"The Warrior's Way" is a horribly ill-conceived idea that tries to blend Eastern and Western cinema, but all it ends up doing is creating a disaster that's filled to the brim with enough clichés to make your head spin.April 04, 2011
It's stupid in a way you won't really hate, provided you're already in the mood for a terrible rehash of cliches from a hundred other martial arts movies and Westerns.December 06, 2010
To damn his agreeable campfest with faint praise, The Warrior's Way is easily the best circus-themed, martial-arts-heavy action-comedy oater of the year.February 10, 2011
There is a tragic craft to how one manages to make a film about 'the greatest swordsman who has ever lived' as boring as The Warrior's Way.November 09, 2013
Weak acting, unfocused directing and an overall very phoney feeling make for a film that is seriously misguided.February 24, 2011

The film's details suggest potential for a lively, bizarre, action-comedy cult classic. It just never comes together the way it needs to.August 25, 2011
As a bit of cheesy Asian cinema, it works, but it didn't quite translate into a western without looking a bit like a Jonah Hex sequel.December 03, 2010
Set in a fantastical ghost town with a resident circus troupe and filmed on studio sets, it looks like a Sergio Leone epic as staged by Fellini, or by Lars von Trier.December 07, 2010
The ingredients here congeal into a gooey mess that is not without amusing moments.December 09, 2010
While the movie seems designed to be a breakout for Jang, it's Lee whose work actually makes an impression. You guess he'll be back - hopefully, playing it straight next time.December 07, 2010
The Warrior's Way never achieves awesomeness, mostly because it never fully embraces its elementary-school playground aesthetic.
