Jet Li's Fearless (Unrated Director's Cut) 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

What can one accomplish in 42 years of life? Fearless gives an answer to that question. The film is based on the life of Huo Yuanjia, a national sports hero of old China.

From a young age, Huo watched as his father trained students. His dream was to become like his father, a master fighter. Eventually, he became an excellent stage fighter.

Jet Li gives a moving performance as Huo Yuanjia. On top of his game he makes one tragic decision which leads to fatal consequences for his family. He delivers on a man who loses everything that he loves and falls into the depths of despair.

Wandering aimlessly, Huo finds himself rescued and nursed back to health. A blind girl teaches him the true meaning of life. The scene in the rice paddies is one of the most inspirational parts of this film. From the pit of despair he rises like the phoenix to become the man which Chinese history remembers.

Destiny and fate take over as the course of events lead to the ultimate showdown with four fighters-three Westerners and Japan's national champion. The pride of China is at stake. The ending is truly unexpected but believable.

The marital arts sequences are well choreographed. They are very realistic in comparison to other recent films-no tree dancing in this film.

This film delivers a beautiful tapestry. The action sequences, the scenery and the music make this Chinese composition a graceful work of artistry.

Other reviewers have commented on the DVD quality. Overall, a great story!

The One 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

There is not one universe, but there are many, which is a multiverse. Supposing you are just one person, there are many other versions of you in the other universes, there are ways to travel, but only a police agency,MVA, can travel only for police procedures. Gabriel Yulaw (Jet Li)is a former MVA agent, who killed another version of himself in self-defense. It made the other versions of him stronger. When Yulaw found out about this, he became power-hungry killing the 122 other versions for two years. After killing Lawless (also played by Jet)and getting captured by his former partner Roedecker (Delroy Lindo) and a new MVA agent Funsch (Jason Statham) Yulaw managed to escape the prison and is trying to kill his last target, Gabe Law (also played by Jet) who is a police officer. He is also at Yulaw's strength. Roedecker and Funsch now have to arrest Yulaw before he can kill Gabe. There is a possibility that the universe could die or make Yulaw invinible. After encountering Yulaw for the first time, Gabe thought that it was his split personality, but it wasn't. Will Gabe be able to confront Yulaw before or after Yulaw ruins his life. The One is a martial-arts flick with strong sci-fi concepts. But the bottom line remains high-kicking action, and Jet Li delivers. Li also shows his acting ability in this film. He displays that he can do more than one personality. The One is one movie whose far-out concept works.

Editorial Review:

In a stunning dual role, international action star Jet Li portrays Gabriel Yulaw, a police officer confronted with a sinister form of himself escaped from an advanced, parallel universe and intent on killing Gabriel. His alter ego's hunt culminates in a fateful battle between good and evil that changes Gabriel's perception of reality and forces him to examine the evil hidden within himself. The One features riveting martial arts and innovative special effects.

Stupid audio decision & bad english dub. 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I should say first that I own the DVD and not the Blu-ray. I was extremely disappointed to not see a high-res chinese audio track on the Blu-ray. I have a fairly high end audio system and when I first got it I would show it off with the Hero DVD. That disc had a chinese track in standard DTS and it sounded incredible, way better than the Dolby Digital track on the same disc. So I was really hoping for even better sound with the Blu-ray.

This very stupid mistake would almost be forgivable if not for two things. 1: The chinese DTS track from the DVD is not on the Blu-ray either. STUPID! 2: The english dub does not feature Jet Li's voice and the emperor's voice is that of an actor I can easily reconize which makes it very distracting. They've also put more emphasis on matching lip movement rather than the emotion in the dialog.

As I said have not bought this Blu-ray yet; although, I may cave in because while the DVD sounds great it does not look great on my HDtv. The worst part about all of this is that Buena Vista does not re-release live-action movies very often. So there's not much hope that they'll fix this stupid mistake for quite some time.

Editorial Review:

Now, to achieve the justice he seeks, he must take on the empire's most ruthless assassins and reach the enemy he has sworn to defeat. Acclaimed by critics and honored with numerous awards, HERO was an Oscar(R) (Best Foreign Language Film, 2002) and Golden Globe nominee

Lots of action and it makes you laugh as well. I would recommend seeing this one. It is very entertaining and lots of fun to watch.

Overall, a great martial art movie! 5 out of 5 stars.

A lot of low rating reviews are too picky. They pick out a single thing in the movie and say the whole movie is bad. I was surprised by a well rounded fantasy story mixed in with Chinese folk-tale. You simply can not compare it to the Chinese movies. Those tend to be darker with complex relationship and usually the fighting and killing are ruthless with body parts getting ripped apart. Maybe that is why reviewers are saying this is more family friendly. Overall, the story was well thought out. The kung fu fighting scenes were intense and top quality. All actors did very well in portraying their characters. I never watched it because I heard bad reviews from critics when the movie came out. Finally saw it. And I was thoroughly entertained. In terms of showing it to kids, there are still some spots of violence that are not for kids. I probably would limit this movie for kids at least 14 years old. One more thing. The bonus features are fantastic. I have the single disc version and it has quite a long list of bonus features. Make sure you watch all the bonus features!

Editorial Review:

Individually, they've starred in the most adrenaline-pumping martial-arts adventures ever. Together for the first time, Jet Li and Jackie Chan join forces to create the greates epic of them all- THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM. As ancient Chinese warriors, they must train and mentor a 21st century kung-fu fanatic who's been summoned to fight a centuries-old battle and free the imprisoned Monkey King. If you're a fighting fan, the wait is over. The team is ready. The Kingdom has arrived.

War is one heck of an action movie from start to finnish. Jason and Lee back again since The One, and they are both top notch actors. I have predicted for a long time Jason would make one of the best James Bonds if that could ever happen for him.

I'm a huge fan of action movies. I have yet to see a movie with Jet Li or Jason Statham that I didn't like. This was a "keep you on the seat of your pants" movie that kept me entertained until it was over. I can't believe how much of a difference Blu-ray can make!

War 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

"War" is a serious, sophisticated, powerful action-thriller with a decent plot and good performances, especially by Jet Li. There is great action and fighting in this movie, there is one fight scene where it becomes so furious, even in the beginning, that it's impossible to follow what is happening to whom whereby the story gets jumbled and collapses partially - becoming fighting for fighting sake whereas a great director would have been able to save the plot outline even in this complicated and physically well-executed stretch of the movie. Jason Statham's seems to have martial arts skills above his job classification which make it sometimes a bit incredible, but still enjoyable. By the time the twist comes along, it's actually quite a nice one, but not executed with the greatest of credibility. This is overall a good, compelling, and rather complicatedly sublime movie. This movie is rich with action.

This movie was a huge disapointment! The story could have been really good but unfortunately it was wasted! The acting was terrible and so was the dialog.

Not even fun in a campy way. 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

It really seems like the people responsible for this movie didn't bother to see the first two movies first. Honestly, the way past events are referenced in the movie is exactly like the writer skimmed the back of the dvd case to just get the gist of the previous stories and used their imagination to fill in the blanks. Brendan Frasier seems obviously unimpressed with everything throughout the movie. It's always a bummer in a movie series when the usual actor for a reoccurring character has to replaced. Rachel Weisz doesn't return as Evie this time, and the replacement brings none of the humor, intelligence or vulnerability to the role. John Hannah does return but bad writing and the lack of Rachel Weisz to play off of make him less likable this time. The chemistry between Rick and Evie is broken in the same way. The estrangement between Alex and his parents, as well as portrayal of Rick and Evie as "old hands at this sort of thing" gives it kind of a feeling of ripping off Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Not the right version* 1 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Be very careful about who you purchase this from. I love this movie and I received the English dubbed version of the movie! The exact opposite of what I was looking for. It's terrible and I couldn't watch for more than 5 minutes because all the good lines in the movie are replaced with short boring phrases. Again, be careful about getting a so-called bargain on this version of the movie.

One of all time great Kung Fu films 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

As a fan of the genre, I have seen most of the great Kung Fu films dating back to 1970s. This movie, until Jet Li's Hero came out, was my favorite Kung Fu film of all time.

As with most good Kung Fu films, this movie focuses not on the action. Instead, the movie focuses on human relationships between two lifelong friends who grow up together. One chooses power, wealth, and pleasure. The other chooses to maintain his chosen path as a monk. Their paths inevitably collide, leading to climatic Kung Fu fights between two of the best Shaolin pupils.

Although Jet Li's action sequences were great, it was his acting that made his performance stand out. Jet Li plays the role of a betrayed friend brilliantly. Jet Li looked genuinely sad when his friend joins the Army by making fool of himself to impress the Army leader. When his character becomes enlightened with the principles and forces of Tai Chi, Jet Li's facial expressions and movements also change.

When this movie was released in 1993, the action sequences were extraordinary. Now, they seem rather ordinary by today's standards. But there is plenty to enjoy. The Shaolin monk fight sequences in the temple still ranks as one of the best Kung Fu fight sequences of all time. The dual between Jet Li and his nemesis friend is also very cool. Their fight scene is made more interesting by the fact the one is slightly better than the other and the better one uses a dynamic power style that the other can't counter. Both pleads to the other to join forces with them, leading to even more drama than otherwise seen in a Kung Fu action.

Please do yourself a favor and watch ONLY the Chinese dubbed version with English subtitles. The English dubbed version of this version called "Twin Dragons" massacred the movie by using of terrible English dubbing and by removing most of the wonderful Chinese background music. If you want to watch a Kung Fu film, you are far better off watching it in its original form with English subtitles.

I highly recommend this film to anyone who wants to watch a good Kung Fu film that has compelling characters and story.

Editorial Review:

Superstar Jet Li shows off his legendary speed, power, and agility at the peak of his martial arts prowess in this sweeping action epic. In an age of swordsmen and rebellion, two best friends and fellow martial arts students are expelled from the storied temple of Shaolin, only to meet again on the battlefield one a power-hungry general, the other a freedom-fighting rebel, both mortal enemies. Featuring Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon s Michelle Yeoh and directed by the celebrated Yuen Woo-Ping (action choreographer of The Matrix films), Tai Chi Master is a quintessential martial arts classic.

Finally...A Compilation Set With All The Features 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Generally, these double-, triple-, or otherwise multi-film deals are cheap, bottom-of-the-barrel compilations that only feed the needs of penny-pinchers and starving airmen. However, Warner Bros' "Romeo Must Die"/"Cradle 2 the Grave" set is a formidable double-team that breaks the subpar standard of these collections and delivers the complete package where both of these films are concerned.

Regardless of the contents of the films themselves (you'd have to have been living under a rock not catch Andrej Bartkowiak's 2000 genre-bending Jet Li/Aaliyah vehicle and its indirect sequel co-starring DMX), both include all of the special features found on the individual releases: "Romeo" features 13 making-of featurettes, three music videos, trailers, and DVD-ROM features; "Cradle" includes five featurettes, a DMX music video, the theatrical trailer, and DVD-ROM features. Both films feature English and French language tracks and corresponding subtitles ("Cradle" also has Spanish ones) and, yes, both are featured in 2.4:1 widescreen.

I'm a bit disappointed that the middle act of Bartkowiak's quasi-trilogy (Exit Wounds, starring Steven Seagal) wasn't included on here, but I suppose Warner Bros. figured that Jet Li sells pretty darn well on his own. It's cool to have these two films together on one disc, seeing as their similarities in style make for an excellent comparison opportunity and good companions for a movie night. If it will save you money, there's no reason not to consider this double-feature over buying the two films separate: aside from filling up excess space on your movie shelf, you won't be missing out on anything.

Editorial Review:

A kickin'-it, livin'-it action mix! Martial arts moves and mayhem fuse with hip-hop sounds and style in two hard-charging adventures directed by Andrej Bartkowiak (Exit Wounds) and produced by Joel Silver (The Matrix). Dynamic one-man fighting force Jet Li makes his English-language starring debut in Romeo Must Die [Side A], taking on both sides of a violent Oakland turf war (with rapper DMX on one of those warring sides). Streets are mean, but Jet Li and DMX are meaner in Cradle 2 the Grave [Side B] as they join forces in a volatile conflict ignited by kidnapping, stolen black diamonds and a sadistic crimelord. Gonna be a wall 2 wall, start 2 finish, man 2 man rush of action that's 2 off the meter 2 resist. No coolin' this Jet!
