Ok so I watched this film called Red Cliff today. For some reason I've been into the historic Chinese films lately. i bought this one some time ago, and only got around to watching it today. So I will keep this review short. That is sort of because I don't remember what happened really.
Red Cliff is a historic Chinese war film, set back many dynasties ago. Because I don't quite understand the story, I need to tell you to read the description on Wikipedia or something. But this post is just my thoughts on the film. I think the reason why I didn't really get this movie was because there are so many characters in this film, and they arn't ever really introduced properly. There's not much of a character development.
This film was actually a 2 part film, over 300 minutes long, though the DVD only released about half that time. I think the overall filming of the movie was quite good anyway. The thing that lacks is a bit of dialogue as there isn't that much character development. But I'm not quite, because I guess this film is about war, so you would expect a lot of fighting, which is what they did.
I guess overall, if you are just wanting to watch spectacular battle sequences, then this is the perfect film for you. If you are looking for more of a storyline, and want to get to know some new characters, this this isn't quite the film for you. I myself didn't enjoy it, well.... I couldn't remember half the storyline so I won't rate it. Anyway those are just some of my thoughts on the film, you'll need to decide for yourself if you enjoy this film or not :)
