It is loosely based on the life of Huo Yuanjia, a famous Chinese martial artist who challenged foreign fighters in highly publicised events, restoring pride and nationalism to China at a time when Western imperialism and Japanese manipulation were eroding the country during the last few years before the birth of the Republic of China.Too much melodramatic and exagerated.I was expecting so much about this boring movie. |

If this is truly Jet Li's final martial arts film, I'm glad he went out the way he did. Beautifully choreographed fights highlight this tale of a man searching for his true destiny. |

The fights were fantastic and very beautiful to watch. I wish the movie had a little bit more substance, the soul-searching can only go on for so long before you want more. Overall it is a good martial arts movie. |

Jet Li's: Fearless (Huo Yuan Jia) review |
|
The story of a young and matured Huo Yuanjia (Jet Li). Definitely one of the best fight scenes presented on screen be it with weapons or hand to hand. Best lines that summarizes the film: "The biggest enemy of a person is himself." Another wonderful quote: "One cannot choose how one's life begins. It takes courage to finish the final step." One of Jet Li's best performances, be it in the fight sequences or showing drama and cockiness because of his wushu martial arts. Locations and cinematography was gorgeous while the soundtrack adds to its critical scenes. Minor hindrances were the believability of the fight scenes, which felt like watching The Matrix or Crouching Tiger, though it was aptly displayed from the beginning of the aforementioned films. Fearless is composed of pure emo... |

"Fearless" by Yojimbo |
|
Fearless is based on the life of Huo Yuanjia, a martial artist who became the figurehead of Chinese national pride at the turn of the century. The format is all very familiar; a famous fighter becomes drunk on his own success until his arrogance results in tragedy leading to his downfall. He learns what is important in life and overcomes adversity to fight a final battle to restore the pride of his country. Yes, Rocky, The Karate Kid and a hundred others have followed this formula, but the fact that this is in fact based on a true story gives it much greater credibility. I would also have to say that, although I may be biased, the way the Chinese approach the subject matter is something akin to comparing a piece of artful, moving poetry to Hollywood's ham-fisted and tacky greetings card r... |
