Jet Li stars in a new movie about a warrior who defies his empire and goes after the assassins that killed his people in a new movie by the producers of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It releases August 27th. The trailer is here. Yeah, so Quentin has good taste!
I saw this movie at a friend's house, since he owns the original version on DVD. It's okay, but not as great as I hoped. Just don't walk into the theater thinking it's a Jet Li movie though and you'll be fine, I guess. Oh yeah, Quentin didn't direct this movie. Yimou Zhang did. Quentin is just "presenting" it. Will: Not to be picky, but it's Chinese.
Yep. It's the same for Shaolin Soccer, that comedy which copied the special effects from The Matrix. [/b][/quote] Yeah my friend in Cali got the bootleg from China town for like 10 dollars and you might as well just get one of Shaolin Soccer too. I rather not see it because I don't see anything that original or special about it. Just more dodging impossible things and slowing down time.
Since I haven't been watching TV lately, I just saw the trailer a few days ago. It looks pretty sweet, but I'll wait for a review.
I saw the movie last night on opening night. It was great. A little confusing at parts because of the fast-leaving subtitles and numerous flashbacks, but nonethelless very exciting to watch. An entertaining movie.
