Summary: Not good enough
Review: There was something about this movie that made me want to give it more than two stars, but y'know that ain't gon happen. The reason is that they had a great premise and a great action star, but they let the air go out of the movie somewhere near the beginning. It never recovered.

Now don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the movie, especially the spec ops like fire fights and the nicely done super human abilities that Jet had. Still I blame whoever for allowing the movie to rest soley on those aspects and never exploring the full potential of an Ultimate ONE. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to make my own movie. If you hear about some guy dying in his own basement trying to film a sci-fi flick that was me. That is, I can't do it, but they could have accomplished soooooooo much more with this movie.

Still I enjoyed it at the $1 flick and I'd see it again if I was in an airplane on my way somewhere. So if you like Jet Li, action, and want an escape this does all of that. But if you are super creative and think you're going to get a mixture of creativity and action...I am sorry. Say it with me...It ain't gon happen.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Worth Owning
Review: The One is a really good action flick. Not too much on story though. While this movie is nowhere near as good as Kiss of the Dragon it has some really cool special effects and is worth owning in my opinion.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: If all you're looking for is a**whuppin' martial arts and...
Review: wonderful special effects then you'll love this movie. However if you'd like some story with your movie then you're going to be a bit dissapointed. The One was beautifully done and the idea is great. It's just that the story is just a front for the action, not the action being a part of the story. I love Kung Fu movies and I love Sci Fi. I was hoping for a skilled marrying of the genres a la the Matrix. I would watch it again as a special effects/martial arts flick, but I wish I hadn't bought it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jet Li is indeed "The One"
Review: I would highly recommend buying this DVD. It is his third good film in America since Lethal Weapon 4...in which he was a total bad boy. This movie has it all, good Jet and bad Jet...although rooting for either is a mute point. I liked how they are now incorporating love interests in his movies and this one plays it off very purely. The only complaint i could possibly have is the mainstream music which kind of cheapens the effect similar to the other American Li movies where rap is played. This movie has quite a lot of deep symbolism and evokes the answer to the universal question: "in a fight between me and evil me who would win?" I am buying this movie as soon as it comes out on DVD...exactly in the same manner as "Kiss of the Dragon"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The One DVD I Own
Review: This movie is absolutely awesome, if you like martial arts and special effects, then you have to see The One.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: REVOLUTIONARY IDEAS
Review: As a Jet Li fan, I really liked this movie. I enjoyed this movie not this time as much as the "KISS OF DRAGON" or the "ROMEO MUST DIE" for the really cool karate movements of Jet Li, including the adventure of the film. But, what really impressed me was the introduction of the pioneering idea of multi-dimensional universes and time by the director James Wong. I believe that even though this story might confused some people, still there are many others (including me) who accept it...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Matrix PreSequel
Review: This movie has many special effects that you can see one more time, good argument, good sounds, good scenarios, just look it and probe it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Nice Storyline!
Review: I happened to see this flick y'day. What I liked was the storyline - the concept of Multiverses and the Balancing of the same excited me a great deal only to be thoroughly disappointed by the below-the-line performances. Apart from a few kicks, Jet Li is nothing in the movie. Wish they were more lines than the usual kicks and punches.

Jet Li's twin in another universe is out on the run to become the one by intaking all the energies of the other look alikes in other universes. The last one left: Jet Li of course! There are multiverse cops, ways of execution, and the works.

It could have been made better by a more gripping storyline!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't Waste Your Time
Review: This movie was horrible, I actually fell asleep during it. Even someone who can see a movie just for the special effects or martial arts will be disappointed. I felt like asking for my money back, this movie definitely wasn't "The One". Save your money.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The One
Review: I really enjoyed this movie.It had very good special effects and a nice story.Sure,It doesn't beat The Matrix in term of originality,but it's still a movie you should buy if you're a fan of Jet Li or if you like martial arts.
