Band of blood brothers which goes horribly wrong. Great tone and pacing. Third act has the Shakespeare tragedy about it and the brutality to go with it. A well grounded epic.

It looked messy for me, maybe a bad DVD. Even though I thought it had a really drab colour pallet and uninspiring images. It didn't look bad but it didn't look good either. It was just a bit dull. I hated the dubbing. It was distractingly bad. I wish that it was a subtitled movie. The sound design was fine otherwise. Again could be an issue with the DVD. I understood the story but also I didn't. Hard to explain. It was really boring though with unexciting action and dull story like in Braveheart (1995). So the technical issues with my DVD are a bit irrelevant if the film isn't worth watching in the first place. Far too boring to be enjoyable.

A very powerful film This war is a underrated movie and worth watching

The warlords is an OK Chinese film that starts off OK but the film got a little more confusing as it went on. The action scenes are OK but they seem toned down even with R rating. It’s an OK Chinese martial arts film I’ve seen better but I’ve seen worse. It’s just wish the plot was easier to follow.

Bloody and full of philosophical brilliance, Li adds another stirring performance to his epical repertoire.

Watched it thinking it's a Historical War Epic, felt like it's a mixture of drama with little silent type romance thrown in with no consideration given on storytelling, flow and pace of the movie. It was like watching random scenes with little sense to them, might be the dubbing was lacking. There is very little action, the only sequence there is, is badly choreographed. Got no complains on the acting side, it seemed solid just the direction & editing was a let-down.

Epic for the way it depicts the 19th century China and the world's deadliest rebellion ever that few outside China know much out. The story has appeal although for those unfamiliar with the cultural values and norms, a lot may appear trivially sentimental. Spectacular production and great costumes.

so much money spent on this film. I was expecting more

Review: What an epic movie! I quite enjoyed this deep action movie about 3 warriors who join forces to fight against the Taiping Rebellion. There vow to each other is questioned after certain situations draw the brothers apart, during a time were they don't know who is there friend or there enemy. The storyline was very well put together, but the ending seemed a bit random and unexplainable. The action scenes were epic and very detailed and the backdrop of the whole film was impressive. All of the actors put in a believable performance, especially Jet Li who had some emotional scenes. On the downside, the political side to the movie was a bit confusing but I quite enjoy this big budget spectacular. Enjoyable! Round-Up: This is the second movie in my Jet Li series and I can definitely say that he is a versatile actor. Everyone is used to seeing Jet Li using his martial arts to take down his enemies, but this film is based around the war era, so it would have looked a bit odd if he was going around kicking people's butt. The chemistry between the 3 characters was brilliant and the seriousness on Jet Li's face throughout the movie made it intense, especially during the war scenes. I'm becoming a fan of Andy Lau, who starred in movies like the great Shaolin and House Of Flying Daggers and I also liked Takeshi Kaneshiro who plays the other guy in the brotherhood and also starred in House Of Flying Daggers. Anyway, I'm not one that usually likes reading subtitles whilst trying to watch a movie, but they really didn't spoil this well put together film. Budget: $40million Worldwide Gross: $130,000 (What A Flop!) I recommend this movie to people who are into their Jet Li movies about 3 friends who make a pact to protect each other whilst fighting against the Taiping Rebellion. 7/10

Movie that chronicles that mid-nineteenth century in China, there is a bloody civil war that left fifty million dead

A well-made example of the genre, even if it doesn't extend it.

Great epic Chinese war movie staring Jet Li, Andy Lau, and Takeshi Kaneshiro as three brothers living and dying as one!

Good action but often the story goes wayward making it hard to follow.

A lengthy, but decent period war drama.

Warlords [China, 2007] It's hard to see the difference of this one from other films of the same genre, but Takeshi Kaneshiro stole my heart. 5/10

Meme si certaines sequences de guerre sont particulierement reussies et que les trois acteurs principaux sont excellents, Andy Lau en tete, Les Seigneurs de la Guerre est un film bien trop long pour son bien et finit par ouvrir trop de parentheses pour rester aussi passionnant du debut a la fin. De plus, Peter Ho-Sun Chan n'est pas le meilleur realisateur quand il s'agit de filmer des discussions politiques.

Between the godawful camera work, the stiff acting, the terrible script, and the forgettable soundtrack, there lay a plot that was infuriatingly interesting. Not unlike a victim in a "Saw" movie I attempted to suffer through. From the first five minutes, I had very bad feelings about this movie. Confirmed by a POV shot from the perspective of a bowl of soup being served (I'm serious), the film continued to spiral downward. Skip this turd.

An emotional power house of a movie accompanied with great action delivered by seasoned actors.

Great movie Jet Li in another Epic movie I love asian movies , this has everything you need great story fight scenes heaps of action a love story great directional filming and costumes and acting

Amazing story special effects and acting. Jet li will be acting for years to come
