I found it a bit confusing. I enjoyed the old school Streamline dub though. Scholars of Chinese history might enjoy this more.

It's too compressed for its own good, since it tries to tell every event prior to the main war in just 135 minutes. As a result you have all the highlights and a surprisingly good characterization for Cao Cao, but there's almost no build up between those major events, taking credibility and solid characterization away from the movie. It's decent but I prefer the 1985 movie focused on just the Red Cliff battle, which I assume will be present on one of the sequels of this one.

Animation was terrible but yeah the story really got me; when his mother was there for the wedding i damn near cried.
It’s time to ditch the text file.
