After the slight disappointment from the first movie, the second one, where most of the major plot and action lies, landed the fatal blow for both me and my Dad in totality.Having grown up on tales from Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I understand that many parts of the romanticised version may not have actually happened in history. But what I saw what utter nonsense! Especially the final battle where all the major characters met in the final battle. Totally unheard of!!!
For a person who Loves history (especially that of China), the movie should not be given that name or at least the story could have stuck slightly closer to what we already know. However, whatever went on screen was a total abomination of John Woo's imagination. Although John Woo did give us a better tomorrow and some of those really classic triad shows, he should really stick to what he do better than re-writing China's history just to make the box office. It is somewhat disgusting to him being a Chinese if you ask me.
For those who do not know much of the history aspect of the Three Kingdom. You may find the movie experience a more enjoyable one as did my Girlfriend. But please do not relate this too much to history as it isn't.
