I'm a huge Jackie fan and kinda grew up watching his movies so I was looking forward to this. Sad to say that I'm disappointed. I agree with everyone that the language was really f***ed up. Looking at those Chinese emperors and stuff speaking in english was just so freaking out of place and kinda put me off. The fighting scenes were also nothing to shout about. I don't know....I guess I've watched too many Jackie/Jet Li movies so whenever theres a fight I'd be like "Bleh...I've seen better". That goes the same for the showdown between Jackie and Jet Li. I thought it was a bit too long, ok maybe it wasn't THAT long but I felt that it went on and on until I was starting to get bored.
As for the story, its a bit too...childish for a teenager like me. I'd say its more like some family adventure/fantasy movie instead of action/comedy (didn't really find it funny). Though parents might need to poke their kids eyes for a few seconds when those scantily clad women and someone getting stabbed by a sword scenes comes along.
So yeah thats pretty much it. I'd give it 2/5. I would probably watch it again just to see those hot chicks. Liu Yi Fei is just so damn fine.

The newspaper states that its uncut. I was wondering if there even is anything to cut. Do Jackie and Jet Li use foul language? Or do they actually main bontot or something?
Anyway..I heard theres a kissing between the American guy and Yi Fei. Is it true?
