So I’ve been getting back into the Dynasty Warriors games recently. I’ve been playing them on and off since I was a kid, but over the last couple weeks, whenever I find any scrap of spare time in-between getting these reviews written up, I’ve been delving back in the world of Chinese military politics and fundamentally ridiculous weaponry. I love the hell out of these games (even if the more recent entries haven’t done much for me), and while the average for video game adaptations is still in the red despite recent efforts, I was quite looking forward to this film in particular. And sure enough, it delivers on all the bombast and astonishingly hammy fun that makes the franchise what it is.
