Movie Reviews: Red Cliff (赤壁)

In Autumn of 208 AD, 100,000 peasants fled with their beloved leader Liu Bei from Cao Cao's million man army. With the aid of heroes like Zhao Yun (the subject of the new "Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon" film) and Zhang Fei, they escape across the Great River (Chinese 'Yangtze') to take refuge with Sun Quan, the leader of the south. As Cao Cao prepares his huge navy to invade southern China and destroy them both, geniuses like Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu devise a grand strategy.

Butter's Review:

As usual I have to be pretty strict with the 3 Kingdoms Movie. Good flim, good cast, good "story". Why do I comma the story? Because only the timeline is following the true historical events. Other then that, as a 3 kingdoms hardcore student since 18 years ago, this is just another movie. Anyways still a good flim to catch for the weekend, like I said in the previous movie, a fun movie for a movie go-er, a nightmare for a 3 kingdoms fan.

I give it 3 BUTTERS:
