New Jet Li Movie *****LOOKS BADASS*****

[Heifetz]

He makes great chinese movies. But its hard to make a good american movie with a story when he doesn't speak english very well.

Jackie Chan is more comedy than bad ass martial arts, like Jet Li. You wouldn't see Jet making Around the World in 80 Days, now would you?

Bruce Lee > Jet Li > Jackie Chan

jackie chan = silly, not comedy i find most of it pretty stupid at best. maybe I should act stupid too, so the audience will find it amusing?
jackie can't act worht a crap. most of his movies sucks, two thumbs down.

Martial arts movies aren't about acting. They're about action.

Thats about what I expected. The story couldn't possibly be any worse than the one in "Kiss of the Dragon" though. Looks like the fight scenes are going to blow that movie away.

If you don't go to a martial arts' movie for the martial arts, why do you go?

 

[xcript]

Looks rubbish.

 

[Looney]

Yep! And i'm definitely going to go see it as soon as i can.

Thats what I'm saying. If those critics went in there looking for a masterpiece of drama, they're setting themselves up for disappointment. Kiss of the Dragons story was god awful...but I loved that movie.

Jet Li and Jackie Chan are not to be compared. They both do Chinese martial arts, but they don't make the same type of movies. Li's movies have a lot more "flash" to them than Chan's, but that doesn't make it better, or worse, only different. His moves are showy, and make for a great movie, but they aren't that practical, especially since a lot of them are enhanced by special effects, which is something Chan doesn't do. Once again, this is not a judgement to say which is better, this is just pointing out that you can't compare them very well, except as a matter of personal preference. Bruce Lee could have taken them both at once.

[PCFetish]

just came back from the movie
god, this is the worst Jet Li movie ever
this movie is about 1h30m long, maybe 20min(max) of fighting and one hour of bad acting.
and it's usual jet li's fighting, nothing new or special
Save your money and run
I woudlnt' even rent this.

 

[RossMAN]

Although I was going to see this for free, I might wait it to hit rental.
