If you like martial arts and Jackie Chan, you will like this movie. There was alot of well done martial arts moves and the story was good. IF you don't like either, it is still good but won't be appreciated as much. Glad Jet Li and jackie Chan finally did a movie together, showcasing their different talents.

This movie looked promising until it started. The main character is kind of like Ralph Machio in KK. He gets bullied around, but instead of meeting Mr. Miyagi, he is sent back in time where he meets Jackie Chan's character. Now I loved Rumble in the Bronx, and I like Kung Fu movies in general, but usually the bad acting just adds to the fun. Here, it seems like they are trying to be serious, unfortunately the lines are lame and the acting subpar. The plot is totally predictable, but at least there are a few decent fights scenes in the second half of the movie. Lower your expectations immensely, and you might enjoy this movie.

This movie is the bomb. It was all I expected and more. A little slow starting; however, the action that I expected was there. I think anyone that moves martial arts would love this movie. I loved the ending. At first I thought it ended bad but I saw something else.
