Videogame movies have tried ignoring their source material, and they ve tried legitimising their source material via being as dour as possible, but it s rare that they ve just embraced the inherent absurdity of videogames. Enter: the Dynasty Warriors movie, which looks joyfully like the Dynasty Warriors games.
If you re not familiar with Dynasty Warriors, it s a series of games by Koei Tecmo which are set during the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history. Rather than dry historical retellings though, they re fantastic romps in which you choose a character and then beat up hundreds or thousands of men on vast battlefields.
