This one, the first of the two is excellent. It's a great story and has fun characterization between the two brothers. I really liked the guys being dudes, rough housing and bantering. That's in every war movie so it was fun to see the Chinese national pride version of that trope.

The other thing the movie did really well was portrays the fearsome and inviolable power of airstrikes against light armed infantry. The American military is made of titanic, metal monstrosities that deal death with impunity. The soldiers the story centers on just have to hunker down and take it. You never see that version of American military power on screen in western films.

Finally, the sequence where MacArthur rolls up to the Korean peninsula with the fleet and the camera pans over all the battleships, swoops around and lands on the reflection in his aviators is absolutely 100-com chefs-kiss
