I enjoy the Dynasty Warriors games, and I was hoping this movie would be just as over-the-top and silly. I was not disappointed!

This is silly, and cheesey, and the effects are purposefully laughable, and it was pretty much like watching one of the games.

I think it was well-cast, and everyone had just the right amount of melodrama and seriousness in their performances.

No, it's not a historical piece. No, it's not some serious drama-action like Hero. No, it's probably not even that good. But it IS very entertaining and a riot, and puts a smile on your face if you let it.

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.

I am not usually interested in this type of film, but this is unexpectedly good. The plot is engaging, and kept me interested throughout. The scenery is beautiful, and the production is pretty good too. I enjoyed it.

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.
