Bunch of rich white guys pay Chinese actors gazillions to be in their crappy film? Not to mention John Fusco, who is quite possibly the worst screenwriter on earth (hoorah, he's making a Seven Samurai rip-off). And if I hear Rob Minkoff again talk about his Lion King genius in another unrelated interview, I may /wrists.

So no, I don't think it'll be good.

It's pretty average, you might want to wait til it's out on dvd or not see it at all.

Unless you're a Jackie Chan, Jet Li fan.

The fight-scenes and Jet Li's/Jackie Chan's kung fu will most likely be very entertaining to watch. Everything else will probably be a disaster. BTW, it's 'family-friendly' too, so that's a bad sign for anyone anticipating a movie like Jet Li's Hero. (Ying Xiong)

pretty crap movie.

hated the plot. only worth it as it's the only movie that i know of with both Jackie Chan and Jet li in together. Too bad it wasn't produced by the guy who did "police story". those movies were awesome

fight scenes good
few moments where a plot could be seen but wasn't developed to a level which you could call 'entertainment'

Agreed. Someone better could have made this movie more entertaining and more attractive.

But Jackie Chan & Jet Li combination is pretty awe~~~~some!

A white guy in an ancient chinese mythical scenario just ruins the whole movie.

I cringe everytime they say English translations of those kung fu techniques. It's awkward.
