Congratulations, you are a complete idiot who just proved my point. I said earlier the only people who rate this movie low are those who complain about the storyline not matching with the fictional novel, not only does that review bitch about it several times he goes out of his way and brings up something as random as Dynasty Warriors just to throw it in. Also I can tell he doesn't understand the movie and the direction they took it by him complaining about the narriting by Ping even though since the begining the entire journey was told by his experience. He also expressed hating anything except action and war which is pure simpleton shit, the movie was made through a subtle approach for realism which is why its on my favorites. One more thing, I highly doubt there was any undercranking the film (speeding up) done..If there was, its the most believable in any film I've ever seen..
I've never watched older Andy Lau films so I wouldn't know, but Andy Lau hasn't been in as many war movies as Tony Leung who has had more training than him by far. The other main characters don't have much info on them (Guan Yu, Zhao Yun) but Gan Ning has played in martial art films, he was the last opponent in Fearless come on man lol...
He wasn't "flying" if you looked closely you would notice the cliff he jumped from was taller than the one he landed on, which was why the horse appeared that it would have almost made it but theres no way in hell it would of landed without wrecking. Obviously they used a green screen for that part and recorded the horse actually jumping, they just slowed the part down to give it a more suspenseful effect even though it was cheap.
One last thing that I find absolutely sick about Red Cliff and digusts me to even watch, you know someone actually died in the making of the film from a fire right? Fuckin amateurs I tell ya, next time hire a professional lol..
btw if u watch all movies like u watched 13 Assassins im not suprised u think TH is one of the best movies, and my point is that in final battle in 13 Assasins there is shitloads of samurais with spears idiot
