IMHO, they should re-edit the 2 parts to make the story tighter and it will feel much more like an epic That's exactly what they will do for the European market, make one 2,5 hour movie out of the two. I'm looking forward to the film since I was one of those who sincerely hoped that John Woo would return to his home country and make another Chinese Film but I will avoid this European version because I can't imagine it will do the Film any good.
