Summary: Disappointing
Review: 1 star for the displays of Jet Li's impressive skills. 1 star for some really evocative scenic shots. Other than that, this movie is a disappointment.The story jumps all over the place. Characters are introduced, developed, and dropped from the story seemingly at random. You can piece together what is going on, but it's painful. This isn't to say that the story isn't good, it's that the storyTELLING is terrible. A ham-fisted, amateurish attempt at movie making. Bruce Lee's "Fists of Fury" (as an example) is a superior movie simply for managing to present its plot in a half-way coherent manner, and it's so much older. If all you care about is the Kung Fu action, this movie has it in spades. If you are at all concerned with what holds the fights together, you may want to rent this before you buy it.
