Critic Reviews for The Lost Bladesman

All Critics (7) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (3)

After a while it all becomes a bit predictable, especially as the political motivations are, to the uninitiated, more than slightly opaque.

At the Movies (Australia)
Problems of scale limit the film's clarity and its emotional power.

Paul Byrnes
Sydney Morning Herald
An epic historical martial arts film with thin characters, a tepid love story and some excellent fight sequences with the long-handled crescent-moon blade.

There's something really robust about actually seeing a fight rather than the cutaways and the illusion of a fight rather than a real fight.

Margaret Pomeranz
At the Movies (Australia)
The Lost Bladesman starts off big and rather cool and ends up an intimate epic hot and heavy with spent passions and an aura of sadness that's unexpectedly moving.

While the action is impressive, the human drama and characterisation of the potentially fascinating warrior General Guan Yu is sadly one-dimensional.

Jarrod Walker
FILMINK (Australia)
I found the storytelling a little confusing, mostly due to the plethora of characters who are mentioned in the context of the wars that are taking place or about to. But aside from that, the film works as a well made genre piece
