    At once better than the hollow first. More conviction and focus here. Havin said that, this movie is nothin without the battle scenes. Tony Leung's gettin on quite a bit, eh.

    A powerful conclusion to John Woo's triumphant return to Hong Kong cinema. Much to say on the power of loyalty and the tragedy of war. Once again wonderfully photographed, superbly acted and brutally beautiful battle scene choreography. Do yourself a favor and see the whole sa...( read more)ga. If this is what John Woo does in Hong Kong, and "Paycheck" is what he does in America, we ought to revoke his visa so he stays where he can continue making great cinema instead of mediocre tripe.

    Excellent movie. John Woo brings ancient China to life again in the second part of the legendary battle of Red Cliff. Again the acting was superb from Asia's finest actors, who are given a lot more dramatic depth than the first part, and the visuals and cinematography were amazin...( read more)g. The battle scenes were jaw dropping, with great sword play, and I loved the chemistry between Tony Leung and Takeshi Kaneshiro.

    The 2nd part to the epic tale. The first was good, but this one is better. The characters are still the same, the acting is still good and it still looks good. Everything is the same with the first film, except they've raised these qualities up a notch and have thrown in much mor...( read more)e epic battles. The tactical style that they use here is so interesting and some of the sub plots here are so clever. There's a scene where Zhuge Liang must collect arrows, and the way he does is just so... I'm not even gonna tell you, just watch it and embrace it's pure power. So, if you loved the first part, then obviously you gotta see the conclusion. It's so entertaining!

    Not quite as good as the first one, but yeah!

    it was interesting to watch. i do enjoy a good kung fu movie every once in a while. although i was kinda dragged into seeing this movie by my sister who was simply curious about it, i was pleasantly surprised that john woo was able to pull off a 2 1/2 hr war film. there were st...( read more)ill the cheezy lines being spouted out of their dubbed lips (as characteristic of any john woo film) but it was tolerable enough because the film was surprisingly smart. there were parts when my siblings and i just burst out in laughter due to the silliness and there were parts where it kinda dragged on but it was an okay movie if you want to pass the time away.

    Depending on which release you saw, these films vary. I saw the original chinese version where it was dubbed into english. The whole movie is quite long at around 4 hours. Combining parts 1 and 2. Some good eastern philosphy in here, but some of it is a bit hard to believe. grea...( read more)t fight/action seqeunces and choreography.

    Welcome back John Woo! Seriously, this film is epic. People will nitpick that perhaps the film may be slow at times because all of the action is placed at the end of the film, but I doubt they will complain once those those ships start sailing. It's 40 minutes of pure mayhem all ...( read more)being orchestrated by the man that has now reclaimed his position as being one of the top directors in the world.
