Very entertaining and amazing visual effect!!, 15 August 2008
9/10
Author: megalembayung1 from Indonesia

Bravo to john woo, he made the Chinese movie like Hollywood style.. people can see amazing visual effect which is like we see on Hollywood movies. We see mostly visual effect used in like futuristic cinematography but this one is used with historical cinematography which made people obsessed to watch it... The story itself is not bad though i don't know any history of three kingdom but the red cliff made me keep watching the movie to learn the story itself...

I must say this is entertaining Hollywood style move but not kind of Oscar type movie...

Cant wait to see the 2nd part.. Anyway is this movie a box office in Asian continent (especially hongkong, taiwan, and china)
