Too much of everything

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This movie is a pseudo biographical of Jet Li's early developement. But the real meat of the movie is showing off some really impressive Shaolin training techniques. Like standing on one finger, training the neck to not only be able to break sticks, but to keep a spear from penetrating. There is very little combat fight scenes, but to see the real techniques that are the basis of the cinematic arts is amazing. Some of the footage is apparently of techniques that have never before been demonstrated outside Shaolin. Very impressive and worth watching.
