Red Cliff
Four and a half hours of pure unrestrained John Woo that completely breezed past like a 90 minute film. It was amazing to see such brilliant military strategy employed in a period film like this rather than just two side running at each other in a hack and slash. The understated performances between the lead General and the strategist where fantastic, sort of like the coffee table scene with Pacino and De Niro in Heat, but they're on the same side.
5/5
Immortals
The polar opposite of Red Cliff in intelligence. Mickey Rourke stole the show, I want his beer gut made of muscle. As a Greek I had no problem with Frieda Pinto (and her amazing arse) or the African American extras appearing in the film, so everyone who had a ***** about Idris Elba in Thor, shame on you, grow up. Henry Cavill came off a bit bland, which is a worry, when he got out Supermaned by Luke Evans.
I'm glad I didn't see this in 3D, when Pinto got her arse out, I would've started licking the air in the theatre.
3/5
