Red Cliff II

Hmm....How to say this...
I still like the big dramatic effect of big battle scene where the blood just spill like tomato sauce. I think the vampires may have their fill there. Plus they can tah bao back home and freeze for further use.

Kudos for the CGI effects.

As for the storyline, well lets just say it retains some of its humour like Zhuge Liang asking if the tortoise has sweated and when this general Zi Jing was talking to the scarecrow when Zhuge refused to answer his question.
I am glad that Sun Shang Xiang played by Vicky Zhao has experienced some kind offirst love before she married an old man. But that young lad was killed in the final battle.

But there are some unexplainable details like How did Vicky Zhao get into the camp without anyone noticing? How come no one shoot down a pigeon for a meal? How come Xiao Qiao was able to get away from the camp and who dares to row her to the enemy side? How come she told her husband about her pregnancy in a letter after she went to the enemy camp? Was she trying to help her husband or destroy him? How come she nee 1 hour to cook tea? How come she was killed when she behave so sarcastically to Cao Cao? ..........
Tonnes of questions left hanging....
