Jet Li's Fearless (his last movie)

So considering this is his last martial arts movie ever, I was really disappointed.

I would have been much more happier if they would have screened "special edition" of Fist of Legend on the big screen. :p

If you could understand Mandarin the movie is a lot better as they butchered a lot of the dialogue with the translation.

I did like the fighting scenes a lot as they were realistic vs. the typical Matrix fighting sequence.

I still really need to see this.

It's a shame jet li is not making movies, he's one of my favorites. I love his style.

Although I think there are a lot of good up and comers, I think we're going to see a lot of good things from Tony Jaa in the near future.

he's 43, and from what i read he wants some less physically demanding roles.

I agree the fights were more realistic than most... the movie sounded great too... Just wasn't entirely down with the story and how certain things were left unanswered.

I saw it last night and I thought it was so good.

I can understand a lot of things might be lost in translation, but I found the story and the movie's message to be very moving. It's nice to see a martial arts movie that has such a good emotional story attached to it. Jet Li hardly ever does the role of an arrogant man in many of his martial arts movies, and I think he did it well.

and holy shit the actor that played Anno Tanaka was incredible..and hot.
