Enter the Dragon

Advantages: Fights!!
Disadvantages: Bad acting, bad plot

...When you watch Enter the Dragon these days, it becomes pretty obvious, almost immediately, where films like Mortal Kombat and Conan the Destroyer got their inspiration from. This, the first kung film to be produced by a major Hollywood studio, and the last completed Bruce Lee film before his death "by misadventure", is credited with popularizing the martial art in America and establishing Lee as a cultural icon. And the reason that the film is considered ...
...action. The fight choreography in Enter the Dragon is so good that we needn't bother dwelling on what's bad here. So ignore the paper-thin, James Bond-type plot, and the piss-poor attempts at emotional expressiveness, and enjoy Enter the Dragon for what it is: Jaw-breaking kicks, high- pitched squeals, and incredibly-ripped male bodies. Indeed, Lee's phenomenal fitness has to be witnessed to be believed. [Visit me at: http://www.andycarrington.co.uk] ...

Review of Enter The Dragon (DVD)

Enter The Dragon, one of the best kung fu movie

Advantages: Every scene is exciting
Disadvantages: none, its an amazing movie

Enter the dragon is certainly one of the best movies that has been ever made based on kung fu and other martial arts.This movie deals with bruce lee leaving his temple of martial arts to go and enter a tournament. During this tournament bruce finds out that there is something fishy going on. He finds an underground base where prisoners are ebing held, later he also comes to know that one of his friends who was in the tournament has been killed by ...
...he ends up beating everyone who came in his way. At the end of the movie bruce defends himself against the vicious claws of the main villain and that too inside a mirror maze. This movie has so much drama, action, romance, and evrything essential for a movie and in proper ratios. This movie is certainly one of the best movies that I've ever seen in my entire life starring my idol................Bruce Lee. ...

Ninja films made as they should be

Advantages: A mature serious approach to the genre
Disadvantages: compared to some martial arts films now, looksa little dated

...serious element of realism. Whilst Enter the Ninja concentrates largely on Franco Nero's character, Sho Kosugi has a great part in the film as a disillusioned bad guy. The film is a more serious look into the world of ninjas and actually attempts to put a decent plot into the movie Who's in it? ☺☺☺☺☺☺ Franco Nero~ Cole Susan George~ Mary Ann Flanders Sho Kosugi~ Hasegawa Alex Courtney~ Frank Landers Christopher ...

Enter The Dragon (review)

Advantages: great storyline and actors, the fighting scenes are EXELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Disadvantages: It was a bit slow to start.

...in my all time favourite Enter The Dragon. I love this film and the reason being is because the storyline is great and the fighting scenes are excellent, well . . . I suppose you would expect that from the man proven to be the worlds fittest man, highly trained in martial arts. If you are into martial arts then this is definitely the film for you I personally recommend the special edition specifically because it has hidden scenes in it that you ...
...first five or ten minutes as it's a bit slow. BRUCE LEE, Martial artist, Died age 32, approximately 2 weeks before the film Enter The Dragon was released, Unknown Reasons. Some People talk about the way he died, I personally like to talk about the way he lived. ...

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. ...
