The first chapter of a two-part story centered on a battle fought in China's Three Kingdoms period (220-280 A.D.).
In 208 A.D., in the Han Dinasty of China, the tyrannic and greedy Prime Minster Cao Cao forces the reluctant Emperor Han to declare war against the kingdoms of Liu Bei and Sun Quan in the South of China. Cao Cao heads with a mighty army of one million soldiers and attacks Liu Bei. His advisor and war strategist Zhuge Liang heads to South in a diplomatic mission trying to convince Sun Quan to join force with Liu Bei against the powerful warlord. When Zhuge Liang meets the viceroy Zhou Yu, he succeeds in his assignment with the alliance of the two kingdoms against Cao Cao. The armies fight against each other in many battles until the final one in Red Cliff where guile, knowledge and strategy prevail.
In my own opinion, this movie is full of "half and half". It's claimed to be based on history (not the fiction "Romance of Three Kingdoms") however characters are hilarious, not serious as great politicians should be. It's supposed to be a movies with battlefields and strategies however parts with personal lifestyles are more than that. So, it's neither an entertainment movie (have so many killings and bloods) nor a serious movie about war (have so many jokes).
Characters of this movie are like from a TV series. Generals showed no special skill in fighting but can manage to kill all of enemy's soldier. Zhao Yun stood carelessly in the middle of a battle to persuade Liu Bei's wife to leave. All the weapons are put on Guan Yu's blade so that he can easily put them out. By a trivial shake, Guan Yu's can escape from all of enemy soldier's blade pointing to him. Zhang Fei crushed into the enemy with no weapon in hand. Zhou Yu used his own body to take an arrow for someone, and let the arrow stick at his heart's side. Wei's generals chasing a girl into a bunch of dusts without any doubts.
Nonetheless, officers are not better. After running away from Cao Cao, Shu's officers gave trivial analysis for the situation. All officers in Wu behaved like children during the discussion with ZhuGe Liang: noisy, messy, and no serious arguments. Wu's army was described as highly disciplined, but the general, Zhou Yu, could stop the training halfway to talk to a farmer and his servant. Zhou Yu was described as having a sharp ear but could not hear the tiger coming from behind. Again, Zhou Yu later gave a trivial lesion about the rope when other characters, big heroes, were listening seriously. Sun Guan could kill a tiger without any specific skill and training.
In other word, the director might want too much and go to nowhere. He might want a movie closed to history but his characters are not. He might want human-like heroes but his characters show no specific skill in both fighting and thinking to be real heroes/leaders.
It's 208 A.D. China. The ruthless Prime Minster Cao Cao has vanquished every warlord in the north. He bullies the weak Han emperor to invade the two remaining southern kingdoms led by the wise Liu Bei and the inexperienced Sun Quan. Liu Bei suffers devastating losses while protecting refugees. His strategist Kongming convinces Sun Quan to join the fight.
John Woo delivers a giant CGI-filled action-packed historical epic. The action is fun. Woo brings his hyper-reality style. I would have liked more reality than hyper-reality. One can't deny the epic nature of the mass fighting scenes. The shortened American version does leave the characters stilted and lacking in depth. They are only highlight reels delivering needed expositions for the battles.
While handsome and intelligent and perfectly easy to sit through, never really approaches the visceral tug of Mr. Woo’s Hong Kong hits.
The original Hong Kong Version of the first movie runs approx. 145 minutes, the complete International Version 143 minutes. One can do the math. Approx. 50 percent of each movie were cut out. a5c7b9f00b
