Suddenly feel like watching a movie, many of my colleagues also say it's nice...thus decided to just go do what i want to do...
Last time usually think alot before deciding to do something but recently become bolder and more "spontaneous" haha
Left Office early today to go West Mall, Long time nv visit Eng Wah West Mall also... Had Popcorn and Coke for dinner, not cheap also damn! $7.50!! Even more expensive than a movie ticket!
Anyway digress enough already, here's my view on "Red Cliff 2"
What I like:
1) Cinematography is nice
2) Special effects
3) The politics
What I don't like:
1) Plot Deviate too much from the orginal story
2) Zhou Yu suddenly becomes such a gentlemen
3) Zhuge Liang doesn't seem special
Perhaps I am a history freak, that's why i feel that the show isn't that nice to me because it deviates too much from the orginal 'Romance of the 3 Kingdoms'
Zhuge Liang is supposed to be a brilliant strategist, but when the allied forces needed the eastern wind, he seems to be surprised when he observed the skies and noted that there will be eastern winds soon. I tot Everything should be within his calculation wat?? Why make him look like an opportunist? He is supposed to "trick" Zhou Yu that the Eastern wind is summoned by him, but in this he just tell him straight.
Zhou Yu is supposed to be a brillant but petty guy, here he is potrait as a true gentlement, even when he knew his wife is with Cao Cao, he still insist on a 'gentlemen's ' war. He suddenly becomes a vanguard general rather than the supreme commander ( he goes straight to the front and fight with the enemy rather than direct the battle, he does more fighting than directing)
Sun Quan also goes to fight at the front line!!! how can the lord do that???
In the end, after all the bloodshed, they just released cao cao!!! Wat????!!! actually i wound prefer that cao cao's general fought off the allied forces to allow Cao cao to escape. Cao Cao a prime minister and a great man of his time have to resort to using a woman to force the allied forces to submit???Unthinkable!!!
The sea battle scene is nice, but the land battle is a disappointment, too "deliberate" until it looks fake...
Didn't really enjoy it but as entertainment and not those die-hard RTK fans i think this will be nice.
