Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Once Upon a Masterpiece
Review: This is probably the most all round compelling martial arts film I have ever seen. It combines amazing fight sequences with a complex story and surperb acting. Jet Li plays Wong Fei Hung, a kung fu master who runs a local militia of Chinamen. Tentions are rising as the British and the Americans are entering China to exploit it's resorces. Eventually they boil over and what unravels is what happened Once Upon a Time in China. This story really has it all and Li(in the role that made him a star) is magnificent. I gave this movie 5 stars based on its rank of Hong Kong martial arts flims I have seen. I highly recommend it to any fan of action films and particularly to Jet Li fans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An all-around good movie,excellent story, and great fights
Review: This movie is an excellent example of how good a Hong Kong movie can be. The fight scenes are top of the line and the DVD has some great features. The story goes by smoothly and it has strong characters.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jet Li rocks
Review: This movie is great all around classic movie. Everything was good in this movie the music,acting,story,and the over the top fighting scenes! My favorite fights are the two duels between Jet and the villian talk about over the top genius from Yuen Woo Ping and Tsui Hark! I just wish that Yuen Biao had a bigger role in the movie and I wish he would have fought more too. But other than that this movie is just too great to pass up!

Summary: First in an excellent series of movies by Jet Li
Review: This series of films starring Jet Li are awesome. The portray a legendary chinese folk hero with lots of action. Its an excellent blend of action with a touch of humor. I would recommend seeing this to see what has made Jet Li the next Bruce Lee.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent display of Jet Li's martial arts prowess.
Review: Unlike a lot of martial arts films, this film contains an excellent plot, with some superb acting, particularly by Yuen Biao. Artistic, with excellent cinematography, this film is a pleasure to watch. Jet Li's fighting is amazing, the only drawback being a moderate use of wire-work, which always detracts from the realism, somewhat. Overall though, thoroughly enjoyable!
