I have a feeling many of the bad reviews are from people that never played the game and were expecting a quality oscar winning movie. Or they played the game and someone had the same view that the movie would be some masterpiece. The movie is a PEFFECT match of what the game is. Fun, unadulterated action. It has many of the characters from the game, some of the weapons...etc. The movie is in now way mind blowing, deep and oscar worthy. Heck even most of the subtitles don't even match what the charecters are saying (if you decide to watch it in english with english subs). But I enjoyed the sillyness of the movie and over the top action.

I see why it's a low score, namely due to the lack of ending.

It is expected to continue as there are so many characters in play and to be developed.

Instead calling it a movie, they should call it Netflix series as it would be more suiting.

The fight scenes are just as crazy as the.video game series and brought back great memories!

The story is solid - has to be as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is considered a national treasure in China and has been told and retold for hundred years.

Overall I enjoyed the visual effects and storytelling.

The action, costumes and music fit very well. Of course it only uses the story of the Romance of the three Kingdoms as a background, as did the games. And of course the special actions in battle look quite unrealistic - not to say silly at times. But this is the same as the game and it fits as a movie version quite well.

Also the cast is mostly fitting, only CaoCao seems very young.

So for any fans of the video games (and maybe even for RoTK fans) enjoy this fun action movie for what it is.

The story wasn't bad. The acting wasn't terrible, and the music and setting were fantastic. The problem here is that they took a highly unrealistic Magic approach that amounted to more of a Dragon ball: Evolution than a Chinese War Epic. The video game was fantastic. It used magic to represent the immense talent of these legendary historical figures. However just because that approach worked well in a game doesn't mean it would in a movie. It COULD, with the right budget, but sadly it didn't here and rather than demonstrating the heroes talent with a blade they had then flinging fireballs and flailing weapons around in extremely unrealistic and silly ways that detracted from the historical plot.

A fair to mediocre effort ultimately ruined by bad CG and corny directing.
