toluxe0075: Stop judging Jet li's acting using the Expendables. He had almost nothing to do in that movie. And yes, his martial skill was the main reason he was in that movie. Besides, none of the actors stood out in that trilogy except for Antonio Banderas in the third part and perhaps Dolph Laudgren in the first part, because it was meant to be an all action movie.
Jackie has played almost the same role in all of his Hollywood movies with the foreigner looking like the only serious role. And most all of these roles mirrors the character he plays in his Chinese movies. Also, Jackie's Hollywood casting are majorly based on his comedic and martial art ability. Jet li is weak when it comes to comedy, that is why he never got the kind of likeable roles like Rush hour, Shanghai knight and noon, the spy next door etc Jackie got in Hollywood. However, because Jet li seems too serious, it only lands him roles where he gets serious like cradle to the grave, the one, kiss of dragon, Romeo must die, War, Lethal weapon 4.
Besides, Europeans and Americans watch Jackie and Jet li movies for their martial art and not for their acting skill. It is why they are never cast in serious roles that requires serious acting from them. They just want to see them kick some assss.
However, I still believe Jet li is ahead of Jackie when it comes to acting. Warlord, Fearless, the sorcerer and the snake, Ocean heaven, unleashed all show that Jet li has range when it comes to acting. Nevertheless, the new Police story, Shinjuku incident and the foreigner all show that Jackie acting can be very great outside of his usual comedic, goofy, underdog movies. that's your opinion on the issue and I respect it... but why can't my opinion be respected? I'm a die hard jet li fan who thinks Jackie Chan is a slightly better actor, that's my opinion. I still have once upon a time in China 2 on my phone cuz jet li was incredible and I can watch it over and over again but I still believe Jackie Chan to be better. |

kendrick93: In a nutshell really. I like Jetli but Jackie is a couple of levels above him. Jackie is not just a Chinese movie star Li but also an international movie star. I can watch Jackie's movie collections twice everyday, they are so fun and entertaining, never gets old... The only comparison might be in China, in the outside world Jackie is way too big.. A Legend.... you are on point bro. I re-watched the Expendables 1-3 recently and I realised that Sylvester Stallone only kept jet li around because of his martial arts/the Chinese box office gross he would attract, Jet li was one of the worst actors in the Expendables which led to the drastic reduction of scenes for his character. |

pu7pl3: Nah, you just screenshotted the first opinion that suited your take, there are varying opinions on who the better actor is on Google and to be fair most of the opinions were based mainly on the better stunts man not really acting prowess
If we want to really digest this matter let's talk about things that make up an all round good actor...so what do you think are the qualities of a good actor? you are still misunderstanding me bro, I said they were both good but Jackie Chan is better in my opinion. the truth is that arguing about "Jet li vs Jackie Chan" is like arguing about "Messi vs Ronaldo", which is a bottomless pit... you can only prefer one over the other. Peace. |

Kaycee7: Jet Li played 2 contrasting characters in that movie but Jackie who played another iteration of what we've been seeing from him and 5 minutes as an old man was the better actor? Are you for real right now? Have you seen Jet Li in Fearless, Hero and The Warlords? Even Jackie's best acting outings in New Police Story and Shinjuku Incident couldn't top those. forget about how many characters they portrayed, I made reference to the forbidden kingdom because you get to see them both together for better observation which is based on the two monks they portrayed... you are right and no one can argue that jet li was great in the movies you mentioned, but jet li's great acting stops in the borders of China as he performs average or below in international roles while Jackie Chan manages to be good home and abroad. |
TV/Movies › Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by sajmark(m): 10:15am On Dec 10, 2020 |
pu7pl3: has Jackie ever played anything other than a good funny underdog type of guy? Jet li bodied Jackie in Forbidden Kingdom, he played 2 different roles bruh
Go and check out Jet Li in Danny the Dog or The one c'mon bro don't tell me you seriously want to argue this, jet li is good but Jackie is better... put martial arts aside, jet li's acting was horrible in Danny the dog. Jet li performed great only in local movies like "fong sai yuk", "once upon a time in China", the warlords" etc but struggled in international roles like "expendables" and "danny the dog"... while Jackie Chan did good home and abroad. |

pu7pl3: Jet li is a better actor with better range jet li's acting was incredible in The "once upon a time in China" franchise but Jackie is an overall better actor. reWatch "the forbidden kingdom" again and you'll see that Jackie is slightly better. |

Anontymous: Hi, I connected my pocket WiFi device to my RN7 for the first time. I discovered that the "Google" app used almost 2gb within the space of less than two hours without having anything to do with the app. Is there a solution to this?. I tried searching the internet for answers but found nothing tangible. Thank you. 1. Restrict the app from using background data. 2. Restrict the app from using data at all. 3. Disable the app if you rarely or don't use it. 4. if you use it, then open the app and scan through its settings... there are few options you can check or uncheck to reduce data consumption. |

alexistaiwo: Jackie Chan can't act shiit.
Go and rewatch his movies as an adult and see how bland his portrayal of emotions are.
He was just lucky to have his break at a time where there were no competitions. He is only respected because he performs his own stunts. I never said Jackie Chan was a great actor, I said he was far better than Scott Adkins and I'm not taking it back anytime soon. Jackie Chan is a comedian, and no matter how bad his acting is he manages to make his audience laugh. Take away martial arts and Jackie Chan would be the Chinese version of Kevin Hart, while Scott Adkins would just be an extra in movies. |
TV/Movies › Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by sajmark(m): 1:33pm On Dec 08, 2020 |
alexistaiwo: Take away Jackie Chan martial arts skills too and same could be said for him yet he is a legend in the industry. Don't trivialise his peculiar skill set like everyone could do what he does. I get your point and I acknowledge that Scott Adkins is unique in his own way but Jackie Chan is a far better actor than Scott Adkins, with or without martial arts. |

eby001: Except MTN reception is poor, even without using glo to browse, it's a battery sucker. Reason I switched to MTN was because there was no 4g reception in my new location. Even on 2g it sucks Bad network drains battery faster no doubt, but I see guys here generalising the fact that Glo network is a battery sucker whereas I have been using Glo to browse, stream and download without any increase in battery drain... I think it will be better if we point out that the strength of Glo's signal in our area is the cause and not the Company in general. I come in peace though, today is weekend and we know how some weekends can be in this thread.  |

queenfav: Glo network is a battery drainer,i have confirmed it .I switched to Mtn data subscription and my phone is getting 11 hrs SOT.It has NEVER gotten even 9hrs with Glo. This depends on whether Glo network is good in your location or not, and clearly Glo isn't good @ where you reside. |

Bad network 4. Usage I thought my redmi7 battery is depreciating, alas, I was wrong. Just had to change my browsing SIM to MTN due to location change and I experience a drastic improvement in battery life nice info, you should consider updating your security App... it looks way cooler now |

I wondered the same thing too... Imagine putting warrior and into the badlands together in the same sentence. into the badlands started well but came crashing after each season. |
