Customer Reviews of Fearless (Unrated Full Screen Edition)

One of the best Martial Arts movie, ever.
This movie, in my honest opinion, will go down as a underated classic in the Martial Arts genre of films. Everything about Jet Li's Fearless is awesome, and downright amazing. First, let's start with the characters; Jet Li's main character is developed very well in this movie. He starts off as a young boy, eager to learn Wushu, but is prohibited by his father. After watching his father battle a rival wushi martial artist, he is disappointed to see him lose. The rivals father has a son, who beats up the young Jet Li - then it begins: he swears to never lose a fight and begins to train by himself at a young age to master his fathers form of wushu. After many battles, he determined to become the best, and even defeats the young man who beat him up when he was a little boy. And this is just the begining of his journey. <

>But with all this success, comes a price - and this is what the movie delves into. It goes into paying the price for murder, and the consquences of seeking revenge. It goes into hope and redemption for those that have err'd in there way. It has a very good theme, and the acting is great. The movies soundtrack is also very fitting. <

>Now onto the fight scenes. The fight scenes are incredible. A mix of realism and fantasy keeps them entertaining and fresh - if your worried about "over-the-top" fighting, where guys go flying 50 feet everywhere and blood spills all over the place; fret not, there is none of that here. This isn't to say there isn't any fantasy in the fight scenes, but they keep it within reason, and play it off as something believable. The camera angles and sound effects they used during the fight scenes are all excellent. The sound is clear - you can feel every punch, and hear the clashing of every sword. I highly recommend an awesome sound system, or a very nice pair of headphones if you want it real loud in your ears. Easly some of the best fight scenes to ever be filmed. Ever (yes, this easly rivals the old Bruce Lee movies). <

>The only problem with this movie is the 45min gap in the middle where nothing is really happening. While this does give the movie a break from the non-stop action, it is quite, well, boring. But it does add to Jet Li's character and is a needed to help push the setup for his return to the ring, and to bring honor back to the men of Asia. <

>Overall: 5 stars. A definite must-see for any martial arts fan, or action movie person.

Excellent Movie- Bad DVD
The reason I am giving this DVD 3 stars is not because the movie is bad, but because the DVD version is bad. I loved the movie itself and for the most part agree with the positive reviews that have been posted here. I have been a Jet Li fan, as well as a martial arts movie fan in general, for many years and this is by far one of Jet Li's finest films. Unfortunately, this DVD version suffers from terrible subtitling and a lack of extras for the price. There are no theatrical trailers, only one deleted scene out of many which have been written about throughout the internet, and no running commentary. But the biggest problem I had, as mentioned earlier, was the subtitling. I had watched the Chinese released DVD before the theatrical release and then watched it in the theatre. There were some differences between these two versions in regards to the translation of the Mandarin and Japanese being spoken, but for the most part were the same. However, the translation for the US released DVD is totally different in some parts and to me ruined some of the more important dialogue. One example is when Huo Yinjia is explaining his philosophy on martial arts to his soon-to-be opponent Tanaka. Also, since I understand just a tad bit of Japanese I knew that some of the translations on this DVD were way off the mark and ruined the overall feeling of those scenes. This was not the case of the Chinese released DVD and the US theatrical release. Again, I'd like to make it very clear that the movie itself was awesome and would rate 5 stars in book. The 3 star rating is for the US released DVD. Whether you saw the movie in the theatre or want to watch it for the first time, I'd stay clear of this version and go to your local Chinatown or Ebay and purchase the Chinese version of the DVD. How or why they did such a poor job on the translation compared to the US theatrical release and the Chinese DVD is a mystery to me.
