Movie Reviews of War (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: War
Summary: 4 Stars
"War" is a serious, sophisticated, powerful action-thriller with a decent plot and good performances, especially by Jet Li. There is great action and fighting in this movie, there is one fight scene where it becomes so furious, even in the beginning, that it's impossible to follow what is happening to whom whereby the story gets jumbled and collapses partially - becoming fighting for fighting sake whereas a great director would have been able to save the plot outline even in this complicated and physically well-executed stretch of the movie. Jason Statham's seems to have martial arts skills above his job classification which make it sometimes a bit incredible, but still enjoyable. By the time the twist comes along, it's actually quite a nice one, but not executed with the greatest of credibility. This is overall a good, compelling, and rather complicatedly sublime movie. This movie is rich with action.Movie Review: Not a martial arts movie
Summary: 4 Stars
It seems many people think this would be a martial arts film due to the fact that Jet Li is in it, but not so.
The movie is not all that bad, it has a decent plot and storyline. Anyone who is a Jet Li fan will probably want to take a look as he steps out of his traditional role and goes for something a bit different. But don't hold your breath waiting for some riveting, high quality fight scenes or you will pass out before long. ;)
Is it a movie to add to your home collection? Perhaps not..best to rent it. But I think it is worth a bowl of popcorn and 2 hours. Enjoy!
Movie Review: Great for Jet Li fans. So so for others
Summary: 4 Stars
I strongly agree with the majority of reviewers here that this movie cant satisfy most of the target audience who expect violent confrontations between Li and Statham. However, as a fan of Li, I like the movie much for its extremely stylish depiction of Li as the very intelligent and nearly invincible assasin who knows strategy. I like the plot, too, but I wont ruin your interest by disclosing it. Despite the not so promising ratings here, I suggest you to rent it for a good entertainment after dinner. The rental and your valuable time will be well paid back.Movie Review: more gun play than feet flying
Summary: 4 Stars
If you are expecting a flat out martial arts film you will be disappointed. This movie is more of a cops vs bad guys with a slight tinge of martial arts. Once you get past that aspect, I thought the movie as well as the story was decent. The mystery behind who Rogue (Jet Li's character) is and why he is playing the triads against the yakuza accompanied with the action will keep you entertained from the beginning of the film to the end. The story also has a twist that makes the movie even more interesting. This is definitely a movie worth checking out.Movie Review: Gangs All Here
Summary: 4 Stars
I was expecting a great showdown of martial art mayhem between Jet Li and Jason Statham. What you get is a somewhat compelling story that has a great twist at the end that you never see coming. War contains some great action scenes and moments of "I can't believe they just did that!". The extras on the DVD are okay. Deleted scenes don't include anything outstanding and are probably only a little over a minute long all together.
