Kung fu movies have never hit the spot for me but im fond of Jackie Chan and Jet Li so I gave this a go and I enjoyed it, Simple yet same old predictable plot, Some good fight scenes, It always did my head in that with all the amazing well done kung fu action do they feel the need to use wire stunts it spoils it, Apart from the action there isn't too much to get excited over unless your under the age of 12.

A fun, but disappointing, kung-fu flick that features martial arts legends, Jet Li and Jackie Chan, together for the first and only time. This pairing is the only reason to watch this film. They are their typical selves, as they kick ass in good cheesy fashion. The problem is that the entire film is extremely corny and unoriginal. The acting is lackluster and the plot is stock. The action is fantastic, which is honestly why you would ever watch this film in the first place. The long awaited Jet Li versus Jackie Chan fight scene is great, but drags on for seemingly forever. All in all, the film is decent, but falls well below expectations for the Li-Chan pairing.

A cheesy and boring movie with no point at all to it. As the plot was stupid and felt like a chesy comedy, the action was lame and a copy of the genius movie Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. The makeup and production was okay I guiess, I can't neccessarly say it was bad. And by during the movie I fell asleep and woke up later and reversed it back to where I fell left off, then I almost fell asleep again, at 3:00 PM, thats how boring it was.
