Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Despite this series having Bruce Lee's daughter, Shannon Lee, at the helm as executive producer it suffers from the same embellished melodrama and historical inaccuracies that other Bruce Lee bio-pics have been plagued with.This is understandable since Chinese productions are notorious with playing loose with the actual facts. The Donnie Yen "Ip Man" series of movies is a prime example of artistic license.Chinese films have always been jingoistic and xenophobic, often villainizing other cultures as being evil invaders, as a means of elevating the Chinese hero in the movie who inevitably and selflessly fights the "foreign devils" for the right of the oppressed Chinese - - which is a bit ironic considering in the last 100 years, the Chinese are possibly the most pervasive cultures to globally migrate to other countries using the affluence of commerce and business as the means rather than military force. Just sayin'.Hollywood is not any better with their highly embellished, Dragon: A Bruce Lee Story. A more apt title would have been A Bruce Lee Fable!It's understandable because real life is much more boring than real life. From everything I have read on Bruce Lee, his life was not as fantastic as that portrayed in this and other films. He did not get into even half the fights and confrontations portrayed in this movie, he faced more institutionalized racism (lack of opportunities) than outward racism, he injured himself lifting weights (as another poster has mentioned), had a bad temper, but otherwise was a hard working, ambitious guy...not exactly enough for a Hollywood or Asiawood movie I suppose.The danger to these over dramatized events of his life is that subsequent generations learning about Bruce Lee take them as fact and it really distorts the real life of Bruce Lee and his accomplishments.I hate to say this but the most accurate portrayal of Bruce Lee might still be the 1976 exploitation movie, Bruce Lee The Man The Myth...and that's not saying much.

This is not "The" Bruce Lee, the whole story is seriously a fake if the title are referring to the late Bruce Lee. Why is this movie borrowing Bruce Lee big name and look at IMDb review on this movie. This movie story is a joke. This is a new character called Bruce Lee. Really disappointed as a Bruce Lee fan. I really can't describe how disappointed i am.And this movie is produced by her own daughter. Why she don't stick with the true story. Honor history of the true legend.And seriously, why is he roar like tiger? He is born in dragon. DRAGON. OMG. This movie makes me sad.

Freeview TV has just started to show Mon-Fridays. another episode of this drama series. TV here has little Asian or Chinese content. .. produced by China TV etc on a tight budget, with Bruce's daughter assistance.. ............................................................ Best production about Bruce that I have seen. ... ....................... Now have watched 12 episodes, SURE there are errors etc, but its nice to watch .. its almost like being there. ............................ .. Danny Chan is really good, other supporting actors are also good ........Bruce was Cantonese,, he and his family would have spoken Cantonese. ... Also in Hong Kong, at that time,, most people would speak Cantonese. However as the film was prob aimed at the CHINA audience, its natural to use Mandarin Chinese. .................................................. The HK scenes look real, back shots etc however show HK as it is now.. ... Action scenes look great.. am looking forward to seeing the remaining episodes

from the start you can see its a amateur movie + the spiritual n the acting is really horrible, the kung fu is just wanna Be Hollywood , the technique is just another bring up your own technique to make it sound better but its just plain horrible (I don't know how this got out with bruce lee name on it but someone need to be shot)the music about bruce lee WTF , is wrong with you people!This movie really is a disgrace for all Bruce lee Fan... hope this movie burn into hell! nothing really make sense in this movie , if you need a movie to fall asleep this is it!if not don't waste your time watching this!
