Fearless (DVD)
Based on a true story, this film has to be Jet Li’s finest martial arts movie. It was touted as his final martial arts epic prior to its release in theaters, and Li certainly did not disappoint me. I thought that it contained all the right elements to become an instant classic in the Chinese martial arts genre.
Fearless left a lasting impression in my mind hours after the credits rolled. It was an extremely powerful movie that was comprised of great action sequences, breathtaking cinematography, flawless acting, and a very strong message. This is easily the best martial arts movie I’ve watched in years.
Fearless is a masterpiece in my eyes and a must have for any fan of Jet Li and/or martial arts films. If your looking for inspiration, you’ve hit the jackpot with this one.
Based on a true story, Jet Li’s ‘Fearless’ tells the life of legendary martial arts master Huo Yuanjia.
Deeply humiliated by his father’s death in a public duel, a young Huo resolves to become the best fighter he can be. But soon his incredible fighting skills cost him the lives of the people he loves most when his family are killed in a brutal revenge attack. Yuanjia flees, no longer caring whether he lives or dies. Just as he is ready to give up hope, he is saved by Granny Sun and her blind granddaughter who accept him into the idyllic village where they live. t. What happened that day in 1910 has never been, and will never be, forgotten in China.

I think this was the perfect movie for Jet Li to exit the martial arts movie industry with a bang. I am glad that I have found someone else who enjoyed this film as much as I did. My favourite scene was with Jet Li and his Japanese opponent (I forgot his name.. =/) were sitting in front of each other drinking tea. And they were debating over the ‘classes’ of tea and Jet Li said that at the end of it all, it is tea. At least, that’s what I think the scene was about. It’s been a while since I saw it, LOL!
Hope that you had a great Christmas! =) Best wishes this season for you and your family. Take care of yourself, Trench! -
@Marz Thanks for the Christmas wishes. I also agree that the tea scene was a very good one.

In this ranking on the Best martial artist ever Jet Li is only ranked 12th. Outrageous.
