Read More The draw of the movie was defiantly the promotion of the fight between Jet Li and Jackie Chan. While the fight was one of the greatest martial arts exhibitions seen in film in a long time it was not the only bright spot of this film. The movie had a quick flow to it, visually stunning scenery, and one of the brighter spots was Michael Angarano who played Jason Tripitikas in the film. At first I thought he was the token white person to create the draw for the box office to make the movie main stream hollywood. Woo-ping was the choreography director for the film and took novice Michael and turned him into a vision to watch on the screen. The movie is a must see for martial arts fans, you will not be dissapointed. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More My husband and I really love Jackie Chan and enjoy Jet Li movies, and it was exciting to see the two interact on the big screen. They are both excellent in this movie. Lots of action throughout and not a lot of gore, so this one is also good for the kids. This film also has a really great story-line. I would agree that this one is worth paying full price to see, and we will be buying this when it comes out on dvd. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Action packed from the beginning to the end. Jet Li and Jackie Chan were great together. Story line was great. I took my children to see it with me and my youngest (or my two older ones) never moved, didn't ask to go to the bathroom in the middle of the movie, and didn't ask for a refill on popcorn or pop. I am sure you parents out there can appreciate what I am saying. My children and I loved the movie and I think you will also. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

The storyline was very great. The young boy reminded me of Karate Kid. Hopefully, the two legends in martial arts movies will do something again. I'll definitely purchase when it comes out on DVD.

I won't go into full detail, but both Jackie Chan and Jet Li were great in this film. Both have dual roles, so keep your eyes open for that. The guy that did the fight scenes in Matrix and Charlie's Angels did this film too. In my opinion, it is worth paying full price to go and see. And it isn't too violent either.

But totally not like that. This is a funny fantasy movie featuring the martial arts of Jet Li and Jackie Chan. If you want to laugh yourself silly, go watch it!

Read More To be honest, this movie was crap, the only saving grace was that Jakie Chan and Jet Li are in it. The story was just plain dumb and the characters were even dumber, you knew what was going to happen after you saw the first half hour of the film. The only thing worth seeing in the movie is the marshal art of Jakie Chan and Jet Li. So over all, doing waste you money in the theater, wait for it on DVD, it would be a good rent.
