Awesome Movie

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This martial arts film is especially well-known for the legendary last fight scene between Jet Li and Donnie Yen, two of the all-time greatest martial artists, at an alley. The fight is both intense and speedy, and Li and Yen uses whatever weapons they can find, including ropes and wooden splinters, to fight each other.

Once again I always appreciate highly martial arts movie of Chinese origin. They are so unique and so eye-catching, you wouldn't even drop your eyes for a moment to miss a glimpse of every exhilarating action scenes. Once again Jet Li proves his somewhat innate talent in portraying a real Kung Fu master, whose almost invincible at every angle you see. This sequel to the first Once upon a time in China movie attracts once again all action movie addicts especially of Chinese martial arts genre. Undeniably Chinese movies concerning martial arts action offer the best of them all, unlike nowadays some movies gets tired in furnishing the best product of their movie career. Foremost, even though the story is a bit eccentrically confusing the substance reminds us to look for something else noteworthy. Glad I have it in cheap original copy, watch it I promise you'll never be disappointed.And oh, this is the first movie where I saw Donnie Yen played his character.

There are some snobs who commiserate a few Asian directors (such as Yimou Zhang and Ang Lee) for making lively fun movies (like Ying Xiong ;Wo Hu Cang long)and not boring , tedious,insipid,"serious",monotonous ones.These critics suppose,I don't know why,that the Asian directors are forced by "the system" to make such "commercial" movies,instead of doing the banal and academic ones.(The same critics,having no sense of real fun,were those who,in another age,reprimanded Balzac, Dumas, Hugo, Scott, Dickens, Stevenson,AC Doyle,HG Wells,for writing lively novels and for not being Flaubert,Zola,etc.).Among the funniest scenes in Wong Fei Hung Ji Yi: Naam Yi Dong Ji Keung are:(1)the neuroanatomy/medicine/acupuncture lesson,interrupted by a ferocious attack;(2)the dog meat dinner;(3)the great beginning,with the train travel;(4)the exposure of the nationalist sect's leader.I liked the comments of Jellygoose;Fox in Socks from Staffordshire;Cheahcw from Arlington;Callanvass from Victoria b.c Canada;MikeA from Isle of Man;squelcho;miguelsanchez69 from NYC.

Wow. I was expecting a good martial flick but what I got was a great film. This is quite simply one of the most entertaining, moving and cinematically brilliant films I've seen in quite awhile. It reminds me slightly of an Asian version of Gangs of NY (I know, I know, this came first) since it's set amidst a sweeping historical backdrop at a point when nations we now know were being built, and because of its strongly patriotic undertones. The choreography by Yuen Ping is awe-inspiring especially since unlike many of his recent films, this film involves actual martial artists. Tsui Harks direction, from the opening shot is spot on, and the acting is great. Unlike a lot of martial arts films (even those I enjoy) this film's plot is superb. The music is terrific as well and really sets the tone. A minor note, the dubbing isn't terrific (though the movie is still immensely watchable) so try and get the subbed version if you can. This movie completely transcends the genre. Highest possible recommendation.
