Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

A truly great action film that provides us with a worthy legacy from the master, Bruce Lee. It also kindles the inevitable 'what if' nostalgia, wondering where his career might have gone if blessed with Jackie Chan longevity. Tho' I do worry about Jackie's well-being, still doing so many stunts himself, even today. Bruce Lee always seemed to be the physical ideal - strong but quick and light; a contrast to the muscle-bound Schwarzeneggers - so it is still hard to accept that his body betrayed him in the end, if we are to believe the official story. But celebrity does have its temptations and pitfalls and it was a period when drug taking was considered normal in certain spheres. Moreover cocaine, especially, feeds the notion of of immortality, of being untouchable and capable of anything (while simultaneously wreaking its internal damage). Who knows what really happened, but I shall always treasure my copy of this film.

In my opinion this movie is worth watching. It is very interesting to watch old movies. They are filmed and produced differently than the movies that are coming out today. Williams was killed instead of Roper because Williams was involved in things that he had no reason to worry about. It added to the movie to kill him off. John Wick 2 and Kill Bill pay homage to Enter the Dragon. A film that steal from Enter the Dragon. This movie stole from the James Bond movies. It stole the sound effects and the action. Overall, I think this movie was interesting but I don't think I would have watched it on my own.

Bruce Lee rose to international fame with this movie, but sadly he didn't see it happen. It is by now well known he wanted to be famous, Bruce Lee wanted to be the most famous Chinese man there ever was. He succeeded. Everyone who says Bruce Lee often thinks of the best fighter there ever lived, much the same way when we say Einstein is synonymous with genius. This movie set standards for the martial arts movies to come, also we saw a lot of copycats but they didn't match the brilliance of 'Enter the Dragon'. It has a plot that is basically the cliché of almost every action/martial arts movie: regain honor and get vengeance. The plot is very simple and the story isn't complex either. But we get introduced into each character and get to know their motivations. Lee wants revenge for the death of his sister - and regain honor to the Shaolin temple -, Roper wants to get away from his creditors and Williams wants to get away from the racism of America and fight. Three good guys with each their own agenda. Then there is the ultimate villain that has a small twist of a James Bond villain named Mr. Han - pun intended for his missing hand? - who is out to recruit new good fighters, so he can expand his evil empire.It sounds rather cheesy and in most cases it would be cheesy, but with a solid script and graceful direction by Robert Clouse the movie turned into a classic. Each character was developed, the simple plot played out well, the fight scenes were simple yet intense to watch, the story had depth and most importantly, the main characters were played well. Although the movie is an action movie it also managed to be character and plot driven. We even saw some decent drama. Which is a rare combination and which is something that most action movies have a hard time to match. Although the Roper and Williams characters were added because of racism and prejudice that the little Chinese man wasn't attractive, Bruce out shined both John Saxon and Jim Kelly. But it isn't to say John and Jim are bad actors, Bruce had just more charisma. But John is a brilliant actor and he carried his role with grace. Jim was pretty good too considering he was a virtually inexperienced actor. All three of them created a group dynamic that was both immersing and at times fun to watch. Another important men were Robert Clouse and Michael Allin, they were an important part of what was happening on screen. Clouse brought a lot of elegance in the fight scenes and make every actor act convincingly whilst, Allin made a good script for the movie. Allin's script was both well thought out and well written since the plot and story were an important part of the movie.Influential movie and a colorful martial arts movie with different philosophies and ideas presented. 9/10

it is not easy to say why it remains a great movie. not only a martial art movie but, simple, against the simplicity of story and not the most impressive performances, an admirable work. the explanations are many. important is the science of Bruce Lee to give a total show. using classic clichés and giving to the story more than the appearance of cloth for fights.all is seductive în this film . all remains part of a beautiful legend. and, maybe, this is the basic key of this success .
