Boring, Really Boring

Rating: 1/10 (12 January 2002)

I do not see the appeal of this movie. The story is more suited for a child's book than a feature film. Great for bedtime stories, as it would bore them to sleep in a jiffy.
The fight scenes are ridiculous. Jumping, flying and kicking like a poorly choreographed ballet (a ballet for lumbering cattle). I would like to have seen a real martial arts master like Bruce Li walk in and really kick their slow, clumsy butts. Heck, my 16 year old kid could kick their butts.
The "flying" is really dumb. The "actors" legs dangle in the air like in a amateur presentation of Peter Pan. Just don't expect the acting to be on par with the average high school presentation.
I saw this on a long flight and considered walking out, but the 6 mile drop dissuaded me. Come to think of it, Crouching Tiger made the flight seem longer.
2/10 The scenery is good. The rest of the movie isn't.
