialouge.
Now, I did get stuck in "this guy's an idiot" mode b/c he made it painfully obvious that he had no clue that it was based on real events (while the numbers of participants have been disputed). However, if the general public goes to see a fighting movie, they're probably not looking for a ton of drama and story line, just enough to make the characters a little more round and propel the story line. I already know and understand the history, so I'm ready to watch some people get skewered :-).
The reveiwer did comment that there's a lot of beheadings....
