This review is referring to the version of the movie released in the west (a compressed amalgamation of Red Cliff I & II).
Ostensibly this is an adaptation of one section of the enormously famous (and generally enormous) historical opus The Romance of the Three ...( read more)
Well, i like it, this is a movie that actually deserves the "epic" label in the best sense possible. It has the right balance between wire-fights and brawling fights, between wide battle scenes and intimate moments with the characters. It never feels too long or that is wasting t...( read more)
A powerful piece for John Woo's triumphant return to Asian cinema. Fantastically choreographed battle scenes complement an intriguing peace of Chinese history. One again the characters stand out especially Takeshi Kaneshiro, Tony Leung and Wei Zhao. A spectacle not to be missed!

The film's shortcomings have less to do with Woo's orchestration of his ambitious tale and more to do with the Frankenstein hatchet job enacted against it. full review
Any war picture in which the heroine stalls the villain with a quiet, painstaking tea ceremony until the wind shifts direction and the good guys can firebomb the bad guys into oblivion is too ineffabl... full review
Red Cliff gets everything right - sensationally right - except this one vital pulse of engagement. full review
This is a very good movie. This is the story of one of the greatest military strategies ever formulated. The waterloo of CaoCao.
