Highest Grossing Eight Hundred
I seldom review a Chinese movies I try my best here to give you an honest review..
I don't what is the propaganda about where the movie tries to glorify Chinese as brave and bold but as I finished watching the movie I went to you tube to do more research and reviews . What I finds out amazed me the whole river set was actually built from scratch whilst the building too.. it was real building and people in it not done green cgi screen.
This is the first impressive Chinese mainland movie that use impressive CGI the action was top notch, it even shows the stronger side of Japanese which is much more superior in their battle wits which rarely you get to see in a Chinese movies, most of the Chinese Mainland or even Hong Kong Movies till now still depict Japanese as inferior during the WW2 period
The movie also have some touching moments such as the last battle scene moments, the suicide bombing moments overall , the ending crossing the bridge moments etc.
There are some down point too may be due to the director tries to fit in over more than 30 characters all in the movie with given time.. most of the character makes it very forgettable and hard to resonate too the director should cut down to 10-12 characters so that we can blend in with more characters.
Overall it was a great movie.. no wonder the movie is the highest grossing movie in the world year 2020.
