I caught the latest and last kung fu movie from Jet Li late last night...For those of you who don't know, the movie is entitled "Fearless". I've got to say that was a typical Jet Li movie, what i didn't know or didn't realised was that the movie was a remake of a previously made Jet Li movie, although i can't really remember the name of that movie (I think its called "Fist of Legend"). Its really about the same person and both stories are based on a true story about 1 guy beating the crap out of them foreigners.
What i really really liked about the show was how he used many forms of martial arts to display his prowess...not like we don't already know la right, but regardless i think it was interesting to see almost everything if not everything being displayed. Of course it wasn't displayed all at the same time la, Mainly he used more fists techniques (you know like all his movies kinda style la)...other then that they were some really nice utilizations of weapons and some funky swordsplay. And of course what would a Jet Li movie be without the infamous Tai Chi.
Because this is suppose to be his LAST kung fu movie (yeah well...thats what they all say la right, we'll see) i really liked the way it ended, of course i'm not gonna spoil the story for all those that haven't been able to watch it yet la. But the one thing that i really have to complain is...The translation really sucks, being a 'Banana man' i have to read subtitles...but seriously i think i was better of listening to what they were saying. The really slack part about the translation is they don't translate the chinese characters during the intro and the end of the movie...thats why i had to ask some chinese speaking/reading friend to tell me what the hell those words at the end of the movie meant...And thats also how i finally found out that it is based on a true story. All in all if you're a real martials arts freak like me then i'd recommend the movie, its rather entertaining that way other then that you'd probably be better off avoiding paying for it...especially if you can't read chinese.
