Competent on all fronts but never dazzling, it should please genre devotees but won't cross over to a broader audience.

A spectacularly miscalculated historical epic.

Rated: 1/4

Los Angeles Times

A character-driven battle epic that plays more like a brightly rendered action-adventure than a starchy history lesson.

While the first hour is rather sluggish, Gordon Chan's film eventually comes good to deliver the exciting finale that the set-up deserves.

Rated: 3/5

The sustained intensity of the action is thoroughly thrilling, even if the narrative often feels cut up and compacted.

Everything is fantastic except the repetitiveness, feels to me like a lot of bla bla and repetitive fights and bosses just to make the game last longer. Whenever I come across a new plot that will make the story move forward, it just leads to more fights and borin quests. In fact, it's like the main story is made out of many side stories . Also the arsenal amelioration system is too complicated for me, I couldn't figure out many of its aspects although I'm more thqn halfway through the game, looks more like an RPG with all these runics,artefacts,special objects, more special objects, too many attacks and skills to memorize for each character etc...

I enjoyed this one as I thought it was a good story along with good battle action to keep you entertained with the story of Japanese pirates invading Chinese coastlines.

Movie lacks depth. Weak character development with haphazard scenes. Action choreography was good. What a waste.

It's sooo Chinese. Propaganda and what not. 20k versus 1000 Chinese and guess who wins? The movie is historically inaccurate however the costumes, acting, martial arts are excellent.
