It's been a long time since I last watched Fearless. I forgot just how good a performance this was from Jet Li. He plays Chinese Martial Arts/Wushu Master Huo Yuanjia at the turn of the last century, and the impression that Fearless gives is it's the film Jet Li has wanted to make ever since he started appearing movies. It feels like a very personal film (even though it's a biopic of somebody else!)

From the immensely well choreographed fight sequences to the sets and design; the attention to detail here is remarkable as every scene looks painstakingly crafted.

It might not be as action packed as some of his other films are, nor as epic as something like Hero. But it is a very good movie with a story that has a lot of heart in it.

If you are a Jet Li fan then stop what you are doing and watch this epic. Fearless highlights Jets inevitably awesome martial art skills, routed through wushu kung fu, as he fights various battles against different wushu styles to become the best. The movie promotes the vast magnificent styles of wushu, portraying the art of the fist and multiple weaponary. Not only is it action packed but the narrative embodes a gripping true storyline. Emotional set-backs throughout the film give more empathy toward the numerous battles Jet encounters. Fearless is undoubtedly on par with some of Jets best work and electrifies how much of a true kung fu legend he is.

This was pretty good, especially the second half. I guess I need to find the directors cut.

Some great fights in this. Jet Lis character was kind of annoying in the first half, but he was supposed to be just that...

Finally, a demanding Martial Arts Movie that brings Jet Li back to his roots, movie-wise. And I'm not trying to sound pretentious, I'm just talking about an awesome combination of story and MA. And I believe, the former sentence describes the movie best. It's sweeping, very well choreographed and visually adorable.

So why not 5 stars? Well, 5 Stars is only for my darlings ;)

This film is very deeply moving at times. It's the moments that Jet Li wasn't fighting that were actually the most poignant.

Brilliant fight choreography by Woo-Ping yet again.

This also had a lovely score as well.

An effortlessly entertaining martial arts film that tries to be a bit more than it actually is. Still, a strong performance from Jet Li and well-made as a whole.

'Fearless' felt like a drawn-out insult to film, to martial arts movies, to the viewer. Even the good fight scenes were just interrupted by bad editing and reduced to downright stupidity. Combine that with a trite, schlocky attempt at a morality play and you have this mess.

It's decent. Good fight scenes but the silly depictions of British fighters really annoyed. One of the last films before Jet Li lost it.

Jet Li has done a number of American movies which is why this one of the more popular movies on the list. However, I feel like when ever I bring up Fearless around people who like martial arts movies and / or Jet Li they haven’t seen it. Fearless is easily one of Jet Li’s best films and demonstrating that he can actually emit more than two emotions like in most of his films. The fact is that most traditional martial arts films follow a specific storyline and character development for the sheer purpose of getting from fight to fight. That is the case with Fearless, however it’s a much deeper look into the genre, specifically with Jet Li’s character, Huo Yuanjia and watching him transform from a total arseface to an admirable fighter on the world stage. Pick up the Director’s Cut if you can, it runs at an extra 35 minutes and contains a fight with Michelle Yeoh.
