Movies

Finally got to watch both Red Cliff & Hellboy 2... but as usual, expectations too high = disappointment... I not saying the movies not good but juz NOT AS GOOD AS EXPECTED...

Red Cliff drew mixed reviews from different people... some find it good, some tink it's crap... well... I tink it all boils down to wat kind of mentality u are watching it with... it is obviously a commercialized film... script has been edited & elements included to increase the entertainment value... but from the historical point of view, if u are a loyal supporter of 三国演义 or 三国志 and are expecting something like a historical classic, then tis movie is quite crappy... for me personally, I juz treat it like any other normal movie... quite entertaining, I like war movies... and it's definitely WAY BETTER than the previous 三国 movie by Andy Lau, tat one is really wat I would describe as TOTAL CRAP... but if there's one thing I realli dun like abt Red Cliff, it's how Zhuge Liang is portrayed in the movie... initially, I am oredi quite repelled by the idea of Takeshi Kaneshiro taking the role... Zhuge Liang is a total joker or worse, clown in the movie... tink the real Zhuge Liang will turn in his grave sia...

Nothing much to say abt Hellboy 2... juz another normal superhero movie... the parts abt Hellboy & the fish-guy being all love-struck are cheesy at times... but I dun regret watching the show la... and I will catch the sequel as well (yes, the movie oredi hinted abt a sequel)...

Next up... Batman:The Dark Knight... heard from EVERYONE who watched commenting it's good... so I have high hopes on tis one...
