Nick Schager Village Voice A morass of melodramatic romance, torture, and suicide. Apr 25, 2011 Full Review Mike Hale 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 Apr 22, 2011 Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times This busy attempt at merging large-scale CGI action filmmaking with outsized historical drama is unremarkable. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 21, 2011 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Thrilling and exhilarating. Prepare to be at the edge of your seat from start to finish. Rated: 8.692121/10 May 13, 2011 Full Review Brent Simon 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. Rated: 2/5 Apr 25, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Mainly to see Jing Tian Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/03/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Lacks real depth, rushed despite its length. Wished there was more development, this is such a disappointment Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member The Warring States falls short of spectacular but the overall product is worth the watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Hey, let's take a sad and pointless movie and give it the saddest, most pointless ending ever! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Thought it was a bit long but the interaction between the characters carried most parts of the movie through well. Epic movie!
