The Warlords Ratings & Reviews

The best Chinese historical film ever!
The Atlantic
Ed Koch
I think it is worth seeing but not one that must be seen.
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
This film has real scope, showing fantastic battle sequences that rival Hollywood films like Braveheart.
Seanax.com
Sean Axmaker
... a muscular character piece set against a massive war and the power relationships behind the battles (as well as more severed limbs than I've seen in a single film).
Detroit News
Tom Long
Doesn't break ground; in fact, it carries on a tradition. But it does so with both flair and passion.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
Warlords is so intent on expertly choreographed, but repetitive, enormo-battles that there isn't much time to develop characters (and the less said about a tacked-on romance, the better).
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
A tale of noble brotherhood compromised by self-interest and a messy love triangle, The Warlords, ultimately, tries to speak to the futility of war - but it does so by staging one gargantuan dustup after another.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
In The Warlords, war is heaven. In fact, it makes everything else seem tedious by comparison.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
The Warlords gets a release in the United States nearly 2 1/2 years after its Hong Kong premiere, and it's a wonder it took so long.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
It's all lavish, if disposable. But in a nifty change of pace, the warriors in The Warlords are interesting.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
It is the rising friction between the blood brothers that holds the story together. The arguments about loyalty and larger missions that tear at their alliance feel both age old and completely current.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Fans of action master Jet Li won't be disappointed, even if the opportunities for virtuoso maneuvers by him are few.
The Hollywood Reporter
Maggie Lee
Although the film is impressive in its physical aspects, the adultery of Pang and his blood brother's wife, Lian (Xu Jinglei), is underdrawn as a sexual skirmish whose influence on events is diminished.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
At 113 minutes (the original Chinese edition runs 126 minutes), The Warlords is overlong.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Epic in scope but intimate in theme, The Warlords heaves with spectacular battles and the relentless sway of self-interest over conscience.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
What should be a massive WWII-style war-is-hell allegory instead devolves into an absurdly turgid love triangle that barely kept my attention.
Associated Press
David Germain
While Li, Lau and Kaneshiro bring warmth, humor and pathos to their roles as blood brothers bound for tragedy, they're better to watch in action or when quietly brooding than when pontificating on what they owe to one another and the warriors they lead.
AV Club
Noel Murray
The battle sequences [are] suitably intense, especially in the early going, when Li, Lau, and Kaneshiro, low on manpower, rely on wicked-looking traps and ambushes to get the job done.
Village Voice
Rob Nelson
Chan's old-fashioned, highly watchable mega-production comes complete with God's-eye surveys of mass carnage, the moist sounds of sword-skewering, and little or no discernible CGI.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Whereas Chan's narrative (scripted by a whopping eight writers) settles into a standard rise-and-fall arc, his fight sequences exhibit a punchy vigor.
