Waste of time

Too many fans seem to be blown away

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Fair to say , the story in total is appealing , well constructed and doesn't fail at any moment , like in many other movies . The need for revenge is justified and come reasonable to our minds . One exception of course , fighting 100 persons which was one of the many reasons that lead me to wish another possible remake ( Even Bruce Lee would have run away or found out a better approach to deal with ) . Frankly , I don't know how someone out there wants us to believe this , logic is a virtue .Even the end leaves us with a strange loyalty to the title ... Legendary he is .. and still alive and kicking somewhere in some cafe . Leaves us with two ends , one for those whom seeing the logical ending and one for those directors faithful to the title ...The actors , except jacky and Celina , are totally mediocre and beginners in every way ; We see here and there each aspect of the mediocre scenery of the cheap china movies . There were goes the most weak points , the perfect destroyers of a good movie , making a big part of it unbalanced with some highly performed scenes from Celina and Jackie . Both , they carried the movie to a respectable level somehow . The last scene with a beautiful music scores high and gives you a non regret of a wasted time .Overall , i'll give 7 stars for the performance of the two heroes despite the many other bad aspects in it and , A future better remake is a wishful thinking...

This is not an art-house movie nor the most amazing action movie you will ever see. But it is a good, solid, entertaining action movie. The relationship between Jacky Wu and Celina Jade was nice, the café scene was both funny and with great action, the scenes at the police station were a mixture of tension and comedy, and the climax fight scene was ridiculous but who cares?I'd never seen Jacky Wu before and I found his silent stoic character rather enjoyable. This appears to be Celina Jade's first film and she was excellent, as well as rather attractive. Secondary characters played there roles acceptably (although the blonde policeman seemed to be in the wrong film).The point is that I was thoroughly entertained for the duration, and even my wife enjoyed it. Overall I think that's pretty good.

This movie was a disappointment from the start. The direction was very poor and the simple story line was uninteresting. All the unnecessary slow motion scenes with bad cinematography just didn't work. The relation ship between the two lead character was the only thing of interest but even that was superficial. Plenty of better movies to spend your time than this one. It's hard to be positive about any thing in the movie, but there were glimpses of good action scenes but most of them were wasted by poor decision making by the director. I was hoping for something much better considering the exposure and the involvement of Jacky Wu. But what i got from this film was utter disappointment.

Frankly I do not understand why this movie deserves such a pathetic IMDb score, given its decent plot and great story-telling. The movie reminded me of Infernal Affairs, which is not a bad example to look up to. It brought me back to the Islands District of Hong Kong, where life is much simpler. The dingy alleys, plainly clothed local police officers and a lone traveler from culturally different mainland China drew a picture in sharp contrast with penthouse office, high heeled diva and black suits donned gangs. The movie gave a successful preach that it's not appearance or wealth but compassion and dedication to higher ideals that makes the world a better place and life a fulfilling process. It thoroughly warmed my heart and plenty of unanticipated turns kept me absorbed throughout. I found it much more interesting than Ip Man, an over-hyped movie full of political correctness. I beg to differ with the other comment doubting Jacky Wu's performance and caliber as a co-director. I would definitely recommend it to my friends, who may even not turn out an Kung Fu movie fan.
