Village Voice

A morass of melodramatic romance, torture, and suicide.

New York Times

The writer, Shen Jian, and the director, Jing Chen, have made no concessions to the non-Chinese viewer in their compressed, chaotic narrative.

Rated: 3/5

Los Angeles Times

This busy attempt at merging large-scale CGI action filmmaking with outsized historical drama is unremarkable.

Screen International

Director Jin Chen's grand historical epic evinces some impressive costume design and much natural scenic beauty, but never locates a particularly persuasive or enrapturing tone.

Don't listen to the critic reviews you see on this one. It's enjoyable, great special effects, acting, and use of colors. Also its not too long which is a big plus since a lot of movies these days are way too long.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Lacks real depth, rushed despite its length. Wished there was more development, this is such a disappointment

The Warring States falls short of spectacular but the overall product is worth the watch.

Hey, let's take a sad and pointless movie and give it the saddest, most pointless ending ever!

Thought it was a bit long but the interaction between the characters carried most parts of the movie through well. Epic movie!
