Fist of legend
Bad remake of a claqssic.
Good cinematics, not so good directing, good fights.
It lacks the spark, I dont recommend it to anyone but martial arts or Jet Li fanatics.
Maybe its just the dubbing that kills the spirit.
Favourite quote: (during a fight)
-What style was that?
-Dont worry Ill show it to you.
Quoting my self on the topic "THE BEST MARTIAL ARTS MOVIE OF ALL TIME":
This is a truly great martial arts movie, but the directing isn't good enough, I'm sitting in a chair watching a movie, that's it. And that's not the way it should be. It should be me experiencing yet another chapter in Chinese history. Its an obvious must see for all martial arts heads of course, but the rest of the world will need something better.

No, It is very good, but It lacks life/energy/spark/magic -something. Jet Li movies suffers from this a lot (except Danny the dog/unleashed tough).
The fighting is up there with snake in the eagles shadow and Bruce Lee stuff, but unless I can feel the blows and smell the sweat its not perfect.
