Watched the movie "Fearless"*smiles* Grew up watching Jet Li's movies and he is one of idol. I loved his movies, especially those where he plays the characters Wong Fei Hong and Fang Shi Yu. He has been my all time favourite action star... and Isuppose is the only one. *I don't like Jackie Chan in case you are wondering* He is simply A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

If you have been disappointed with his previous holloywood movies such as Lethal Weapon 4 and The One, I can assure you, you will no longer be disappointed. Once again, Jet Li teams up with director Ronny Yu (The Bride with White Hair), marking their return into Asia market with Fearless.

Jet Li portrays the life of martial art master Huo Yuan Jia [霍元甲] (also the Chinese title for the film). The movie surrounds how he restored the pride and glory of the Chinese during the early 1900's from the intrusion and invasion of the Western powers and the growing Japanese power, where they have been calling the Chinese 'the sick man of Asia.' Huo Yuan Jia proves them wrong by accepting the challenges of the American fighters, the British and Spanish fighters, and the Japanese samurai Tanaka (Japanese actor Shidou Nakamura). However, just before the showdown between Tanaka and Huo, the past of Huo is being introduced to the audience - a proud and arrogant fighter then, who wanted to make himself the one and only invincible fighter of TianJin (Huo's hometown).

His arrogance and past victories from the competitions, which in one he killed his opponent just to prove that he is invincible, indirectly lead to the death of his mother and daughter. Huo lost his sanity after the death of his loved ones and drowns into a river, where he was saved by a young lady and her granny. Living with them for 7 years makes Huo realize the real meaning of martial arts, which he eventually sets up Jing Wu Martial Art School, to promote the value of strengthening and developing Mind, Body and Soul.

Previously stated in his interview on making a movie that he truly ones, Jet Li has achieved his objective in Fearless. Unlike any other B-Action flick focusing on how well the actor fights, Fearless carry the message of not to resort violence to settle any problem, where we can see how violence did to Huo's loved ones.The showdown between Huo and other foreign fighters also promotes the idea of sparing your enemy a chance, no matter how deadly they could be. This, somehow, reflects on part of the idea and philosophy Jet Li understands and promotes from his one year Buddhism studies.

One point to note is Fearless has been badly edited from the original 150 min version. To fit in the market demand, Fearless has been mercilessly chopped into a 103 min theatrical version. Michelle Yeoh, who makes a special appearance in Fearless, has been unfortunately removed. The duel between Jet Li and Thai boxer has also been removed, sad to say. Somehow, the movie has make the audience wants to go for something more than 103 min version.*sigh. so disappointing*
