Review of Fearless

10/10
A magnificent work of art by Jet Li!
22 September 2006
Jet Li is known for his prowness and skill as a martial artist. For his final movie, "Fearless" makes its point! Based on the life of Wushu master Huo Yuanjia. Ronny Yu did a spectacular job make this movie work. Huo(Li) is a proud fighter, who would goes to the extremes to be the best. His pride however always seems to get the better of him. Whenever he wins a battle, disciples follow him around and began to worship him. When he picks a battle against Master Chin. His fates was sealed. After defeating, and killing Chin his godson takes advantage of killing his mother and daughter Jade. It's a shame that his pride got himself into trouble, then again one of his disciples isn't as loyal as he thought. So Huo leaves his city, and when he made a settling, he meets Moon(Li Sun), a young, blind caring woman. She helps his find himself again which is good, and he also finds a sense of redemption. Then after a few years of exile, his city has changed. It has foreigners residing there. I guess exile served as a purpose to see the errors of his country's lifestyle. In that city he meets a Japanese fighter named Tanaka(Shiro Nakamura). Who talks to Huo about tea, and fighting styles. A sign of respect is brewing between countries. And that fight between Huo and O'Brien(Nathan Jones) makes another awakening. This movie is great. I liked everything it has: The storyline, the choreography, and the fighting skills which surpasses all other movies Jet Li has made. The main theme of this movie is Honor! 5 Stars!
