3/5
The writer, Shen Jian, and the director, Jing Chen, have made no concessions to the non-Chinese viewer in their compressed, chaotic narrative. Go to Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 04/21/2011

This busy attempt at merging large-scale CGI action filmmaking with outsized historical drama is unremarkable. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 05/13/2011

02/26/2017 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. See more 02/23/2014 Lacks real depth, rushed despite its length. Wished there was more development, this is such a disappointment See more 03/31/2013 The Warring States falls short of spectacular but the overall product is worth the watch. See more 12/31/2011 Hey, let's take a sad and pointless movie and give it the saddest, most pointless ending ever!
