Three Kingdoms: Resurrection Of The Dragon (2008)

Despite so many negative review, i still went to watch it as i wish to judge it myself. A hardcore fan of three kingdoms expectations of the movie relatively high. Starting Zhao Zilong(Andy Lau) join Liu Bei's Army as recruits? How come? And there is a Luo Ping An, who is he? just another friction character like cao ying. worst thing is the brotherhood of zhao yun and luo ping an. if i didnt remember wrongly, zhao yun only become sworn brother of zhao fan and no one else. luo ping an is more like an extra in the movie. somemore when liu bei see zhao yun, he didnt recongised him. In the three kingdom history, liu bei already know zhao yun since his time when gongsun zan. Vanessa Wu as guan ping, his scene last for few minutes even lesser than guan yu and zhang fei. The scene of zhao yun saving ah dou is the only scene following the three kingdom history but somehow still have some changes like liu bei's wife is already dead(when supposed that the wife throw herself into the well).Zhao yun fought off all wei soldiers with valour. somehow, he managed to attack cao cao and snatched his sword which is totally untrue. the truth is zhao yun got the sword through killing xiahou en(cao cao give the sword to xiahou en) What makes me confused is when did deng zhi got three brothers??? zhao yun should already have zhao tong and zhao guang in his old age. but i didnt see them in the movie. being left out? As a summary, the whole movie is disappointing for hardcore fans of three kingdoms like me. hopefully in june the Red Cliff will be the better one
