Without a doubt, the most overrated movie of all time

Rating: 4/10 (9 May 2001)

Everyone I know has hated this movie. All of my friends hated it, all of my coworkers hated it, and all of my family hated it. As for me, I was indifferent to it. Sop why is it number 11 on the top 250 list? I'll tell you why. It's purdy.
I have come to the conclusion that people today are way too easily amused. I know, the cinematography in this movie is gorgeous. I know, the special effects are original and outstanding. But what else I ask? Is the story any good? I sure didn't think so. Is this story that new? If you think it is, man you are an idiot. It doesn't help that the movie switches back and worth between tow parallel plots. Never, never put two plots in one movie. One plot is about a stolen sword and the revenge of the main character's master. The second plot is a flashback between this princess and the overused "rouge/bandit" character. Want a comparison? It reminds me of Aladdin, does that help?
Okay, the action scenes are really cool. I admit that. I like kung fu. But, hey, the action scenes are not very long and they are few and far between. Oh, and then there's the ending. I won't spoil it, but it's a bit of a let down. When I sit in a dark room for 2 hours staring at a movie that is acclaimed as this is, and being terribly disappointed, I expect some kind of cool finale. I don't ask for much, a cool plot twist, a cool special effect, anything. And what do we get? Eh, not much. No way to end a movie.
Is this movie any good? Yea, there are some good things about it. The action (though it is rare and you have probably seen all of it on TV). That bamboo scene is overrated. It looks SOOOO fake. The dialog is weak. The story is weak. The acting is probably weak. I can't tell because I have to read what they're saying. Overall, I think the entire movie is weak. I know that many of you are saying, "Oh, you are some kind of racist. You don't like Chinese people." No, not at all. I heard that the Chinese hated this movie because they thought it was stupid. Enter the Dragon remains as the best kung-fu movie ever, and NOTHING can de-throne it.
Hey, Titan AE looked good. Baby Geniuses looked good. There are some very good looking movies out there that "look" good but we hate. Go look at my "the Haunting" review for my famous M&M analogy, and you'll have a better idea of what I'm talking about.
