Dudes... i'm gonna watch this today... 12.15pm show at gsc midvalley...

*spoilers ahead*

Ookayy... i've watched it like i said... overall i'd give it 7/10... it's probably not a very good film from a neutral point of view but who cares... it has zhou yun, the three brothers, the other tiger generals (albeit only for 2 seconds each), cao cao and some of his officers... but the best of all *gasp* zhuge liang !! his intro was waaayyy coooll !!

the plot differ from the novel of course but again.. what the heck... i absolutely love it when cao cao mutters his famous line... somewhere along the line "i'd rather betray the world then the world betray me", even though he was supposed to actually said that at a different time (when he butchered his uncle and the whole family).

btw... i really liked zilong and andy lau did a great potrayal of him... especially during his old days... but at one time in movie... zilong fought both guan yu and zhang fei to a standstill... no way man... the director overpowered him..

you don't get many movies based on the three kingdoms period... so dont waste this oppoturnity... the sound & music was pretty cool as well... so go to the cinemas instead of the cheap dvd they're selling rite now.

ivanau88.... i don't think the movie portrayed zhuge liang's stupidity... earlier in the movie... it actually showed his brilliance by winning the first battle through strategy... and he didn't mind putting his neck on the line (he offered his head in case of failure) because he was very sure it was going to rain... and he went off before the battle was over... like what sun zi said... a true strategist could predict the outcome of the battle even before fighting it (something like that).

btw... yeah the two bastards weren't suppose to die in that battle but they suck anyways (in the novel). Shu were declining, it was a sad thing that those two were the best Shu could offer.

wufei... why do u refer liu bei as uncle??
aahh... i see... u must be a descendant of the hans. Or the emperor himself.
The 115th generation??

hmm.... maybe i'm the only who like this movie... maybe bcoz i like three kingdoms so much... just like when i go watch AVP movies... who cares about the plots/acting... as long as there are predators innit...

btw, of course liu bei didn't kill his boy, if he did then perhaps Shu would have (probably) fared better.

u mean wei yan ??

dudes, i'm learning mandarin, tonite is my 1st class. Is is hard?
wish me luck.
