Dragon Blade's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
Given the context of a national cinema slipping fast toward high-budget, low-quality sensationalism, Lee and his team have scored a small victory within the constraints imposed on them by their star's power, as well as the censorship and public tastes of mainland China.
Variety
An unparalleled meeting of Eastern and Western talent, writer-director Daniel Lee's historical blockbuster is entertainment on a grand scale.
New York Post
Daniel Lee's elaborate Chinese historical action epic Dragon Blade certainly gets points for creative casting, as well as its gorgeous widescreen visuals.
The Guardian
There are nice moments, but this is pure bombast, and Chan's natural action flair is not given free rein.
Los Angeles Times
No se puede negar el talento visual y el esfuerzo físico que emana de la película. Pero a pesar de todas las lágrimas, la sangre derramada, los pechos golpeados y los himnos cantados, la película no crea un clima emocional suficientemente bueno debido a sus torpes diálogos, sus cuestionables acentos, los momentos "Kumbaya" y sus peinados extravagantes.
New York Times
Todos se ponen a luchar, haciendo muecas -aunque a veces sonriendo, llorando y cantando- haciendo que 'Dragon Blade' sea ese tipo de entretenimiento barroco que no se contenta meramente con reunir un puñado de influencias.
