dualhunter Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 1 hour ago, Greatoneshere said: Red Cliff is one of my favorite movies of all time - I have the uncut versoin ("international version") on blu-ray. John Woo crushed it with that film, and yes it's an action film that is 4+ hours long and works. If anyone is interested, just make sure you're seeing the international version and avoid the very cut-up theatrical US version. Amazing, amazing film. Not that most of them are good, but most Bollywood films, including their action films, are usually 3-4+ hours long. The listed time is 12 minutes short of 5 hours (288 minutes). Apparently it was originally released in 2 parts about 6 months apart. I saw it in theatre and have the full version on Blu-ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully I knew of region codes and I was also looking for an import copy of Ip Man 2 . Think I imported from DVDasia and me and Buddy watched it over 2 days. It really is one big epic movie and looked/sounded great on system. I think I had both movies in my collection 2-3 months before anything on this side of the pound got it. Importing (when affordable) is awesome, and sadly necessary for my more recent 3D films. This would of been great to see in 3D if it were Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know. I bought my import copy like I said, about 3 months before it even got its N. American theatrical release. Just saying it would of looked cool in 3D. Not the best movie but if it were near The Great Wall 3D release, it would of been something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 As amazingly fantastic as Red Cliff is (and also being a HUGE Dynasty Warriors fan to boot), I love that film. However, I have to say that Takashi Miike's "13 Assassins" ranks higher up the list for that genre of film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because of the shorter runtime but I liked the tighter nit story , and cast of characters 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play and watch almost everything with subtitles because my hearing isn't great (and whisper acting over loud music is apparently a fad). That said, if you think scenes aren't lessened as you flick your eyes down literally every new sentence you're nuts. Does it make it unwatchable? Obviously not, but it absolutely makes it worse. I love it when I'm both in an environment quiet enough with audio mixing that makes dialog more audible to me, because then I can actually fully focus on the visuals of an extremely visual medium.

Spork3245 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 The more important DC release on HBO Max in the past 24 hours was/is Superman TAS. It’s release means that ALL of the Timm-verse DCAU is now available on HBO Max: Batman TAS/TNABR, Superman TAS, Justice League, JLU, Batman Beyond, AND all of the canonical movies (Mask of the Phantasm, Sub-Zero, Mystery of the Batwoman, and Return of the Joker). Watch all of this instead of that 4-hour garbage JL movie. You’re welcome. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
