   Very Nice and a bit special but sometimes too impossible!
   I realy enjoyed it, the action and the filming not to mention the original idea of this war between two totally different families who have nothing in common and come from whole different worlds! The love between 2 of those families is special and the fact that you find out in the end - that all the murders in the movie caused by unexpected people, which makes the movie unexpected. The soundtrack is exellent for hiphop fans (like me!). The last thing that was great is Aaliya - a very talented girl who defenetly know how to act and dance.. The only problem in this movie is that the action things were to much like- "Misson impossible 2" - which nothing made sense there. To much impossible things, that makes this movie - 8, without it I think I would give it 9!!

   This is a movie for Jet Li and Aaliyah fans.
   Jet Li’s portrayal of a villain in Lethal Weapon 4 was far superior. Nonetheless, I enjoyed watching him do his thing.

   Oh yea, watching Russell Wong get his ass kicked made it all the more worth while.

   Absolutely pathetic - rarely do they come much worse

   Jet Li is great! The only negative comment I have is regards the stupid Matrix-like karate action. They should take a lesson from Chuck Norris or Bruce Lee on how to do realistic karate movements. However, the plot was good, and Delroy Lindo is always a strong presence.

    Action just filled with action
    I loved this movie. Even though I knew that the fight scenes were done with wires. I still loved it. Aalyiah made a great first appearence on the big screen I will defiantly get this on DVD when it comes out.

    Jet Li, part 3…
    Jet Li’s new movie reminded me of a light chinese dinner. You don’t get a lot of portions on your plate and after eating you’re hungry again for more after only a short while.

    Jet Li doesn’t have very many action sequences in this movie. Maybe the producers felt that they had to keep the "mindless" fighting to a minimum to appeal to critics and get better reviews. The end result is a movie that doesn’t deliver a lot of what you would expect from an overseas star known for his martial arts.

    The result is a movie that delivers just enough action to keep you around long enough to sit through the less interesting scenes, which were more than I cared to watch. If you’re expecting a movie similar to his very classic "Fist of Legend," you will definitely be disappointed.

    Pluses: Seeing Russell Wong on screen again. Aaliyah. Interesting use of fake "x-ray vision."

    Minuses: Action was too few and far between. Some martial arts sequences were faaaaar too hokey. Trying to cram too much story into a movie somewhat unsuccessfully.

    Kicks, flips, tricks, and chicks — and Jet Li to boot (so to speak)
    Hong Kong has slowly been making its way into Hollywood with the likes of actors such as Chow Yun Fat, producer/directors like John Woo, and martial arts choreographers in the class of Woo-ping Yuen, and now the genre comes into its own with Romeo Must Die.

    The core idea here is two gangs — one led by a well-rounded performance Delroy Lindo as Issak O’Day, the other a respectable job by Henry O as Ch’u Sing — who each run two square miles of ocean-front property. The combined four square miles is enough for a new stadium, and O’Day wants to go legit. The only way he can do this is with Chu’s help.

    Someone, however, isn’t as keen on these plans, and makes trouble by starting a war, and making sure it is personal for both gang leaders. This trouble leads to Jet Li’s role as Han Sing, Chu’s eldest son, who took a fall for his dad, and must break out of prison. That done, he must get to the cause of the war before the war gets him.

    Isaiah Washington, Russell Wong, and Aaliyah (in her first on-screen appearance) put forth a good effort, if a touch stereotypical. There is both good and bad in those three, but it takes some digging to find it all.

    The main claim to fame for this film is Jet Li and his action sequences. Despite the violence in the film, it is really not graphic at all, even when the opportunity clearly presents itself. Andrzej Bartowiak’s direction is well-done (he and Li worked together in Lethal Weapon 4), although some of the scenes are quite obviously influenced by last year’s The Matrix. These scenes also seemed to lack some of the polish of their predecessor, which, were it not for the Li’s absolutely over-the-top martial arts capabilities, might detract from the sequences. Some of them are truly spectacular, however, and worth a good look — or maybe even two.

    The script and plot are a little thin, but certainly much better than one might expect for an American martial arts film. Some of the scenes are drawn very far out, though, and the lack of action tends to leave the viewer wishing for *something* to happen to move things along.

    The soundtrack is entirely rap, a successful experiment for a mainstream movie in much the same way that the heavy metal soundtrack for The Matrix turned out to be quite successful, adding a serious edge to the film. When the music starts, you know to pay attention.

    Easily worth a matinee, but depending on how much your local ticket prices are, you may want to look at other fare before seeing this one. On my personal scale, I give it a $7.25, so the $7.50 I paid wasn’t so bad.
