Best movie of this year hands down!

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This movie is a pseudo biographical of Jet Li's early developement. But the real meat of the movie is showing off some really impressive Shaolin training techniques. Like standing on one finger, training the neck to not only be able to break sticks, but to keep a spear from penetrating. There is very little combat fight scenes, but to see the real techniques that are the basis of the cinematic arts is amazing. Some of the footage is apparently of techniques that have never before been demonstrated outside Shaolin. Very impressive and worth watching.
