i did not read the well-loved novel, Romance of the Three Kingdom.
Therefore, i walked in to the movie premier last Thur with zero anticipation as i am completely clueless of this epic tale.
So i'm writing this review based solely on what i have watched.
Nothing against the original tale.
i believed the main distraction of this movie would be the casting choice.
Although this does not really bother me at all since both leads are my personal favorites.
& since i have no idea how the original characters' personalities are like, i have no comparison to make.
Script wise is pretty well taken care of (at least this first half of the movie is).
Great scenery, sound effect & CGI.
Though some scenes seem to have been edited from National Geography.
Tony Leung's performance is just as expectedly electrolyzing good.
Takeshi brought intelligent & wittiness to this character. *i like*
Vicki reminds me too much of her 小燕子 role in 环环珠格格.
Chang Chen delivers a pretty above average standard too.
Although very frequently, my heart goes out to the poor horses during the war scenes.
All in all, this movie should go down well with guys esp. those that love Romance of the Three Kingdom.
If not, there is always 志玲姐姐 to serve as eye candy for u guys.
For ladies, watching Tony or Takeshi for 2hrs sounds like a pretty good deal right!
Anyway, with a movie budget of US$80 million, u can never be wrong to watch it.
