I like it a lot. it's not high quality in a sense of a well-made film, but it's an excellent kung fu movie with a good story and great characters. the fight scenes were awesome, although they were a bit scarce. even the non fight scenes where they would practice or show off their moves were fascinating. their motions and movements are art. it was beautiful at time.
i thought the story was going to go in the typical direction for these kinds of movies but it didn't. i also liked that it was in english, not dubbed, english was spoken for most of the movie. i was emotionally invested in the characters and was strongly rooting for them. and a lot of their conversations were intriguing and made me think about kung fu in a way i hadn't before. a lot of movies had similar ideas but didn't make me ponder them the way this movie did.

early in the movie it was looking like it would go the traditional route, this is the good guy, this is the bad guy, they fight at the end. but halfway thru the movie i was liking the "bad guy" more than the "good guy." i could see both sides of their arguments. and i wanted both to succeed. their fight was great. it was almost like a twist that Wong Jack Man was only fighting bruce to help him evolve. i also loved the team up and final fight. it was extremely bad-ass. the very different characters played off of each other ridiculously well
