Its story is a sloppy and dull affair barely held together by brief fights reminiscent of the games it's based on.
It seems like they’re a difficult thing to get right, which might take a little pressure off Dynasty Warriors - a movie adaptation of the popular hack-and-slash videogame franchise by Tecmo Koei, and known for ludicrously huge battlefields and chaotic action.ĭynasty Warriors isn’t as bad as Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, but it’s no Sonic the Hedgehog either.
Sometimes they turn into epic misfires like Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, and other times you get something surprisingly good, like Sonic the Hedgehog. Videogame adaptations are a tricky thing. This movie could've been ridiculous fun, but it's just ridiculous.
Review: Dynasty Warriors is another game adaptation that gets very little right
