It's difficult to quantify exactly what Dynasty Warriors does well.

Dynasty Warriors is a bit of a mess. While some moments are fun and I did enjoy the extra lore nods the film is poorly paced on top of everything else and has a rather flat finale. Best avoided, sadly…

Theres little reason to check out Dynasty Warriors if youre not familiar with any of its source material. In fact, its highly advisable that your first foray into the Three Kingdoms period not be this film.

Dynasty Warriors runs with its video game sourcing to present a number of bad-on-good showdowns, and also levels up to some sweeping period action.
