I'm going to be blunt: This is not a good movie. There are two major flaws holding it down. First, the direction is horrible. The regular dialogue scenes are shot well enough, but when it comes time for the fight scenes the camera becomes jittery, it's in way to close to the action and the angles are completely off. This is a shame because Jet Li and Xin Xin Xiong are amazing martial artists and their talents are completely wasted here. Which brings me to the other problem. The villains are...bank robbers? Jet Li fights the English and corrupt officials in the first two films and now he's got to fight bank robbers? Besides that, (minor spoiler) the main villain doesn't even put up a fight. Wong basically kicks his @$$ all over town. There is no dramatic intensity whatsoever. (end spoiler)
On a side note, the Tai Seng DVD release has terrible subtitles. They're out of synch with the dialogue and the only get worse as the movie goes on. At the end of the film they show up a good 6-7 seconds after the person has spoken making things a bit confusing.
My Film Rating: 3/10
