Wow, Red Cliff is awesome. 2hours and 10 minutes really worth it. The art of war or watching the war strategies and formation is damn nice. Can't wait to watch Red Cliff 2.
My rating 9.5/10

For crying out loud.
The strategies and formation was so badly presented, I bet it wouldn't help a bit unless you're fighting with a bunch of retarded leading by yet another retarded general. But that's exactly what they show give you. The One man show is a prove of blardy bad formation. Superhero fighting not even competent enemies. Too many man standing there holding their spears "waiting" for their turn to attack but clearly there is only 1 man there to kill, that one man that keep killing his comrades.
The acting was bad. Takeshi portrayal of Zhu Ge Kong Ming kills the show. Even their ace Tony Leung did not deliver as many said he would.
He was his usual trademarked stiffness, blank face, calm dialogue, and grin. You can review back all his work for this few years.
I understand that the movie was targeted to many western audience so the using of too much of modernized languages is making it unrealistic but it is forgiven. But can you believe there is no witty & memorable dialogue in a show that contains one of the brightest man ever in Chinese history and few of the greatest character of all time.
Some pigeon scene and the flirting scene was totally out of no where.
Let's hope the second part will be better.

nope i had the choice to rent that or this, and i took this. then again the ori is a zombie classic, if you love those kinda movies its a must watch. DOTD was ok some parts were totally pointless. the "enjoyment" scene where those guys had flashes of fun in the mall was like out of place and so on.
i was kinda expecting a zombie fun in the mall itself, but owh well that didnt come to be.
Couldn't get my hand on the Romero version so I couldnt compare.
But my impression of it was the opening was so well done.
Busy hospital showing a "hint" then the nurse on his way back to the lovely neighborhood. It calms you down and make you emotional ready for the movie to reveal itself then suddenly "BAM".
