Elizabeth Kerr The Hollywood Reporter Sky Hunter barely even cuts it as an action film. Oct 13, 2017 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Overall, "Sky Hunter" had all the prerequisites of becoming a "Wolf Warrior 2", but some unfortunate choices in the crew (particularly Zhang Li's script) and the excessive use of CGI prevent it from reaching its true potential. Oct 20, 2019 Full Review Richard Yu Cinema Escapist Sky Hunter is a decent action flick without any ridiculous plot elements. Jul 3, 2019 Full Review Joanne Soh The New Paper (Singapore) Sky Hunter has all the bells and whistles for an action blockbuster, but is actually an ultra-patriotic propaganda film that showcases the country's latest high-flying arsenal. Oct 19, 2017 Full Review Yip Wai Yee The Straits Times (Singapore) ... seems to be a thinly disguised showcase of China's military might in the skies. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 18, 2017 Full Review James Marsh South China Morning Post While it mixes red-blooded jingoism with romance and playful camaraderie in the hope of recapturing Wolf Warrior 2's recent success, the film struggles to take flight. Rated: 1.5/5 Oct 17, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

samitha b The story was hopeless. But the CGI, was outstanding. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Sky Hunter is a decent action flick up to par with Hollywood popcorn blockbusters, which is impressive! Not sure why people brand it as a propaganda movie. A little double standard is taken into account when handling chinese military movies, it's kind of sad. I think people dont know what propaganda means anymore. Propaganda is information that is used to mislead and influence the public opinion in favor of for example a political standpoint. I see no portraying of propaganda none whatsoever in this movie. This movie even admits that China has no modern real life combat experience. What military propaganda admits their disadvantage? Also this movie promotes peace over war, and that the military should be only used for national security and defense and not for terror. If advocating peace and non intrusive military is propaganda, then I welcome this propaganda anytime! Other than that this movie shows brotherhood, comradeship, romance and love. It was entertaining from beginning to end, and the fairly unknown actors (except for Fan Bingbing the female protagonist, which is a superstar in China!) did a pretty good job acting out their characters. The Villains were convincing. The fighter jet dogfight scene, John Woo style showdown shooting fest in mid-air was memorable, though not realistic, but hey its a movie! The scene where the two fighter jet pilots exchanged words through their intercom while flying next to each other and daring each other out, is a scene I have never seen before in any action movie and may very well be an instant classic!
