Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:

  • David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
    • Excerpt: Zhang’s lavish exuberance is not likely to result in The Great Wall becoming a new classic, like Hero arguable has.
  • Matt Donato @ We Got This Covered
    • Excerpt: It’s 47 Ronin all over again – except the battles are just a wee bit more Starship Troopers (try NOT drawing that comparison).
  • Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
  • Simon Miraudo @ Student Edge
  • Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
    • Excerpt: I laughed at moments both intentional and unintentional, enjoyed watching idiots die and heroes sacrifice themselves for the greater good. Does it add up to anything? No. Substance is nowhere to be seen.
  • Kristy Puchko @ CBR.com
    • Excerpt: Regrettably, this groundbreaking co-production comes to less than the sum of its parts.
  • James Roberts @ Glide Magazine
    • Excerpt: The Great Wall reads like a half-decent idea that got banged out as a draft and approved as is. Themes are touched, but never expounded upon, and the dialogue is devoid of subtext or meaning.
