Just finished watching this show...
Something that i wanted to watch back then.
Review: It's a little draggy (150mins), John Woo's probably trying to let the crowd understand what happened in the past before this war. Lin Zhi Ling is stiff with her acting, don't think she is suitable to be Xiao Qiao.
Liu Bei was defeated a number of times prior to this and with Cao Cao hot on his heels, he had no choice but to relocate his civilians with him.
A short scene of how Zhao Yun risked his life to save little Liu Chan always touches my heart.
(Only to find out that idiot turned out to be a good-for-nothing when he grows up.)
Some very 'cold' scenes appeared here and there.. I thought it was quite funny though.
Towards the end, there was a battle scene of how Zhuge Liang trapped Cao Cao's land forces with his Ba Gua formation. Pretty nice, I would say.
Worst part of this show is the ending... It just ended before the strategy could be discussed for the Battle of ChiBi.
To me, the most exciting part of this movie should be the naval battle where CaoCao's 80,000 strong force collapse overnight. BUT, IT DID NOT HAPPENED !!!
Instead, a flame of fire came out and there you go again.... 'To be continued....'
So.. do I have to wait until next year or two before I get to see the Naval Battle?
