Summary: Go Check it Out
Review: --I've only rented this movie. But If I bought it, it would be because of the beginning character developement and the comedy. And I'm only addressing the non-martial arts aspects. Wait till you see the action. --Jet Li and his best friend grow up together training with the monks. They later get kicked out and proceed into the rest of the world, and later meet again for the final fight. But this time Jet Li knows the tao and easily defeats him. --The martial arts fight sequences are top-noche and I think you'll find yourself laughing and amazed at the same time --It lost a star because they go a little overboard with wires, but go rent it

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: JET LI AND MICHELLE YEOH!
Review: Now I'm giving this movie 5 stars because I love Jet, Michelle and Woo ping. Now if you don't like string work you probably won't enjoy this. If you want more realistic but fast fighting, then for Jet I would definitley recommend Fist of Legend, and for Michelle Yeoh check out Wing Chun. Both of the films were also coordinated by Woo Ping.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jetli's ""Fast Action""
Review: Jetli Collection come with "the Enforcer, Fist of Legend, Defender, and Twin Warrior"", i had seen all the jetli movies, they are so good, more action, more comedy, and more thriller. I love twin warrior and Fist of Legend the most, the movies is self new style martial art moves by jetli himself, all disc are perfect picture, with Dob. Digital, Sound, and wide Screen Format, and come alone with English Sub, Dub, Spanish on 2 another disc., "" Jetli's Always Perfect on ACTION "" I sure u'll love it all.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: BOING! BOING! BOING!
Review: I am really suprised that people actually like this movie. Personally I have come to expect MUCH more out of Yuen Woo-Ping. Most all of the action was done with wires, so there was virtually NO hardcore Martial Arts action (aka. Fists of Legend). Many people think that this is entertaining, but personally I cannot see the enjoyment in it, in NO way does it display the talent of Jet Li, and Michelle.

In Conclusion... if you are looking for Harcore Martial Arts fighting, then look past this movie and go buy Fists of Legend, Drunken Master, or even Who am I (last half). But if you don't mind watching Jet Li bouncing around on his head like a human pogo stick (literally), then you might want to check out this poor excuse for Martial Arts cinema.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good choreography, shoddy shots, awful dubbing.
Review: And that, aside from Fist of Legend, pretty much describes all the Jet Li English-language rereleases that have come out in the last little while. Li is always watchable as an action star, but in Twin Warriors (also an inaccurate title -- one which neglects the emphasis on Junbao's eventual metamorphosis into Zhang Sanfeng, founder of the Wudang school) one begins to see that he's been typecast quite a lot. He tends to play the slightly goofy, arrow-straight good guy. As Lethal Weapon 4 shows, he's capable of a much more complex persona.

The martial-arts sequences are wonderfully staged; I just wish director Yuen Woo Ping could have restrained himself as to the number of cliched trickeries. By the fifth time Tienbao (Chin Siu Hou) flies through the air or slides on the ground from an attack, I was almost yawning. Similarly, Yuen is riddled with his usual bad habits -- overly accelerated editing that often results in disorientation rather than excitement; pacing that's mindlessly fast, resulting in zero dramatic effect in all of the acting and writing elements. So all we have left is Jet Li's marvellous athleticism and not much more -- nothing close to the nuances and emotional impact of Fist of Legend. When you keep Yuen out of arm's reach of the camera he functions much better (as in The Matrix). As a director, all he's good for is choreography -- just look at Chin Siu Hou, so effective in Fist of Legend but a complete stereotype here. And the comedy is crude, a hit-or-miss affair.

Thank God Jet Li's advanced beyond Yuen Woo Ping's limited hand. With the more devilish of his hidden traits beginning to reveal themselves alongside his jaw-dropping fighting ability and screen charisma, Li is poised for greatness.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of Jet Li's best
Review: This movie had alot of string affects and had humor, but the creativity of the director to pull this movie off was incredible. The fight scene of Jet and Michelle will most definitely wow you. The overall concept of this movie is very good. The only thing I find is the on DVD and VCD the picture quality is not the great, but you will get into this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Taichi Master
Review: I didn't recognize the title "Twin Warriors"??? The U.S. version should leave it as "The Taichi Master" it's a far superior title. Anyway, this is a very good movie. Jet Li at his best with incredible wire work that makes all the fight scenes so mind blowing and amazingly enough, realistic. This is supposedly the story of how the art of tai chi got discovered by Cheng San- Feng, the man Jet Li portrays. Of course it has probably been sensationalized. Anyway it's a really good movie that is only slightly superior to his other movies of this kind (ie "The Swordsman II"). So if you have seen "The Swordsman II" and liked it, you'll love "The Tai Chi Master". But if you havn't seen either one of these, I highly recommend them both.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: How could it be different?
Review: Well ofcourse it's a masterpiece , it's Yuen Woo Ping and Jet li together!

There's not much to say really. Chin Siu Ho to my surprize proved to be a worthy adversary to Jet and even more. The choreography , as expected , is near perfect , and is perfectly executed. you could count on Woo Ping to create such a great story and to carry it out the way he did.

If you have just enaugh money to by your last piece of bread or this film-by this film. It's that good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the 2 best Jet Li movies ever
Review: This ranks up there as one of the 2 best jet li movies ever made.The other movie is Swordsmen 2 which is nothing short of a masterpiece and in my opinion can not be beaten by any American or Chinese Movie to date,there is just too much put into that movie,but back to the Tai-Chi Master which makes a valliant effort and displays the choreography skills of Yuen-woo Ping like none of his other movies can.The story is also very good with some comedy but alot of seriousness and the ultimate bad-guy which is jet's child hood friend in the beginning of the movie but becomes corrupted after they get kicked out of shaolin and he becomes obssesed with becoming a powerful enuch after seeing the privelages they recieve and becomes willing to do anything for power,and by the end of the movie becomes one of the evilest and most memorable villans ever created in a film.In addition Jet learning Tai-Chi at the end to defeat Tienabo makes for one of the best endings and fight scenes there is.This movie is very hard to come across but if you ever find it you better grab it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE TAI CHI MASTER pt 1
Review: As a lover of martial arts films, I have seen a lot of movies and tremendous actors and actresses in the martial arts world. Some of the names you may not know, but when I was introduced to Jet Li movie I felt like a hero, powerful and unstopable. I could go on and on but to make it short, Jet Li is the best martial artist I have ever seen. This movie is worth owning.Action ,Betrayl,Greed and Power is this movie basis. <<<ENJOY>>>
