John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter Competent on all fronts but never dazzling, it should please genre devotees but won't cross over to a broader audience. Jun 5, 2017 Full Review Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com A spectacularly miscalculated historical epic. Rated: 1/4 Jun 2, 2017 Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times A character-driven battle epic that plays more like a brightly rendered action-adventure than a starchy history lesson. Jun 1, 2017 Full Review Jamie Healy Radio Times 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 May 9, 2024 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine Genre fans will be in for a treat; other viewers might need a little patience to get to the good stuff. Rated: 7/10 Sep 26, 2021 Full Review Daniel Barnes Dare Daniel The sustained intensity of the action is thoroughly thrilling, even if the narrative often feels cut up and compacted. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 29, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Ouzal D 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... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review John B 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Movie lacks depth. Weak character development with haphazard scenes. Action choreography was good. What a waste. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Sincerely, I thought that this movie is slow. I didn't finish to watching it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Amazing Chinese story and choreography Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
