I don't see how anyone could like this

Rating: 5/10 (31 July 2006)

In spite of the dazzling choreography and good fight scenes (which are why this movie didn't merit a zero), this movie is lacking in plot. Half of the movie is spent in boring (and sometimes irrelevant) flashbacks, with an appallingly dull story. Actually, there is no real story. If you're looking for cool special effects and fights without a storyline, then this is the movie for you. I was getting restless in my seat about 15 minutes into the movie. The fact that this movie was so popular is simply another testament to the fact that lots of people have taste where they sit. In short, though this film is visually thrilling, it fails in the most important area: a good plot.
