Default Check out the Chinese movie Red Cliff, if you want a lot of epic action.

So as far as I am concerned I could have checked all of the choices.
This movie Red Cliff just recently came out in two DVDs. It is just over 4 hours long but has several epic battle scenes involving both land and river battles. It broke box office records in China. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Cliff_(film)
