Red Cliff: Part 1 & 2 reviews

Red Cliff is a beautifully crafted epic, with battle scenes of such scope, style, and detail it puts most Hollywood efforts to shame.

Don’t be put off by the subtitles or 5 hour run-time either. The film is well-paced with many clever and touching moments as it builds towards its climactic end, and does not feel too long at all. It pains me to think what they must have cut for the single disc version, which is a full 140 minutes shorter.

Often on special for $20 – $30, at that range the blu-ray is great value too. So do yourself a favour and watch this movie the way it is meant to be seen!

I love foreign language films but this one is truly outstanding. It is a long movie with drama, action and wonderful set pieces. You come to like the many characters and their struggle for justice against overwhelming odds and destruction of lives by a ruthless foe. The battles are epic and in true Chinese style are colourful and hauntingly beautiful. Yes I love this movie.

A remarkable story based on the true historical events between a once non-unified nation. Cutting edge martial arts for the action fans, and heartfelt romantic story for the ladies. Definitely an all round two-part motion picture that defines the actions of a corrupt dynasty driven by greed, love and the will succeed. Featuring some of Asia's best actors and a touching musical score. Red cliff is a story not to miss

This is a great film, if you are considering buying “The Battle of Red Cliff” because it is cheaper, do yourself a favour and buy this instead. It is well worthwhile watching the two movie's in full rather than the condensed version. Cinematography is amazing and the action scenes are as good as I have seen

Cinematography is awesome and the special effect unbelievable . Big scale ,big screen a must see if you like Asian Kungfu .
