Cheesy acting, amazing acrobatics
30 September 2004
I disagree with the people who claim that the acting in this movie's good - I honestly think it's very cheesy and mediocre most of the time. This and its poor attempts at being humorous ruin the serious themes of the story (such as the intrusion of Western culture) which could've been quite decent.

The only great things this movie has are the fight scenes - or rather, the acrobatics scenes. The fights aren't very brutal; mostly Jet Li et al just jump around a lot doing cool kicks and flips. Again, I would've preferred some more seriousness.

I think kids and teenagers would like this movie quite a lot. I wouldn't recommend this movie to a more mature audience, except martial arts fans.
