He who believes hype is the one who is dissapointed.

Rating: 4/10 (16 August 2002)

What a major let down! I waited ages for to see this expecting a spectacular masterpiece that had me spellbound but what i got was a slow movie that left me empty and let down. the special affects were good but if you are not a martial arts fan then they leave you cold. Who cares if the people can run over buildings? i could if i had wire strapped to my back. Who cares if they can fight? What wanted was a story that that tugged at my emotions and left me stunned but this didnt come close . Also it was full of chinese proverbs that got irritating. proverbs such as " if the tiger is asleep the bear isnt hungry " What is that all about! Maybe its because i dont like martial arts films that i give this a bad review but i still think this was dull. 4 out of 10.
