Red Cliff 2

Catched Red Cliff 2 this afternoon with dear.


As expected, major changes in the storyline are implemented as per usual requirements for big screen reworks, but I was still pretty disappointed at the outright injustice done to some of the legendary characters, especially those on Cao Cao's side (including our favourite villian himself)

Oh well, its just a show, not intended to illustrate the actual story anyway.
No point getting too judgemental over this.


As JS said, some of the fight sequences are soooooooo typical old school John Woo style... (looks real cool if it is still in the 90's, but I must point out that its a bit outdated in year 2009)



My verdict of this show as I told dear:
This show is great for those who are not familiar with SGYY, but not true fans of this epic story.

Next Show: 大喜事 or Ong Bak 2

Next Next Show: Marley & Me
