Twitch reviews John Woo’s Red Cliff

Twitch reviews John Woo’s Red Cliff:

Red Cliff is hands down highly recommended, not only for those familiar with the story (and who’re likely to find fault with some minor tweaks to supporting characters in involvement and names), but makes a great entry point to the rich stories of brotherhood, valor, bravery which sits snugly in any John Woo movie, and I guess to reintroduce a whole new generation to the era of the warring states, especially to our friends in the West. John Woo had given plenty of respect to the source material, and his meticulous treatment had shone through some of the slower scenes, such as taking time to highlight the peacetime roles of the various generals of the Liu Bei camp. I can’t wait to continue where this movie left off!

This review makes me a very happy boy. Woo was long overdue for a return to form.
