I love jet li.  His good guy acting skills need work but he's awesome in his martial arts Grin Grin


jet li sux.

he is humorless, stiff, unconvincing; his kung pow is contrived, not as convincing as jackie chan's or as technical as donnie yen's. he is almost invincible.

after watching that travesty romeo must die, i wanted to BE romeo so i could just die from the pain. jet li and anthony anderson in one movie.

idiots.

jet li sux.

Grannie
Jackie has acted with Americans before - Rush Hour, Shanghai Noon are good examples.

I don't think the American would be a problem. It would only help sales.

Lets see how it goes. April 18th . . . and it's a Friday too  Wink Grin

well I'm not big on Jet Li but Hero was a nice movie

Neoteny, I don't even know which is worse between adding women just to play the sexpot or rhe token black person. Although alot of tghe movies I like are "serious" so you don't see the token black often so I'll stick with ranting about unnecessary females roles.

Saw Vantage Point yesterday and

I was quite disappointed. . .

The director obviously spent more time on the grand concept of the different story angles than the actual story. . The real story lacked depth. . .
and i found a flaw in one of the story angles. . . the story from Matthew Fox's point of view. .thats Kent

In the original view, thats from the TV crew, 2 shots were fired at the President, then he goes down. , then Dennis Quaid launches at Kent and starts barging him with questions and the bomb went off. .
But in Forest Withacker's view, Dennis Quaid was with him using the camcoder to zoom into the room where the bullets came from, then the bomb went off. .
So where was Quaid when the bomb went off. . .??

Mite be wrong though, because i was dozing off while watchin Grin Grin

Good car chasing at the end though, but they spent so much time on the concept and neglected the story, which I think is the movie. .

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Cheesy  Don't forget the nauseating use of flash backs.  I thought I was watching 24 or something.  My dear husband was about to punch the next person if he saw one more "12:59" in that movie.  A major waste of time I say.  If not the use of flash backs, the movie would have lasted only 30 minutes!

Forrest Whittaker was terrible in the movie (Vantage Pioint). Ugh. They tried so hard to make it some whiny sympathetic movie with the foolish little girl walking into traffic and Forrest whing like a lunatic abut his family. Blah give me a break!

Revolver is better than Bank Job

although Bank Job wasnt bad but it focused too much on the women and frankly if it were up to me, women wouldnt exist in movies esp if their only role is to serve as the "sex kitten". Now roles like Pam grier in Jackie Brown or Uma in Kill Bill are fine and you don't get those often

I thought Forest Whitaker was a "stroke victim" in that movie I swear! Grin  God forgive me!

Quote from: iice on April 01, 2008, 04:15 PM
Ohhh gawd!! Thank you!!

So bank job is good?


Bank Job was decent. If you excuse the cheap opportunities for some of the women there to show their dry boobs for no reason.  But coming from the "Brits", I could not expect anything better.  Infact, I think a couple walked out of the movie theatre when the dry sleazy scenes started coming up.  Nothing erotic or romantic about them at all.  Just dry! I loved the suspense and the story line. 

It reminded me of "The Italian Job"! Grin  I went home to watch "The Italian Job" all over again just to see that dude again!

All of the above=reviews. Cool  Lame?  Maybe.  But we did not waste our $50 like we did in "Vantage Point"! Kiss

Yet Jet Li is fake, I don't like him really, but I love Jackie Chan.

I've hardly said more than a word in reference to Jet Li about this film. I think Jackie's flair for comedy and martial arts will be obvious in the film.

Surprised you guys are not excited about Jackie though . . .

Lmao iice, anytime I go on my "women should be removed from movies' rant, guys stare at me like I'm insane, gues sthey need their eyecandy, whatever. Of course I have nothing against females as I am one but alot of time their roles are so bloody unnecessary

In Snatch, there was just ONE woman really and that was Brad Puitt's mom and she served a purpose. Take Departed, was that stupid tart Leo was sleeping with necessary to the story, um no. Same with Jennifer Connelly's character in Blood Diamond, I can go on and on, but i wont, for now  Tongue

anyway yea Bank Job was pretty entertaining but I still think Revolver was better even though Snatch still remains as my fav Jason Statham movie  Wink

Yeah i wondered why Jennifer Connelly's character even existed in that movie Undecided A dude can just play the reporter part.  It's always love interest thing Undecided Be making unnecessary parts for women. 
Ok if the movie is entertaining, i'l give it a shot.  Besides i like heist movies Tongue

@AJ, british movies are not for everyone Tongue There was a time i used to wonder what da heck and then i saw trainspotting and lock stock & 2 smoking barrels.  Now i like their movies.  It's not usually the trash we get in hollywood Tongue Lmao @ Dry boobs Tongue

Ok Jet li is stiff, but like TOH, i loved Hero.  And he is more in his element in a chinese movie.  I prefer him in silent roles like Lethal Weapon 4 Grin Jackie Chan is more of a comedian.

Granchile, i said American Ninja vibeor maybe 3 ninjas vibe will get my point across Undecided

TOH, i loved curse of the Golden Flower.  It made me fall in love with Chow again.

I think Jet Li is cool. The problem i think is from the roles he's playing. Jet Li and Jackie Chan approach the martial arts in their movies with unique styles. Jet Li has force, speed, stamina, tactics and superb styles. Jackie Chan's style however includes manouverability, doggedness, agility, wit and sometimes power. Jet Li fights head on while Jackie Chan most of the times starts by defending himself and then uses the opponents power against them. I have watched plenty of Jet Li's movies produced in china like Once Upon a time in China 1&2&3, Fong Sai Yuk 1&2, Lord of the Wu Tang Clan (Evil Cult), Fist of Legend, Black Mask, Swordsman etc. I can assure you that anybody who has watched this movies will agree that Jet Li is in his element. But it has come to my attention that Jet Li has been picking shitty roles in american films that don't do him justice to his skills. That i think is where the problem lies. Whenever i want to watch a comedy kung-fu, i watch jolly old jackie chan, but when i want hard core, butt whupping traditional chinese movie, give me Jet Li anytime, anyday.

Jackie wack? Well we all have different tastes.

Arrrggghhh like I don't really have time for movies . . . and get to miss most of them. (don't know how  you guys keep up though, maybe there's a secret.)

How recent is the curse of  the golden flower?

I see you like pure undiluted chinese martial arts so films like kunfu hussle and Jackie's comedy flicks don't come across to you.

jet li is a one-act dog.

thats why he gets shitty roles

because his acting skills are shitty

jet li can't live without wires to help him pull off his mechanical "chans".

jackie chan owns him


@d-reloaded

i can't bear to watch a movie full of dudes. a woman spices things up even if she doesnt strip.

iice, Glad you like it. Gong Li is gorrgeous. I just don't understand how she didnt let her boobs suffocate her being stuffed up like that. Gosh  Tongue

Neoteny, like I said it depends on the movie. Just don't like women who are there to s4rve jhust ONE purpose. If being the "love interest/sex kitten" is just ONE of her many roles in the movie then I'm fine. Curse of The Golden Flower has Gong Li(gorgeous woman, great actress), her role was VERY important even though she d9oes play a demented love interest.
Random black dudes are usually placed in mediocre movies and since when it come sto film, I try not to watch crap like that anyway , I don't have to deal with such  Wink

somze, I can't watch movies with you man. if the plot of COGF is complicated for yiou, then I'D be destined to watch American Pie for the rest of my life.  Embarrassed Tongue. Stop spoiling the movie for yourself and bloody watch it. Very entertaining.

I like Jet Li o, whether he can act or not, I just like his fighting. War was cool for an action flick IMO, has anyone seen Tau ming chong?

I watched vantage point, it was ok, very good car chase scene but I expected more action in the end Tongue.

only low budget flicks feature jason statham. i find him stocky, inflexible and much better in lock stock and 2 smoking barrels as the turk.

jet li sux

i wont lie to you, man, but the premise of vantage point far supercedes the actual execution. yah, thrills abound in the car chase etc, but in the end the whole thing leaves a bitter taste in the eye.   Grin
