 B- |
It's too busy courting genre cliches to mine anything transcendent, which runs counter to the promise inherent in the title. Full Review |

|
B- |
Takes all the elements of the classic Westerns, mixes them with Eastern spiritualism, and comes out with a film that is at least noteworthy, if not especially brilliant. Full Review |

2.5/4 |
For most of its two-hour running time, it's a pretty solid action yarn that echoes both the swordsman epics of Akira Kurosawa, as well as some of the Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Westerns. Full Review |

3/4 |
The movie has so much that's great that you forgive when it veers into Indiana Jones territory. Full Review |

|
|
The acting is uniformly compelling. Full Review |

|
3/5 |
An enjoyably pulpy story, occasionally slow-moving and pretentious Full Review |
||
 3/5 |
Unfortunately, the two main protagonists, Lieutenant Li and Lai Xi, are too much the strong, silent type to engage us as heroes, or even characters. Full Review |

Monotonous. Full Review |

3/4 |
Remarkable for its stimulating, metaphor-rich setting. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
Warriors ransacks enough of the dust-swept battle genre (start with Sergio Leone, Akira Kurosawa, and John Ford) to have no rousing or opulent B-movie personality of its own. Full Review |
||
|
B- |
A fairly rousing example of the genre. Full Review |
||
|
|
Be patient, and you'll get rewarded with a good old-fashioned castle siege that's worth the wait. Full Review |
||
|
B- |
For eyes that have overindulged in the stylized razzle-dazzle of Hero, the grit, dust, and occasional cheese of Warriors of Heaven and Earth come as a corrective slap. Full Review |
||
|
4/5 |
Easily one of 2004's most thrilling adventures. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
A rollicking cross between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. Full Review |
