Dynasty Warriors Movie Review

[@GreenPhoenix91]

" I enjoyed this new interpretation of cao cao as kind of sneaky." Josh that's how cao cao has always been he's a pragmatic villain.

[@boxtank5288]

Just pragmatic in my view, the guy isn't a villain in my view (Ambition on it's own is NOTHING and he sought to end the chaos, he had some good ideas too)

[@darkarpatron]

My favourite version of Cao Cao is from the 2010 tv series.

[@SavageHoundDusk]

Yeah actually this film exaggerates Cao Cao's scheming and manipulative side more than the games. He was always more ambitious warlord who EMPLOYS scheming strategists. As such I did not like this version of him because it ignored Guo Jia and Jia Xu in favor of just mixing them into Cao Cao. That felt wrong to me.

[@fiendish9474]

@@SavageHoundDusk that is true, however they are making a movie and adding too many focus characters might be bad for the story

[@SavageHoundDusk]

@@fiendish9474 it absolutely would've been bad. My idea was more giving sub characters their spots in cameos and fleshing them out more in sequels where they focus on them in different stages of the conflict.

[@cuddlelover]

I really like the way Josh talks about the movie. Very informative und you can hear that he puts alot of thought into his Script. Also his child-like smile is just wholesome :)

[@kingjbird92]

I loved it when Hua Xiong decapitated an opponent, their head would fly into the Alliance’s base like a home run ball! Such a camp thing to do but I loved it!

[@KazShiro]

Personally I would love them doing a sequel that goes over the events leading up to fan castle, guan du, or chibi. But Yknow who else felt like a 3rd wheel? That would be Wu in general i barely even saw Sun Jian but given the context of that era it was for the best

[@BunniesLikeBananas]

Eastern fight scenes tend to make fighters floaty. It’s a pretty common thing . Translating video game combos into the characters moves is kinda hard. And comparing to avengers end game to build characters is a flawed because a lot of characters had their own movies to establish them.

[@ThatGuyOnTheSpectrum]

The fact this movie exsists is still really cool ^_^

[@d-roe8923]

I been a dw fan from the game first came out and I gotta say I loved it especially as a movie based on a game it wasn’t perfect but it was way better than alot of game based movies and I’ll watch it again and support if they continue on with it,it has many potential in it waiting to be unleashed

[@shogun2heroicvictories15]

The Romance of the three kingdoms. Depending on how old you are when you encounter the series. you will favour the hero's differently. Young people tend to support the Liu Bei Faction - They represent benevolence and the underdog. Older people tend to prefer Cao's faction as his faction was based on merit, he never fought when his army was not prepared or could not support a campaign due to lack of supplies. I was the same, I used to prefer the Shu faction, but as I got older and watched ROTK again I preferred the Wei Faction. Despite Cao Cao's rep which he develops over time, I could see what he was trying to do. And as I got older I started to feel like Liu Bei was basically a con artist. But these interpretations are part of the fun of enjoying the chronicles. I mean it literally grows with you as you get older. your interpretation changes as your pure views on the world are tarnished by the realities of life.

[@ZeroJinKui]

not everyone works that way... i'm old, but i still favor shu. though i do like all the factions for different reasons.

[@shogun2heroicvictories15]

The Sun family was the true third wheel, like nearly all adaptations. This movie was not good. I'm glad some enjoyed it, but it failed hard, imo.

[@SavageHoundDusk]

Agreed.

[@JellyGODJet]

There was times in the movie were I thought that they combined Cao Cao and Cao PI's personalities from the game and same can be said about how Guan Yu was fighting too, incorporating things from Zhao Yun, especially when Lu Bu was holding his horse's tail to fight Zhang Yide (Fei) and Lieu (Liu) Bei

[@TheFinalBoss1995]

This movie would have benefited more if it has been a series instead, I still loved it, but It was clear that it needed more time to flesh out the characters and the overall story

[@sjacpswbs03162005]

I just have gripes with the character choices sometimes, making Cao Cao a loner absolutely killed his in-game characterisation, especially taking away the Xiahou brothers (yea ok maybe don't rehash the Wei story opening in 8 but come on!) and making Cao Ren generic. Chen Gong too. You have a whole side story involving a playable character but generic, and yet, Sun Ce appears for one scene in full costume, and Sun Quan is a child? Does Huang Gai and Han Dang not exist?

[@HylianWolfMage55]

I'm calling this right now: Your next collab is going to be with Chuggaaconroy.

[@autobotskyflame6287]

Morning. Didn't expect this to exist

[@erikstensaas1202]

As much of a fan of Dynasty Warriors as I am (I love the series), I think a movie doesn't do it justice. I think a TV series about Dynasty Warriors or Romance of the Three Kingdoms so we can become more attached to some of the characters like Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Guan Yu. It would also be more time to develop the narrative. Also let me know if you want to see me do a cover of Lu Bu's theme let me know (warning: it would be electric guitar only)

[@darkarpatron]

It'll be interesting to see if it tops the 2010 TV series for me, I can't imagine any other version of Cao Cao becoming my favourite after that show.

[@darkarpatron]

@awe yea That's a good point. It's like how I tried comparing 2010 TV Cao Cao to Dynasty Warriors Cao Cao, only to find it was unfair because each focused on different aspects. Dynasty Cao Cao is more about action, fighting and ruthlessness, 2010 Cao Cao is conniving, boastful, dangerously clever, poetic and ruthless in his own way, in addition to being an utter troll at times. One is meant to be played in a hack-and-slash, the other is meant to be watched as the "villain" of a story that you can't help but root for. (Honestly, if 2010 Cao Cao were in Game of Thrones, he would've given Littlefinger a run for his money as a schemer, Tywin a run as a man of presence and practicality and Tyrion a run as the charming and clever talker).

[@speaksincircles]

[@KittyKatty999]

The history class teacher spoiled the plot of this series with their "History Books" and "Historical References".

[@dmwanderer9454]

Pretty much the best movie on paper. Made for fans, cuts through all the bullshit to get to the fighting, and very fun/creative fight scenes.

[@jurtra9090]

Yes Joshscorcher finally talk about Dynasty Warriors again

[@tonysonic456]

Sounds like this movie is trying to be like Mortal Kombat 2021. Great for the fans, but bad for casuals. Personally speaking, I’d rather have a video game movie that is too faithful to the games rather than one that isn’t faithful enough. Because not only does that make the fans angry but it also confuses casuals. Like, if they like what they see and decide they want to play the games, they’re going to get something completely different and be massively let down.

[@john18563]

dynasty warriors is faithful to the game and the book. mortal kombat 2021 added the birth marks is a unforgettable betrayal.

[@tonysonic456]

Yeah, see, I think if anyone who ISN'T a Dynasty Warriors fan wants to watch this...don't? Theres' PLENTY of other options for knowing the story of the Three Kingdoms as a whole. Two of the biggest ones are that one live action show, and that one 90's anime that you can find on youtube right now, there's plenty of other options. Not to mention the actual book, and playing Dynasty Warriors (preferably 7 or 8 for the modern games, but most of the older ones are good too), and honorable mention to Total War Three Kingdoms, which got BRUTALLY shafted by its developers recently but it is STILL a great experience regardless, especially if you get some of the DLC.

[@boxtank5288]

I'm a Romance of the 3 Kingdoms fan, more then a Dynasty Warriors fan and I've only seen the trailer, but I have no interest in this movie. But, as he says, it's for fans of the game, not fans of the novel/history.

[@Rando1975]

Just a correction there have been 2 live action Three Kingdoms series. One in 1995 and in 2010. I certainly prefer the 2010 version. The 1995 version isn't bad, but the production values from the 2010 version below the 1995 away.

[@lunatic0verlord10]

And what's the line for Wu? Sun Quan's desk?

[@thiffio9134]

I’ll pass on it not as someone who never played a DW game but as someone who ironically enjoys bad video game adaptations. This mindset goes against what Josh says. “Most video game movies tend to neuter the source material by appealing to a general audience.” The templates of video games with no story pitch, such as Super Mario Bros., give the director creative freedom when it comes to making movies. *Isn’t it more important to critique a bad directing than a bad movie?* Anybody want to turn the emboldened question into a discussion?

[@310Dannr]

It’s based off a video game that has tons of characters so it doesn’t necessarily need to focus on one specific character. They did just enough to set you up for part 2 I would assume. General audience at the end of the film knows who Liu Bei, his brothers, Cao Cao, and LuBu is now. They even introduced you to Dian Ciao. Yeah maybe the yellow turban intro didn’t have be implemented but they needed something to set up the plot of the film.

[@canadan8339]

Only thing that killed Lu Bu's theme for me is that Lu Bu was just staring the whole time watching the fight , then when his theme ends now he decides to fight.

[@Obbie40]

I'm a relatively new DW fan. I've really only played DW7 and DW9. I am playing through DW8 right now, so my opinion may not mean much. I didn't like the movie. It didn't seem to completely follow the story of the games. The movie was pretty boring with a lot of dialogue to set up fights that weren't that interesting to watch. The pacing is poor as mentioned. The relationships between some characters were far too weak (Lu Bu and Diao Chan especially), and if you are a fan of Wu like I am, they get almost zero presence here (also Sun Jian is depicted as underhanded which is not how he is in the games). There were a lot of nice touches for sure, but for a ridiculously over the top game series like DW, it felt very slow and uneventful in general. I guess they are banking on a sequel.

[@ngocphatphan6150]

Yup, it is not for the true fan of Dynasty Warriors game, yet somehow people just keep saying that. I know group of DW fans who most of couldnt enjoy the movie for more than 30 mins lol.

Actually, does a Japanese live action film set in the Three Kingdoms era exist? I'm not aware of any, but that means little. I'm pretty ignorant of such things.

If you're doing movie reviews now, I was wondering what you think of the Dungeon and dragons movie

[@jamiepickles9726]

One thing did throw me off very early into the movie and that is that Guan Yu did a special move that usually Zhao Yun pulls off in the games,, This was the Yellow Turban fight where Guan Yu had his feet tided around a persons head whilst spinning around with his weapon... I agree too a lot of the fighting scenes where very floaty and it was like they were on strings yeah agreed but then again like you said at the start of your video it's more based for the fans of the Dynasty Warriors game series and makes sense that way as in the games especially the newer ones certain characters are flying all over the air whilst attacking... The fight scene with Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu against Lu Bu made sense too with the elementals of there weapons from the heavans, makes sense as it's almost like they have that "True Muso" effect like in the games

I hope that her big sister Da Qiao would appear in the next movie along with Xiao Qiao. Probably their husbands Zhou Yu and Sun Ce could be in the next sequel too. My brother used to play that game long time on PS2. I bet he would love to see Gan Ning in the 2nd one too because Gan Ning was his favorite DW character.

Released in Canada on July 1st, which was also Canada Day 😄 Watched the movie obviously on its release date, in original Cantonese (the movie is Hong Kong produced); I've been hyped for the past 2 years and after some delays, was elated to finally see it! Totally agree with you on every point! The storytelling was far from being the best But the movie catered to people who were fans, experts and enthusiasts of Dynasty Warriors, me included; the battle music made it instantly recognizable as a product of the DW franchise Movie took 2 years to produce and most costumes were loosely based on the 8th game's designs, especially Yuan Shao and Liu Bei's outfits & weapons, according to my observations Yes, the color coding helped recognize factions and characters from afar and during chaotic scenes The horse chase you mentioned was also one of my favorite scenes Rewatched the entire movie in Mandarin dub today; this dub was added just today and I expect maybe a Japanese dub coming soon (there's still lots of DW fans in Japan) Many viewers say the English dub is good too; I'll re-watch the movie in English tomorrow If people want more non-DW inspired Romance of the Three Kingdoms movies to watch, I suggest Red Cliff parts I & II and The Lost Bladesman (both China produced) As a DW games fan I loved watching this Dynasty Warriors live-action movie and I recommend it to all my DW-loving friends! 👍

This film's biggest sins to me? Were as follows: Ignores the Yellow Turbans almost totally. Corrupts Cao Cao in favor of using his scheming lieutenants. Completely ignores Wu except for two fucking mentions of them. Which is stupid to me because they are important to. Besides Guan Yu and Zhang Fei? They have zero Lieutenant officers. None of the lieutenants show for anyone else. I get focusing on the Lords to start but no even mentions of their subordinates or appearances? Really not smart. Voice acting is a mixed bag. Some sound great, some don't. Some actors really wanted to make this sell, some were clearly just phoning it in. Biggest pros? Great visuals despite not too much care of character in battle. The combat is the best part of the film. Costumes and weapon explanations. Everybody looks GREAT. They explain the equipment used and I love that. Characterizations. I hate Cao Cao's characterization but in retrospect it fits him to a point anyway as bad as I find it. Liu Bei finally has balls and his brothers are spot on. Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu are great. Everyone else that shows has almost no proper effort or characterization. Weakening this. Fight scenes. The best part hands down is the action, especially near the end. But I do admit as fantastic as it all was, they did not do every one that showed proper justice with it. Especially Zhang Jiao.
