4.0 out of 5 stars Jet's best American film, Jun 6 2004

Since coming to the US, Jet has been given a variety of akward roles. Romeo Must Die was probably his best film outside of China. The cast flowed smoothly together, and the story had a few twists.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bad Story, but Jet Li, Jun 4 2004

This review is from: Romeo Must Die (Widescreen) (DVD)

Why is it that movies with Kung Fu elements never really satisfy, except of course for the Matrix and Crouching Tiger. The authors of the story have tried to make a modern day Romeo and Juliet, in this case Asian Jet Li and black Aaliyah. This is all fair and well, but there is no real story to it. They come together, are good and survive in the end.

Thankfully there are some very good Kung Fu scenes by Jet Li which makes it fun. where Jackie Chan is more comedy, Jet Li is certainly art and well choreographed. The scene when he is playing football is a good one, the other is where he beats up some dudes with a hose.

With an hour and 50 minutes it's too long, so just skip to the fighting parts on the DVD.

This review is from: Romeo Must Die (Widescreen) (DVD)

I rented this movie at blockbuster and i liked it. Jet Li's martial arts was fantastic and i like the part at the store where Maurice calls Han dimsan. My rating for this movie is a 10 out of 10.

1.0 out of 5 stars The L.I.Y.A.H. & Jet Li?
Just one question that remained on my mind throughout this horrid film. Who decided that Aaliyah should be put with someone as old as Jet Li? Read more
