Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Randomness90s I love me some Donnie Yen but this movie sucked. It hurt my feelings. The movie starts out strong with the war beginning and plot centered on the tension between Chinese and Japanese similar to the first IP man. So it starts out promising but leads to a great disappointment. I don't understand how this movie could fail so much with a strong cast. The villain was a strong lead...wait yes I do, THE PLOT SUCKED!What really urked my EVERY LASTING NERVE was that the love connection that was supposed to be there between Chen Zhen (Donnie) and the girl Fang Qing was NEVER really there...AT ALL. It was never established and dragged the entire plot down. She was drunk the entire movie. He catches her packing a gun and suspiciously takes a photo that exposes him then *drum roll*...he LETS HER GO!? This low down, drunken, pretty girl betrayed Chen Zhen, exposed his identity to the Colonel antagonist, ultimately leading to the brutal deaths of his fellow comrades from back in the war, had his sister beat up and violently raped by the enemy Colonel, also Chen Zhen is butt naked from head to toe while being brutally beat with knife knuckles and whipped to the brim point of DEATH.....then are we supposed to FEEL a connection or a lost for him when she dies???! Other than surface physical attraction there was nothing really worth there that amounted to his lost. A super hero is supposed to be clever, diligent and always alert. He was P*SSY WHIPPED in this movie! Donnie's awesome movie track record, reputation, fighting and charisma could not save this film. The only cool part is that he did channel some Bruce Lee in there with the noises and techniques that Bruce would do.

tigerstar154 Legend of the FistI saw this trailer during a screening of "IP MAN" and I was like oh yea, i have to see this! It had Donnie Yen in it, so that pretty much summed it up. When I saw the movie, It blew me away. It was great. It had a cool 20's like extravagance in it. The Pluses: The Scenery of Shanghai, Donnie Yen and his fighting skills, Shu Qi and her sexiness. Actions scenes and how the Japanese were being portrayed.The Minuses: Too short, and some Chinese Propaganda inserted. Overall, Legend of the fist is great, watch it for Donnie Yen.

samuel shen Where to start….? Watched it on Netflix, and was really excited for the first 10 minutes because for once in my lifetime I finally came across a MA movie that's not telling me the story about how the Chinese being invaded from whomever for whatever reasons. I was wrong, miserably wrong.At one point I was still looking at Donne Yan killing German solider in the Western battlefield, minutes later he became Chen Zhen (played by Bruce Lee in the 1972 blockbuster, "Fist of Fury") in a black suit kicking Japanese's asses. Don't get me wrong, the fight scenes are crystal clear, fast, and furious; but for every 5 minutes fight scene comes a 35 minutes "Chinese trying so hard to be united against the Japanese", I just couldn't help but to skip through the so-called "acting" part. I knew what's coming next, you probably knew too, in fact everyone who have ever watched a MA movie would have known exactly what's going to happen next.This is not about being incredibly stereotypical, this is not about absolutely zero character development; this is not even about being predictable. This is about the epic failure of the Chinese movie industry, the fact that they DO NOT have the brain power to think of anything new that's suitable in a movie to tie with Martial Art.To conclude this, history is history, we do not need another and another and yet another movie to emphasis the past. We won't be nemesis trying to revenge the Japanese, this is not "glorious bastard", and we do not want to fall back in the same pattern and same routine, that's why we study history. And Just a side note, never did a single Chinese troop fought outside of Asia during WW1, try harder next time.

j-m-w This film tries to be more than just an action movie but fails because of this. The plot is complex with a lot of main characters and a lot of relationships. But the story itself is absolutely boring. Another "bad Japan, good China" blabla from the Hongkong studios. After the "historical" introduction, which is as correct as the propaganda of the third Reich, you know everything about the plot you need to know. The rest is only added to make the plot more than a side-dish in a action movie. But the try to make a mixture of a action movie and a kind of a Drama or Thriller fails. The plot is boring and unnecessary and the Action is cut for the plot.So in the end there is neither a classical Actionmovie than a Thriller.Long story short i end: Boring movie, even for (eastern)Actionmovie fans.
