This is an exciting, beautiful, exceptional martial arts movie that cements Jet Li's superlative contribution to kung-fu cinema. It is absolutely filled with stirring martial arts and gloriously made, with eye-filling cinematography. Although the story is simple, it is heart-felt and effective. It's hard to understand how anyone who could call this boring, unless they are so jaded and cynical.This film is a great accompaniment to Jet's Shaolin Temple series,Once Upon a Time in China films, Fist of Legend, and Hero, and an absolute must-see for anyone who enjoyed these types of films.

I've always been a fan of Jet Li since his early days, and frankly his movies and performances in most of them have been terrible, in the last few years, mainly due to his attempts to be a profitable, and a more mainstream actor in the US. As a result, we were treated to "nice" movies like The One and Cradle to the Grave. This movie though makes up for them. This was truly a gem, not only were the action sequences spectacular, and I iterate spectacular, but the story line and acting as well as screen play was very tastefully done. Gone were the traditional comedic side plot, and welcomed was a sense of respect , not only for the Chinese. But also for some of the foreign countries that are often portrayed poorly in the movies. In the end, I can't help but feel like I've not only seen a great movie but felt the humanity and pride that the movie released.8/10

Thanks for the review, Padi. Love Jet Li flicks and will definitely go watch this one.

BTW, what exactly is the name of the film? Wasn't very clear in your post! Is it called "Fearless Movie" or what?
