Customer Reviews of Dragon Tiger Gate (Special Edition) 2 disc set
Very Entertaining Hong Kong Martial Arts Action Director Wilson Yip and martial action star Donnie Yen join forces again after their successful "Kill Zone" (also known as "SPL") for "Dragon Tiger Gate" based on the popular Hong-Kong comic books. Someone looking for the same things as "Kill Zone" would be disappointed for the new film does not try to hide the origin of its source materials, so the actions get less intense and the film's tone could hardly be called noir. Still "Dragon Tiger Gate" is hugely entertaining action film with such capable cast as Donnie Yen, Nicholas Tse, Shawn Yue and Jie Dong. Also great are the supporting actors including Kuan Tai Chen, veteran of Hong-Kong film industry since the days of Shaw Brothers in the 1970s. <

>I haven't read the original comics, but it is obvious that the story is condensed for film adaptation. The story about the two brothers Dragon Wong (Donnie Yen) and Tiger Wong (Nicholas Tse) is confusing at first, but please wait for the actions to begin, and once they start, the film certainly delivers. <

>Don't take anything too seriously here. The mayhems in restaurant with long-haired Donnie Yen and Nicholas Tse battling the combatants of the crime syndicate are made for pure entertainment. Shawn Yue is Turbo Shek, wandering fighter wielding a pair of nunchaku. You'll see a dinner table flying like a saucer, a huge sandbag (actually, the biggest one in the world) dropping from up above, and our heroes high-kicking the villains without touching the ground, but all of them are meant to be like that, just to be enjoyed. The film also benefits from the rousing score by Kenji Kawai (Mamoru Oshii's "Innocence"). <

>The film's middle section slows down, and as always, female roles are not the most impressive ones in "Dragon Tiger Gate." Even Jie Dong who was so good in "Happy Times" is not required to do much, and neither is beautiful Xiao Ran Li. <

>"Dragon Tiger Gate" is not only an answer to Hollywood which produced "Matrix" series or its trendy comic book adaptation; it is also a unique blend of Donnie Yen's martial arts skills, Wilson Yip's stylish camera works and above-average special effects. Enjoy it.
One of the most dynamic Martial Arts actioner EVER!
This film was BOSS!!! Donnie Yen is truly a master at the choreographing of MA sequences and providing SOMETHING NEW. All of that is present in this outing but we have the added component of CGI used subtley to enhance the action. The camera work and art direction are drop dead gorgeous. The physical capabilities of the film's stars cannot be overstated. They really got down and dirty here and it was FIERCE! You can't NOT mention the music/sound, cinematography and art direction. That training sequence is BEAUTIFUL and scored for the Gods! I loved the little nods to the comics. There are frames that last fractions of a second but really create the action feel of a comic. Buy it--it rules. (I also loved the two love stories going as well)
Great beginning and then fizzles.
The first half of the movie was amazing. The first few fight scenes put a big grin on my face and the story looked like it was going to be well fleshed out and then spppppppp! They rushed so fast through the end the story lost it's appeal. It's still a good film but could have been so much better if they just took their time to finish it properly. Still worth watching but more of a rental than a buy.
