I love journey films and this one is still one of the best I've seen, masters dueling and learning about confidence and respect 👍

It’s a solid film. Jackie Chan and Jet Li together for the first time. Not perfect, but decent fun.

Not a great movie, but a fun movie. If you want Crouching Tiger, don’t watch this. If you want Jackie Chan/Jet Li fantasy fun adventure..👍
