    Just watched this movie and I agree with Gene. Started out like Fong Sai Yuk with what seems like Jet just reliving the character. Once it hits the village it gets good story wise. Lots of philosophy to go along with the action.

    Won't give too much away but as been said, if you know anything about huo, you know how this story is going to go. Still nice to see it played out. I think Jet and crew did a great job.

    I thought the final fight scene was good. It was a good mix of things and did not lose anything by the earlier scenes. At least he didn't recycle choreography like Donnie did in Sha Po Lang (which was another good movie)

    Simon, not to derail this thread too much but The final fight scene in SPL was basically the same fight scene that Donnie had earlier in the movie. The sequence is slightly different and now you have Sammo doing stuff but it had this dejavu feeling

    Fearless

    Im not the biggest jet li fan, but this movie is great. good action, nice story, but a little sad.

    if you were a fan of Fist of Legend, then you will certainly enjoy this flick.

    check it out.

    ahh fearless...

    hopefully it comes here in the next year.


    Hey gene, I have seen half of tai chi master(2004) and I thought wu started in like 96, this guy looks like he's 17 or 18 in this movie!!!!!!, or t.v. show. It is not as good as I expected, but hopefully the end will leave me smiling. Jacky hasn't shown off his stuff yet completely, but billy chow is scary even for a cheap looking t.v show. (but you don't beat the scenery in this movie).

    NO FREAKING WAY THIS GUY IS OVER 30 YEARS OLD(OR 20 FOR THAT MATTER).

    tai chi master

    hey, saw the second half of this, and it was AWESOME. It was AWESOME. It was AWESOME. It...

    Final fight not as good as some of the others but billy chow never dissapoints. I wonder if there is anyway we can get woo ping to work on a soap opera over here. And I have to say I liked the story, but maybe because there was like 1 minute of talking and then a fight, they had to chop up at least 95% fo this story.

    hey gene, again, no way jacky wu is over 30.

    Hey asian people, do you age
