A MARTIAL ARTS EPIC AND A TRUE CLASSIC

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Zhang ******************************************* ********* Hero has to go down as one of the best films ever made, if just for the Cinematography alone. It is visually spectacular and the use of colour is amazing. I really love these eastern martial art epics but i can assure you even if YOU don't you will still love Hero. It stars Jet Li as a nameless warrior brought before the king to explain how he defeated the 3 most feared assasins in the ...
...Flying Daggers which was made after Hero, but Hero stands head and shoulders above them both. 10/10 Summary: An martial arts epic, that will have even not martail art fans begging for more!! THIS REVIEW IS ALSO POSTED ON DOOYOO BY ME UNDER THE SAME USERNAME ...

Classic films!

Advantages: Great films, good commentary, great price
Disadvantages: Nothing...as long as you like Karate Kid films :P

...fell in love with it. The storyline is so-so, but the performances and characters were just so awesome - who could forget Mr. Miyagi! It's great for younger boys who can relate to Daniel, and the films also teach good morals. The special features for the box set are limited to some audio commentary by the main characters, but fortunately it's some good stuff. If you're a fan, its great to be able to see how they are in real life, and none of them ...

kung fu fans collect this

Advantages: good price to collect now
Disadvantages: not funny

bulletproof monk is jam packed with chinese style kung fu, yet a bit dissapointing conversations from Chow Yun Fat Based on the very underground comic book, Chow is the immortal Tibetan monk that needs to protect the scroll. the first half of the movie was rather thrilling with good computer generated animation etc. but the second half is rather repeating itself and it is rather boring. I would buy and keep this for a rainy day and when there's ...
...A punk. A chick. In a kick-ass flick. this says it all... Seann William Scott is funny as usual...so if all things failed to amuse you. you would find yourself smilling when movie is over Kung pow enter the fist...... not a bad movie, however, i would't say it is an interesting one. ...

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Advantages: Great Fight Scenes
Disadvantages: None, Bruce Lee Rocks

Bruce Lee, The Man is a legend when it comes to Martial Arts films. This was the first film Bruce was to do with Golden Harvest Films and although the later films are much better it is still a well worth watching film. Now before I start of course the original is not going to be in English although the DVD will give you the option of putting on the Dubs. I think to really appreciate the film then you need to watch it as the Director intended. And ...
...all about the fighting and nobody does it better than Bruce Lee. So the film itself has a vague plot about drugs and cheap labour and even though it does drag sometimes, the action more than makes up for it. I remember the first time I saw this film as a boy, I was instantly hooked on martial arts and wanted to be just like Bruce. It's worth pointing out that there is a love story (as with all Bruce Lee films) in the background but enough of that ...

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Confuses Audience

Advantages: See what life might have been like during the Qing Dynasty
Disadvantages: it left the viewer confused with unanswered questions

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon takes place during the Qing Dynasty and tells the story of woman and men warriers and a sword known as the Green Destiny. I was utterly confused when watching this movie and had a hard time grasping my head around the plot. This story line was very difficult to follow and was needed to be searched on the Internet to discover the plot. In my opinion, the movie didn't answer any questions that were set up in the beginning ...
...plot and the characters of the story were to confusing that it was distracting from the effects included. Personally, I beleive that Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was a pointless movie in which there was no plot but just a series of random events that made transitions through the movie. ...
