Zhen · San guo wu shuang (2021)
Good & Bad
This movie was somewhat based off the Dynasty Warrior games which was literally my childhood. The game was mainly based on stories of the three kingdoms (Shu, Wei and Wu) with playable characters where you kill hundreds to thousands of enemy soldiers.
The movie consists of a shorter story of the Yellow Turban but mainly focuses on the battle at Hu Lao Gate. The stories have definitely been shortened for this movie.
The CGI is a bit unrealistic as it mirrors the video game where the special moves can kill hundreds of soldiers at the same time. The fight scenes with Lu Bu and the other 3 in the water was a bit ridiculous.
Not a fan of the actors of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. It might have just been the costume, design or something.
The scene with Lu Bu and Diao Chan was corny.
If you have taken an interest in the actual stories of the Three Kingdom, here are a couple suggestions:
Three Kingdom (2010) - 95 episodes.
Red Cliff (2008) - Part 1
Red Cliff 2 (2009) - Part 2.
Three Kingdoms Resurrection Of The Dragon (2008) - Focuses on Zhao Zi Long.
The Lost Bladesman (2011) - Focuses on Guan Yu.
Luo man di ke xiao wang shi (2016)
It's okay.
The scenes were a bit jumbled in the first half of the film which could be confusing. It's almost like too many different plots going on and then doesn't continue until later on. There were some unnecessary introduction of minor characters that were kind of pointless. However you could understand what the director was trying to portray such as the theme of betrayal all throughout the film.
Zheng tu (2020)
Not too bad.
Dialogues were a little corny and predictable. However, the CGI and action were somewhat impressive.
