this sucked real bad


bad dialogues, cliched story, bad acting by jet li and others,
and fight scenes are not that spectacular.
i gave it 4/10.

It seems that you did not watch this film until the end, as you will find that the story is not cliched as it is based on a true story. If a story based on truth is cliched to you, I have to ask, do you think life itself is a cliche?

reply

it's not based on a true story, i don't know where you got that impression.

reply

It is based on a true story look it up. A few elements of the film have been stretched though...but Huo Yuanjia was a real person, a master of Chinese Wushu and was a legend for the honor he brought to his nation.

Jack Shephard "You disrespect his memory by wearing his face but you're nothing like him."

reply

It's based on Huo Yuanjia's life the same way Ip Man was based on Ip Man's life. As in a lot of what you see is either very exaggerated or just flat out didn't happen.

Not enough people nowadays realize that "based on a true story" movies are usually extensively fictionalized.

reply

firstly, watch the director's cut, not the mutilated corpse.


if you don't like the director's cut, it's safe to say you like bad movies.

reply

it's based on a real life person mixed with myths/folktales about his life.

reply

and straight-up fabrications. the part about his wife and child dying was understandably upsetting to those of his descendants who saw the film. also, he never had athsma, he had a very serious lifelong illness

Cliché story ?? Its history, how can history be cliché. And I watched ALOT of martial arts, it isnt cliché at all, Fearless is a very strange movie for martial arts because basicly it isnt about martial arts at all, it isnt about a good guy that is wronged in this or another way by a bad guy, good guy goes training and then a grand endbattle where the good guy finnaly beats the bad guy. THAT is cliché.
Reading that, only tells me one thing, you have no clue what the heck your talking bout. But I shouldnt be to harsch, it is actually a pitty this kind of shortmindedness.
Perhaps in another life.

I thought Fearless was EXCELLENT!

Many things (like acting) are subjective anyways.



Well, I've got news for you pal, you ain't leadin' but two things: Jack and sh*t and Jack left town

The acting was so-so.

The story was definitely cliche. An unlikeable guy learns a lesson and becomes the hero. Our hero's family is killed. Our hero goes off on an exotic journey and becomes a better person.

This is loosely based on the life of an actual person named Huo Yuanjia. But one Google search will teach you that this film is fabricated, for the most part. Even Braveheart was more true to its tale.

I enjoyed the fight scenes, but some were just bad. Yianja beat his opponents too easily and everyone he fought was a joke.

reply

Agreed. I quit half way. Maybe I don't like "martial arts" movies after all. Or this one was just goofy. Looks like one of those old Chinese kung those movies but with HD. You don't suddenly get 5 stars because of that! But apparently people like it. I'm not sure if I'm a fan of these movies or pro wrestling more. is it possible my opinion could change if I continued from half way? Which is the better half of the movie? Or should I just move on with my life?
