MOVIE: Jet Li's Fearless

Fearless is Jet Li last martial Arts Epic, and boy did he go out on a great note. Just like Hero, which came out in 2005, the look and feel is basically the same. Fearless is a story about a man who would note let his nation be the laughing stock of the would, while the nations from the west came into China and was destroying all the fighters that were there at the time and his journey to show his people can fight too.

Right off at the bat Fearless wastes no time at bring the action to the audience, With mere seconds you are engulfed into a brawls which is very nicely put together, As a matter of fact all the fights were really well done, well done Yuen Wo-Ping, who is if you done know one of the greatest Choreographer anyone as ever seen in the movies. His credits range from: Unleashed, Kung Fu Hustle, All three Matrix's, Revolution, and Reloaded, to Kill Bill Vols. 1 and 2.

Jet Li play a man named Huo Yuanjia, who is the son of one of the great fighter in China, match after match Huo gets himself such a large following that he his know throughout the lands of Tianjin. As his popularity expands and grows so does Huo head, which later lands him in a self discovery on who he was and as he develops he create a Federation to stand up against these people from the west.

Jet Li is a great actor, but he also isn't the only great actor that is in this film there is Collin Chou, who for the most part played Seraph in Matrix's Revolutions and Reload, in those two film he had a great fight scene with Neos character. There is also Masato Harada who is a actor who played in the Last Samurai with Tom Cruse, He is also a wonderful Writer and Directer I will recommend any of his film.

Fearless is a great film overall but I do know there are many people who don't like the Subtitle part, most likely on the DVD release in America it will come with a English Audio Track inside with the original language. Even if you don't like to read Subtitles while you are watching a film I would still recommend this film to you, basically because of the action is so amazing that you'll know exactly whats happening by both the fighting styles and the actors emotion in each scene.
