Summary: Solid fun
Review: The original title of this film was "The Tai-Chi Master." Lots of fun to be had in this film, showing how two friends that grew up together could end up fighting each other because of their beliefs...one righteous and the other power hungry. Michelle Yeoh and Jet Li provide most of the action, and a great five on five hundred fight is included, showing through betrayel how far the power hungry friend will go.

Summary: great kung fu "western"
Review: This is the movie that started me off on kung fu movies, and it remains one of my favorites. The cinematography is great, beautiful settings, especially the temple scenes. But above & beyond that, it is just a good movie, with enough humor to keep it from getting as heavy-handed as the "Once Upon A Time" movies. It is a wire-work extravaganza, with some frankly unbelievable stunts, but, hey... why not? Jet Li is great as the good guy, and we get to see the development of the bad guy from Jet Li's best friend into a power hungry archfiend. Lots of extras, literally a "cast of thousands" effect & very a interesting (although I have no idea how accurate) display of historic Chinese uniforms & dress styles. Definately worth buying if you have the least interest in kung fu/historic adventure flicks.

Summary: Twin Warriors
Review: High flying Kung Fu action. If you are a Jet Li or Michelle Yeoh fan this is a MUST. Continuious action throughout the whole movie with a bit of humor. Plot doesn't drift off into love just butt kicking action. I think this is one of Jet Li's best movies.

Summary: Jet Li's, Michelle Yeoh and Yuen Woo-ping Best Film!!!!!!
Review: This movie is the best Jet Li movie of all time. The rating tells it all. The Fighting scenes were magnificant. There was the coolest fight scenes with weapons and some of the best scenarios for fighting. My heart was racing and I studdered in disbelieve at the action choreography. It truly was astounding. The insight about Tai-chi is also accurate and the wirework is fabulous. Fist of Legend was my favortie movie until this movie came along with all the fighting. Michelle Yeoh was amazing as wel with her use of a machete and her fighting techniques. All the fight scenes were new to me and didn't disappoint. This is the greatest movie I have ever seen.

Review: For anyone who LOVES Jet Li and LOVES Kung-Fu movies, this one is a MUST SEE!! The story was great, the martial arts were unbelievable and it was extremely entertaining.

If you can then I defintiely recommend you SEE IT!!

Summary: Best Jet Li, for what it is...
Review: I'd probably say this is about the most fun moivie of Jet Li's that's hit the American maket so far. This one is not a serious, tight fisted movie like "Fist of Legend". This one is more of a mainstream Golden Harvest production; corney plot, cheesy wire stunts, but Li and Yoh make it work! I grew up on Golden Harvest movies / Kung-fu theater, and have well learned to get past the cheesy action and just enjoy the action for what it is. If you can too, you will find that this is about the most fun Jet Li movie out there. I own the tape, and watch the thing about once every two weeks! The plot is better than usual; about two opphan kisd who grow up in a Shauo-Lin temple, constantly get in trouble, are fprced to leave, and then gop their seperate ways afterwards. One takes the road of evil, joining the army of a greedy, fashist ruler, the other joining a group of rebles. If you can get past the cheasball stunts, the fight scenes are very enjoyable. Average Golden Harvest movie, but high on fun!

Summary: Jet Li, Michelle Yeoh, Chin Siu Ho...who could ask for
Review: ...anything more?This movie rocks completely. It has that fresh sterile feeling that really makes you hungrily anticipate the soon to come action...and action is right. This movie is so rocking...it doesn't pause very long before it pops out with another fight scene with the absolute most wonderful choreography. The women are mezmerizing...and Jet Li is enthusiastic and funny! The swift Tai Chi dance in the grass is STUNNING...of course, it's not really a dance, it's a form...but it looks so gorgeous, you'll want to repeat, repeat, repeat. And like the others, I'd like to strangle the idiots at Dimension film for trading musical pieces and other track layouts to make them more "palatable" for American audiences. Americans would love it even more with their original awesome musical pieces!

Summary: The best Jet Li movie ever!

Summary: just ok
Review: this movie looked outstanding, it was actually better than i thought it was going to be. i rented the version with subtitles becuase bubbing pissess me off, then wishing that i would have gotten the one with dubbing. the subtitles were so glared that you could barely even read them. the fight seens were outstanding though, defing gravity, although this is no crouching tiger hidden dragon, the fight seens in the tai chi master are almost just as unbelievable. It was great that the women could fight too.
Rating:
Summary: Fun, and action-packed!
Review: Loved this movie - while it is a re-release of an old Jet Li movie, it's one of the best. If you prefer subtitles (as I do) you may not like it. But this movie does a better job of matching voices to characters then some I've seen. I'm a huge Jet-Li fan and I saw the original movie years ago in the theater - hard to find on VHS until now.
