Man, this is by far, the best Jet Li movie I've seen.
Choreography is raw with very real but dazzling moves. Don't miss out on this if you're a martial arts fan.
a loose remake of bruce lee's fist of fury and a homage to some of his other films, fist of legend exceeds some of those films through superior choreography and a more painfully relevant undertone to the story line. the musical score was a weak spot and there were elements of th... read more
Wow, just watched this for the fourth time, and I'm about to watch it one more time before I send it back to netflix. One of the best pure martial arts films I'be ever watched. It's Jet Li in his prime with very little wire work and the other FX BS that can sometimes screw up a... read more
This is one of my favourite kung fu films of all time. Woo Ping + Jet Li = quality and this is his best. The fight scenes are superb. I didn't think Iron monkey could be beaten until I watched this. The end fight is my favourite fight of all time and I've seen a few! I can't reco... read more

Considered to be one of Jet Li's best movies. It isn't my favorite but it is very good. The story is interesting and the many action scenes are choreographed well. Where else can you see a blindfolded Jet Li fight sequence? This is a must see for any Jet Li fan.
If you can watch the opening fifteen minutes without wincing, you're made of stern stuff. One of Li's most brutal works.
Jet Li remakes Bruce Lee, and the result is great. Full Review
If you don't feel the bones breaking, you're not watching closely enough. Full Review
A high-flying, hidden-wire kick-and-punch-fest, set against a historical, epic backdrop. Full Review
The strong point of this film is the cinematography of Derek Wan. The images are imbued with the rich, vibrant color which has become a hallmark of modern Chinese films. Full Review
If you're going remake a film, it should be better than (or at least different from) the original. And surprisingly, Fist of Legend manages to do just that. Full Review
Although this is disappointing, there are more than enough good scenes (both action and otherwise) to keep this enterprise afloat and entertaining. Full Review
